for the spiny lobster trap fishery are due tomorrow by 5 p.m.

Completed applications and a $1,000 licence fee should be submitted to the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, Botanical Gardens, Paget, and the Fisheries Office at Coney Island Road, St. George's.

The fishery, which is open from September 1, 1996, to March 31, 1997, offers an opportunity for fishermen to utilise a standardised lobster trap to catch spiny lobsters.

A number of terms and conditions apply, including a minimum size regulation stating that a lobster must measure at least 3 5 inches (92mm) along the carapace in order to be of legal size.
