“…As this study found that SST and salinity have a strong correlation, they play an important role in modeling lobster harvest areas. This fact correlates favorably with studies by Mahima et al [11], Pradhan et al [13], and Zhao et al [12] and also further supports the effect of climate change on marine food chains. Moreover, SST and salinity were found to be important in the modeling harvest potential for other marine resources as well, such as tuna [58] and pelagic fish [59].…”

“…Lobster habitats are dependent on chemical aspects of the coastal environment and are spatially distributed along the coastline. The biology of lobsters is influenced by oceanographic conditions, including chlorophyll-a [7,8], TSSs (total suspended solids) [9,10], temperature [11][12][13], substrate [14,15], salinity [16], and other environmental variables [17,18]. It is time-consuming and expensive to conduct observations of oceanographic conditions using conventional methods over a wide area; therefore, remote sensing on a large scale is more cost-effective than field surveys for the periodic collection of large-scale habitat data [19].…”

Palabuhanratu Bay is a location in the southern part of Java Island with a high lobster population. Based on field observation, the lobster population in Palabuhanratu Bay is dominated by Panulirus homarus (green sand lobster), Panulirus versicolor (bamboo lobster), Panulirus penicillatus (black lobster), and Panulirus ornatus (pearl lobster). This study aimed to develop a spatial model using satellite-derived data to predict potential lobster harvest grounds in Palabuhanratu Bay. The Earth observational satellite data used were multispectral Landsat 8-SR imagery, and information about chlorophyll-a, salinity, total suspended solids (TSSs), sea surface temperature (SST), and distance from the coastline was extracted. Multiple linear regression was applied to build the prediction model, which was validated using 10-fold cross-validation. The result of the lobster harvest prediction model agreed with the root-mean-square error (RMSE) and adjusted R2 values of 0.326 and 0.708, respectively. The distribution of lobsters was strong at the following preferred ranges: chlorophyll-a: 1.1-1.7 mg/m3; salinity: 20.2-23.7 ppt; TSS: 40-56.4 mg/L; SST: 29.5-29.9 °C; and distance from the coastline: 500-4700 m. In this study, the habitats of four species of lobsters and their relationships with satellite-derived parameters were evaluated.

“…Although American lobsters have been observed in waters as deep as 800 m, the majority of landings occur from waters shallower than 80 m in the GOM (Tanaka and Chen, 2016;Oppenheim et al, 2019). Warming effects in lobsters have been studied extensively (e.g., Rheuban et al, 2017;Jaini et al, 2018;Boavida-Portugal et al, 2018). In Table S1, we included recent studies examining the effects of OA alone or both OA and warming in different life stages, often at experimental CO 2 levels higher than projected for 2050.…”

Ocean acidification (OA) is increasing predictably in the global ocean as rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide lead to higher oceanic concentrations of inorganic carbon. The Gulf of Maine (GOM) is a seasonally varying region of confluence for many processes that further affect the carbonate system including freshwater influences and high productivity, particularly near the coast where local processes impart a strong influence. Two main regions within the GOM currently experience carbonate conditions that are suboptimal for many organisms—the nearshore and subsurface deep shelf. OA trends over the past 15 years have been masked in the GOM by recent warming and changes to the regional circulation that locally supply more Gulf Stream waters. The region is home to many commercially important shellfish that are vulnerable to OA conditions, as well as to the human populations whose dependence on shellfish species in the fishery has continued to increase over the past decade. Through a review of the sensitivity of the regional marine ecosystem inhabitants, we identified a critical threshold of 1.5 for the aragonite saturation state (Ωa). A combination of regional high-resolution simulations that include coastal processes were used to project OA conditions for the GOM into 2050. By 2050, the Ωa declines everywhere in the GOM with most pronounced impacts near the coast, in subsurface waters, and associated with freshening. Under the RCP 8.5 projected climate scenario, the entire GOM will experience conditions below the critical Ωa threshold of 1.5 for most of the year by 2050. Despite these declines, the projected warming in the GOM imparts a partial compensatory effect to Ωa by elevating saturation states considerably above what would result from acidification alone and preserving some important fisheries locations, including much of Georges Bank, above the critical threshold.

“…The northern shrimp (Pandalus borealis) supported a robust fishery in the Gulf of Maine at the 1 Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, Boothbay, ME, USA 2 Maine Department of Marine Resources, Augusta, ME, USA southern end of its range but quickly declined beyond the point of supporting a fishery during the period of change (Eckert et al, 2017). Similarly, studies examining shifting ranges for lobster (Homarus americanus; Jaini et al, 2018;Goode et al, 2019), cod (Gadus morhua; Pershing et al, 2015), scallops (Placopecten magellanicus; Torre et al, 2019), and likely green crabs (Carcinus maenas; Neckles, 2015) support the climate envelope paradigm. Some species range shifts are more nuanced, showing some aspect of a climate envelope shift overlaid with other important drivers such as subsurface currents and dispersal dynamics, as seen in kelp communities (Witman and Lamb, 2018), the keystone copepod Calanus finmarchicus (Ji et al, 2017), and right whales (Eubalaena glacialis; Record et al, 2019).…”

Ocean ecosystems are changing, and the climate envelope paradigm predicts a steady shift, approximately poleward, of species ranges. The Gulf of Maine presents a test case of this paradigm, as temperatures have warmed extremely rapidly. Some species have shifted northeastward, matching predictions. Others—namely harmful algal species like Pseudo-nitzschia australis and Karenia mikimotoi—do not appear to have followed climate trajectories, arriving as surprises in the Gulf of Maine. Rare-biosphere dynamics offer one possible ecological lens for understanding and predicting this type of surprise. Rare species in the plankton, possibly more so than southerly ones, may provide management challenges in the future. Improved monitoring and broader coordination of monitoring of the rare biosphere could help develop early warning systems for harmful and toxic algae. A better theoretical understanding of rare biosphere dynamics is also needed. A challenge for the next cohort of ecosystem projections is to predict the newly emerging harmful species of the type that catch us by surprise.
