V-notching is a voluntary practice amongst commercial lobster fish harvesters where one in four egg-bearing female lobsters is notched with a special tool that cuts a V shape from the section of the tail fan. The lobster is then carefully returned to the water. V-notching remains clearly visible for several years, and allows the female to grow larger, spawn several times and produce more and better quality eggs. 3, record 1, English, - V%2Dnotching

Le marquage par encoche en V est une mesure appliquée volontairement par les pêcheurs commerciaux de homard. Il s'agit de pratiquer une encoche en V au moyen d'un outil spécial sur l'éventail de la queue [d'une femelle uvée] sur quatre. Les homards ainsi marqués sont ensuite remis à l'eau avec précaution. L'encoche en V reste visible pendant plusieurs années. En préservant de la capture les femelles ainsi marquées, on leur permet de grossir, de se reproduire plusieurs fois et de pondre des [œufs] plus nombreux et de meilleure qualité. 2, record 1, French, - marquage%20par%20encoche%20en%20V

There are two methods for serving lobster in the shell. The shell can be broken apart using lobster crackers and the meat then picked out, or the lobster can be cut in half down the centre and the claws cut open with a large heavy knife. All of the lobster is edible except for the shell, the small stomach(hard sac) behind the head and the dark vein, running down the back of the tail. 2, record 3, English, - lobster%20in%20the%20shell
