Near enough the southern range, that warming temperatures can have a big impact....

"IMPACTS ON FISHERIES
Clambakes and lobster feasts
are synonymous with summer in
Rhode Island. The state’s lobster
catch totaled more than 1,900
metric tons in 2005, bringing in
$23 million to the state economy.
Global warming is expected to
take a serious toll on this already
declining shellfish population: lobster
stocks in Rhode Island’s nearshore
waters are expected to collapse entirely
as the maximum heat-stress threshold
for lobster is consistently exceeded by
mid-century under either emissions
scenario."
