2024 LFA 25 Lobster Movement Study

The PEI Fishermen’s Association is seeking 1 Captain, vessel, and crew to participate in the LFA 25 Lobster Movement Study. The hired Captain will set a maximum of 75 traps along a transect that runs parallel with the LFA 25 lines, within LFA 25 starting ASAP (late April, early May). This is considered a good representation of travel into LFA 25 from the Shediac Valley. Lobsters will be satellite tagged and returned to the water where they were caught.

A registration and draw will be administered by the PEIFA to determine the participant for the project. Only PEIFA members who fish in LFA 25 are eligible for the draw.

Registration Dates:
8:30AM April 17th, 2024, until 2:00PM April 22nd, 2024

Fee: No fee for registration

How to Register: Use the form below or contact the PEIFA office to register by phone or in person.

The Draw will be held immediately after the completion of the Registration at 2:00 PM, Friday, April 22nd, 2024.

Interested individuals can find details about the Captain's responsibilities, project protocol and requirements via the website, www.peifa.org or contact Melanie Griffin: 902-330-4466 or melanie@peifa.org.
