Massive lobster mortality in the Oosterschelde: research into the role of steel slag

Lobster fishermen are deeply concerned about the massive lobster die-off in the Oosterschelde estuary. The lobster season has just opened, but very few lobsters are being caught. "This year is nothing like other years, so bizarrely few," says lobster fisherman Henk Jumelet from Bruinisse. "We're catching practically nothing. And many lobsters are still limp and unhealthy."
