undersized lobster

From

Dentre as várias irregularidades que vem sendo postas em prática em toda cadeia produtiva, destacam-se o uso de técnicas ilegais, tais como: uso de compressor de artes de pesca com malhas de tamanho inferior ao permissionado, além do uso de embarcações não licenciadas, principalmente operando em águas rasas, habitat natural de lagostas juvenis. Este conjunto de irregularidade promove também a captura de espécies em tamanho inferior ao permitido, tradicionalmente chamada de lagosta miúda, além de proporcionar uma sobrepesca ao estoque

Note that it's explicitly equated to "smaller than permitted". The second URL confirms the use of "undersized lobster" in English.

The quote, of course, comes from the first URL. Sorry.

Having lived in the maritimes (NS) for over 15 years, I can say this is the popular and commercial term for small lobsters (not necessarily undersized, just the small stuff). I can't say that this is what your text specifically refers to, however. They may mean undersized lobster.
