Bayer Comments in AccuWeather Web Lobster Story
An AccuWeather.com website article about the early onset and glut of soft-shell lobsters in Maine waters included comments from Robert Bayer, director of the UMaine Lobster Institute. Bayer said unseasonably warm ocean temperatures in May probably accelerated the lobster shell-shedding schedule, which has increased the supply of lobsters, but not the demand. As a result, prices are low.
