Seattle, Washington, USA

At Helgoland (North Sea, German Bight), the first record of lobster (Homarus gammarus) landing was in 1615 with around 37,000 lobsters per year and in the 1790s with around 40,000 to 50,000 lobsters per year. Since the 1880s, lobster landings have been more or less continually reported and the local fishery consisted of around 45 fishing boats until 1944. Since the 1980s, landings of lobsters have been fluctuating at a low level of only a few hundred specimens per year and landings of the edible crab Cancer pagurus has increased.
