STRANDED rock lobsters washed up on the beaches near Swakopmund after an outbreak of red tide have found temporary refuge in the town’s aquarium, sasy Fisheries Minister Dr Abraham Iyambo.

“About half a ton of live rock lobsters were collected by fisheries inspectors and other ministerial staff and put them in the aquarium and when conditions in the ocean waters improve, these lobsters will be released,” the Minister said in a statement on Tuesday.
