Octopuses Trim Tasmanian Lobster Catch Anew
In Launceston Tasmania giant octopuses raid crayfish from lobster pots around Flinders Island. Jack Hammond head of the local fishing association says this season’s catch is under half of expectations. He notes fishermen killed many large octopuses some with tentacles up to twenty feet and cites a decline in shark numbers due to fishing as allowing octopuses to proliferate.
