China’s increasing appetite for lobster has meant big business for fishermen in the US state of Maine. Demand for the tasty crustacean has been exploding in the past several years. Its red color and resemblance to a dragon has made Maine lobster an auspicious meal for diners in China during the Lunar New Year. China now accounts for roughly 12 percent of US lobster exports. While Maine’s lobstermen are experiencing record catches, in other states, south of Maine, lobster populations are dwindling.

Not now they are buying Canadian they have put tariffs on US lobsters. Also Canada has made a trade deal with the EU so Canadian lobster is less expensive there as well.

Be careful and do not sign any long term binding contracts. Before you know it they own you, the company and our prized lobster fishery over time.

Actually a big impact are all of the insecticide run-off. Too many southern New Englanders wanting perfect gardens. Lobsters are just insects genetically

They're crustaceans, not insects.

Lol there was a time in Canada when Lobster was considered to be a garbage catch. If you brought lobster to school you were the poor person. Now your a baller! Haha how times have changed.

Lobsters move with the water temps. Offshore to deeper colder waters and closer inshore to more shallow waters depending on the water temperatures and condition.
