INSTALLATION CONSERVATION HOMARD [1 record]

Record 1 2017-10-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Commercial Fishing
DEF

A facility, structure or impoundment used to hold live, wild caught lobsters.

OBS

lobster pound; pound: These terms are also used in the narrower sense of "water tank in which live lobsters are kept."

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pêche commerciale
OBS

parc à homards : On semble parler de «parc» surtout pour désigner un «parc à marée» («tidal pound» en anglais), mais ce terme, comme le terme «vivier», convient en principe pour désigner d'autres structures ou installations servant à la conservation des homards vivants.

OBS

vivier à homards : Le terme «vivier» peut avoir le sens de «bassin», de «réservoir» ou «d'enclos» où sont conservés des poissons ou des crustacés vivants. On trouve donc le terme «vivier à homards» aussi employé pour désigner des notions proches mais plus spécifiques.
