You must return them to the water straight away. Protected rock lobsters are:. Crayfish, or spiny rock lobster, is a delicacy for many New Zealanders. And collecting crayfish is a favorite pastime for many.
Crayfish are widespread throughout New Zealand, particularly in coastal areas where there is plenty of cover. They are normally caught when diving or in crayfish pots. Gathering by hand or using a crayfish lasso are the only catching methods permitted. Using a spear or device could harm the crayfish. Try your hardest to see if the crayfish is of size on the spot, as if you find it's undersize, it will have a higher chance of survival.
Another crayfish is held out of the water, and the width of the underside second tail segment is measured with a yellow lobster ruler. The thorn-shaped spines on the second tail segment are measured 54 mm apart for the male, and 60 mm apart for the female.
To determine if the crayfish is male or female, check if the crayfish has pincers on the rear legs, or check the pleopods. If they are in pairs, it is female.
If single, it's a male. However, if in doubt, use the 60 millimeter measurement. Pleopods, small paddlelike appendages, are shown on the underside of a female. There are two on each side of the segment, one on top of the other.
Pleopods are shown on the male crayfish. There is only one pleopod on each side of the segment. This should be determined immediately so the crayfish can be returned to its original position.
If you don't, it could result in harm from the sun, wind, or attacks from predators as they attempt to return to safety. Once you have caught and measured your crayfish, it's best to protect them from the sun and wind.
If you aren't able to prepare them immediately, place them in a cool chilly bin with ice, keeping in mind that preparing the crayfish should be done as soon as possible.
It's then moved directly, wrapped in newspaper, from the chilly bin to a freezer. Potting is a popular form of gathering seafood here in New Zealand, both commercially and recreationally. Rock lobsters are harvested throughout the year. In general, the lowest catches occur when Rock lobsters are moulting and mating usually between February and May.
The highest catches usually occur from June to November, with regional variations. There are nine rock lobster fisheries management areas around New Zealand. Commercial landings fluctuate at about 2, tonnes each season. Adult rock lobsters migrate to deeper waters, sometimes travelling 20 kilometres or more, to mate and lay their eggs. Dispatch by chilling in the freezer for at least an hour before cooking.
Cooking freshly killed lobsters in boiling salted water turns the flesh from translucent to opaque. For a g lobster, boil for 10 minutes or steam for minutes.
If grilling, par-boil for 5 minutes, put into an ice bowl, remove meat and grill flesh-side down with oil or butter for approximately 5 minutes on each side. By Helena Bay. By Tourism New Zealand.
