As for climate change... I am sure it is effecting things. The ecosystem will change over time to adapt to the rising temps, stripers are no different.

The collapse of lobster in lis preceded the boom of sea bass. The sea bass and all other predatory fish in lis certainly impact the lobster population, but they didn't cause the decline. It is messed up at the ecosystem level.
