Les cantonnements à crustacés des cotes françaises de l'atlantique et de la manche

In order to protect the lobster and crayfish stock, the following restricted areas have been created off the French coasts [...] Some roed females (lobster and crayfish) have been immersed in these protected areas with the financial help of the Revival Scheme of the Marine Fisheries. The Scientific and Technical Institute of Marine Fisheries (Roscoff laboratory) has carried out the individual marking, measuring and weighing of the crustaceans selected for the repopulation and took part in the immersing the spawners in the following protected areas [...] During the recaptures, the markings collected from the fishermen by the marine authorities have been forwarded to the Roscoff laboratory. Thanks to the gathered data, we have been able to draw a number of charts showing the lobsters' movements. We will first present the different protected areas, then the observations made, and finally the conclusions which can be drawn about the crustaceans' movements.
