Lobster fishermen are worried about another price-depressing glut because ocean temperatures are higher than normal.

April 21, 2013 Canada, National, New England

This could be a rerun article, but it says it’s fresh. I swear I read it a month ago. PORTLAND, MAINE—Ocean temperatures have been higher than normal in the Gulf of Maine, creating worries among lobstermen. They fear there could be a repeat of last spring’s early harvest, which resulted in a market glut, a crash in the prices they received and a blockade of Maine-caught lobsters in Canada. continued

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing.
