NH Sea Grant will hold the first in a series of Fisheries Roundtable discussions on Wednesday, Feb. 8, from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. at the Urban Forestry Center in Portsmouth. The talk is free and open to the public.

Win Watson, professor of zoology at the University of New Hampshire, will discuss the migration of egg-bearing female lobsters.

Richard Wahle, a research scientist with the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, will lead a discussion about the threat of shell disease in New England lobsters. Discussion topics for the series were chosen with input from local commercial fishermen.
