Novel predatory threats to lobster 

Have you seen evidence of cunner eating eggs in your lobster traps?

Text us a picture like in the image below that shows what you saw and the date and location of where you saw it.

If possible, measure the cunner or take a picture of the fish with a measuring tool.

This information will help our team document how widespread predator-prey interactions between female egg-bearing lobsters and predatory cunner are happening in the Gulf of Maine.
