- defrost 3y agoEvidence of lobster use comprises midden remains, artwork, artefacts, writings about lobsters, and written sources describing the fishing practices of indigenous peoples. I can't be the only one that loves a massive untouched midden pile. +1 for your paper.
- zosima 3y agoNo it doesn't. It claims overfishing in many areas. Not a decline in lobster.
- sudhirc 3y agoSeems like I am confused. Are you saying decline due to over fishing is acceptable? Doesn't that contradicts unlimited abundance argument?
- zosima 3y agoYes, your reply seems a bit disoriented. Overlobstering is a despicable habit which should be stopped wherever it's happening. It's just neither driving lobsters status as a luxury good, nor is it significantly affecting the amount of lobster.
