Hide nor hair

Article Abstract:

Western Australia's lobster fisheries, already tightly regulated as to the number of pots that can be used, the fishing season, and the prompt return of small or spawning lobster to the water, will no longer be able to use bovine materials as bait. Lobsters will eat just about anything, and pieces of beef hide used as bait would sometimes cause the lobsters to produce hair balls in their digestive tract, making them unappetizing to customers. The new regulation banning bovine bait is intended to reassure customers, especially in Japan, that the lobsters are safe.
