Due to warming water trends, experts say the province of Prince Edward Island could become a veritable hatchery for lobster within a half-century. While they caution there is a lot they don't know about the spiny delicacies, it does seem almost certain that the trend toward abundance in the Atlantic Canadian lobster fishery is not about to slow down.
"With the temperature increasing in P.E.I. waters and decreasing the number of days a baby lobster is susceptible, you have less predation and an increase in settlement size lobsters," says Memorial University grad student Ryan Stanley, who is the grandson of a lobster fisherman in P.E.I.
Experts are gathering in Charlottetown this week for the "U.S.-Canada Lobster Symposium", a three day conference that is sponsored by the The PEI Fishermen's Association and is intended to look at the effects of climate change on the lobster fishery in Atlantic Canada and the Northeast United States.

Too much lobster?
First World Problem...
Send a few down south. I have a big vat of butter an lemon waiting.
Typical msm lack of proofreading. It should read that the WATERS off Prince Edward Island could be overrun with lobsters.
Now, if the lobsters were to overrun the island itself it would be truly hugh and series. They might cause the island to capsize.
Yes, but there is a butter shortage.
Butter is under $2.00/lb at Costco.
A boon to Canada’s dairy industry which will likely have an over abundance of butter as well!
Dang. There’s always a catch, ain’t there..
Due to global warming, soon the lobsters will be hauled out of the ocean already cooked.
heh
