Seals are probably one of the biggest factors, yes. We have seen that in the groundfishery. That's almost totally wiped out, and we believe it's the seals. We stopped fishing in 1992 for groundfish, and it's pretty much been a moratorium since. Today, the spawning biomass is about 90% less than it was in 1992, and the only answer they can give us is the seals. So it has definitely taken that down.
As far as the seals go, I don't know how much of a problem they are for our lobsters. We do know they're taking the bait bags out of our traps. Whether they're eating the small lobsters or the soft lobsters...I'm sure they are. They are a serious problem.
On other things, we've seen with herring stocks that everything is depleted. Those were probably helping to feed lobsters. When herring are spawning, there's feed. It's all part of the system, I guess.
