According to a recent study reported in the Ecology and Evolution journal, the American lobsters may be more vulnerable to the effects of climate change than previously believed. These species support the most precious fishery in North America. Maura Niemisto, a research associate at Bigelow Laboratory in East Boothbay Maine, prepares a lobster sample in the lab.

This latest discovery may allow fishery managers to expect the impacts of a prolonged climate change for one of the country’s most valuable natural resources. ....

This finding could help fishery managers anticipate the long-term effects of climate change for one the nation s most precious natural resources. The American lobster s range extends from Atlantic Canada to the mid-Atlantic waters of the United States, but increased carbon dioxide emissions by humans are warming and acidifying their ocean habitat. ....
A team of researchers from the University of Maine Darling Marine Center in Walpole, Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences in East Boothbay and Maine Department of Marine Resources in West Boothbay Harbor recently published their research on the effects of ocean warming and acidification on gene expression in the earliest life stages of the American lobster. The work was published in the scientific journal Ecology and Evolution with collaborators from the University of Prince Edward Island and Dalhousie University in Canada. Leading the study was recent UMaine graduate student Maura Niemisto, who received her masterâs degree in marine science. Co-authors on the journal article were her advisers Richard Wahle, research professor in UMaineâs School of Marine Sciences and director of the Lobster Institute, and David Fields, senior research scientist at Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences. ....
