Crisis over crustacean

Size matters: Lobsters measuring less than 6cm must be thrown back into the sea as they are too young.

THE monsoon season is usually off-limits for deep-sea fishermen due to strong water current that make it difficult or even dangerous for them to go out to sea.

Also hiding from the strong current are marine crustaceans, such as the mud spiny lobsters (panulirus polyphagus) that migrate from the deep oceans into the shallows.
