How far do lobsters travel?
Inshore lobsters tend to stay in
one place, seldom moving more than a mile or so, but deepwater
lobsters farther out on the Continental Shelf follow
a seasonal migratory pattern shoreward in summer, returning
to the Shelf again in the autumn. The record travel so far
is 225 miles covered by a lobster tagged off the
Continental Shelf and recovered at Port Jefferson, Long Island,
New York.
