The average temperature of the lobster-rich waters off the coast of Foerkland has been increasing for some years  In warmer water, lobsters grow faster  In particular, lobster larvae take less time to reach the size at which they are no longer vulnerable to predation by young cod, the chief threat to their survival
Consequently, the survival rate of lobster larvae must be going up, and the lobster population in Foerkland' s coastal waters is bound to increase
Because of their speeded-up growth, lobsters now get large enough to be legal catch before they reach reproductive maturity.
