Disease affects New England Lobsters
Lobster, an important crustaceous member of inshore rocky bottom ecosystems in southern New England and a favorite sweet-meated-treat of many New Englanders, has shown a decline in abundance corresponding with an increase in enzootic shell disease (ESD) since the early 1990s. Castro et al. reviewed fifteen years of research on ESD in Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay to better understand what this means for fishery sustainability. Understanding the prevalence of ESD in lobster populations can improve policies implemented for lobster fisheries to maximize the catchable yield and sustain a fishable population in southern New England.
