Catch of Norway lobster, Nephrops norvegicus (L.), with lobster pot of different mesh size in the Eastern Adriatic.

The effects of pots for Norway lobster with different mesh size (36, 40 and 44 mm) on its population were researched. It was found that all three kinds of pots have got no damaging influence on population of Norway lobster, but because of adverse sex ratio in 36 mm pots (1, 6:1 in favour of females), it was suggested increasing of mesh size from 36 mm to 40 mm. That would result with better protection and management of Norway lobster and it would allow its normal reproduction in the eastern Adriatic.
