Global warming

How does global warming affect the population of lobsters?

The temperature and chemical composition of the water has a large affect on lobsters. Although warmer water increases lobster population, it could disrupt the larval lobsters food source witch would lead to a decrease in population. When the water is warmer, it could also lead to lobsters getting diseases.

How does global warming affect lobsters diet?

Carbon dioxide negativity affects lobster because it negativity affects smaller organisms like mussels and shrimp that lobsters eat. Therefore, it not only weakens the things lobsters eat, but also weaken lobster. This makes lobster more vulnerable in the ocean, smaller, and not as tasty.

How has global warming affected lobster migration?

Due to warmer weather, it has forced lobsters to migrate to colder waters. Between Long Island and Buzzards Bay, the population of lobster has dropped, and has grown in the gulf of Maine.
