| Summary | "The Lobster Fishery of Maine" by John N. Cobb is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The text presents a comprehensive investigation into the lobster fishery in Maine, detailing its declining state, the species' natural history, commercial practices, and fishing regulations. It aims to address concerns regarding the sustainability of this vital industry for New England, particularly emphasizing the significance of scientific understanding in preserving lobster populations. The opening of the work outlines the urgent situation faced by the lobster fishery, highlighting the collaborative efforts of the United States Fish Commission and Maine's Fish Commission to curb the ongoing decline in lobster stocks. It provides initial insights into the biology and reproductive patterns of lobsters, such as their migratory behavior and spawning instincts, while also setting the stage for a historical overview of the fishery's development since the early settlement of New England. This background serves to preemptively counter misconceptions, emphasizing the necessity of scientifically informed legislation and conservation efforts to ensure the future viability of the lobster fishery in Maine.
