Shore Crabs

As part of my study of Estuarine/ Marine Fauna I caught several Green shore Crabs (Carcinus maenas) on Bacon wrapped in Persil bags. Having wieghed & measured tham they seem to be in good health. I also caught only one Harbour Crab (Liocarcinus depurator) In the drop net several Lobsters but these were just below the CEFAS Limits these toowere weighed measured & released.

There are also several Mullet at Lowestoft & look to be Thick Lipped but cannot be sure as I cannot catch one to see.
