The finding could improve our understanding of mortality rates
within lobster populations, with implications for sustainable fishing practices.
Long Island lobstermen, already straining under the weight of a seasonal closure of the Long Island Sound and sharply
reduced lobster populations, face the potential for more closures as federal regulators work to rebuild a depleted stock.
A new study says no traces of pesticides were found in lobsters collected in Long Island Sound in late 2014, boosting the belief that warming water temperatures is the main culprit in a
huge lobster population decline.
Some marine ecologists had proposed that the apparent increase in the
Maine lobster population was due to lobsters from elsewhere migrating to the area.
Noteworthy is the establishment of a 20 + year long - term times series of lobster larval settlement in the US and Atlantic Canada; seeking to develop predictive tools
for lobster population trends through an understanding of pre - and post-settlement processes.
Fish and
lobster population growth in these structures is extraordinary, especially juvenile fish, and depends on the shape of Biorock ® structures, which can be made to provide an extraordinary density of hiding places.
Lobstermen on the Long Island Sound are worried new regulations aimed at growing
the lobster population could harm their business.
This restraint is a type of cooperation, and it helped lobstermen maintain
their lobster populations and livelihoods.
 To allow
the lobster population time to recover as part of the departmentÂ's marine management, fishery officials will ban any -LSB-...]
Fishing pressure has reduced
the lobster population in recent years and these spectacular migrations are rare.
The State Party also considers that the current status of marine resources, especially conch and
lobster populations (which the State Party reports to have been stable over the past 15 years), does not indicate the need for a significant increase in the no - take zones.
Over the past 5 years my avg income has been over 6 figures and I think going forward I can most likely save 60 - 80k year for investing (as long as the economy and
the lobster population remain constant).
