I'm not a biologist and I don't spend a lot of time on this, but anecdotally, what we've seen is the fishery in the very southern part of the range, which would be Cape Cod, Rhode Island, that southern part of the range, has basically dried up. The lobsters are moving north to cooler water. What does that mean? I don't exactly know, but in the Canadian zone we've seen massive catches in the Bay of Fundy. We've seen massive catches on the north side of P.E.I. We've seen huge catches around Guysborough county in Nova Scotia.
You'd really have to talk to the DFO biology folks about that. All I can tell you is that it's given us a bountiful harvest to market, and it's been good on one hand, but a challenge on the other.
