Aint no lobster in the gulf.
The Texas oyster beds, shrimp and fishing are fine.
We’ll survive this.
LOL no lobster in the Gulf? Okey dokey. I fill my freezer every year August- November. Florida Lobster. Not Maine lobster. For the first time since I joined the attitude of many FReepers is really pissing me off. It’s not fine, stop pretending it is.

I have a clue for you... they won’t be. 90% of it is down deep below the surface. If the eddy in the loop current closes off, it’s not heading toward me bud, it’s ALL heading for you.
Man up and admit you were wrong.
Biology
Four spiny lobsters off the Florida coastLike most decapods, the Florida spiny lobster hatches from eggs carried externally by the female. They begin life as a free-swimming, microscopic larvae. After undergoing several molts, they settle to the sea floor and live in holes or crevices in the reef or between mangrove roots. As they grow, they molt or shed their exoskeleton to make room for their larger bodies. As in other decapods, after molting, the new exoskleton or shell is soft, and has to harden. During this time, the lobster is highly vulnerable to predation and as a result they are usually very retiring until the new exoskleton hardens fully. They consume detritus, vegetable material, and dead animals and fish they find on the bottom.
P. argus is a nocturnal species, taking to cover during the day. They serve as prey for octopuses, nurse sharks, triggerfish, loggerhead turtles, harbor seals off the Carolinas and sometimes down into Florida, bottlenose dolphins, and stingrays, although their greatest predator is man. Although they generally prefer to remain near cover, at times groups of hundreds will line up and march across the floor of some of the waters of southern Florida’s Biscayne Bay, Card Sound, and Florida Bay. The purpose of these “migrations” is not known, but they generally occur in the fall and may be in response to falling temperatures in the shallows.
[edit] Habitat
Individuals can be found at depths of up to 90 metres (300 ft) from Brazil to North Carolina,including the entire Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea, the Bahamas, Bermuda, and eastern South America, with occasional reports from West Africa.[1] Although they range throughout the entire Gulf of Mexico, in the northern portions of the Gulf they generally are only found at depths of 33 metres (108 ft) and greater due to the seasonal variation in the water temperature. Around the southern portion of the Florida peninsula and throughout the Bahamas and Caribbean, they are found in shallower water. They generally prefer habitat with some sort of cover and can be found around coral reefs, artificial reefs, sponges, bridge pilings, wooden bridge bumpers, piers, and under the prop roots of mangroves.
