Strange thought on bass situation

A couple of days ago I was listing to the radio. In the story on NPR They reported that a recent scientific paper laid some of the problem with cod on the George's bank to global warming. And then they said that the north Atlantic had had the highest warming of any other sea in the world. And then it hit me like a ton of bricks. Is this what's happening to the stripers? Is it possible that larger bass like cooler water and are now staying further off shore? I think about my own experiences. Twenty years ago I used to see baby lobsters in tidal pools as I waded out to fish rock piles. I haven't seen them in twenty years. In my town there used to many lobstermen working in shore traps now nearly all are off shore. Rising temps? In Narragansett bay URI finds that the bay is devoid of lobsters because of rising water temp of the bay. Every year we get more and more tropical fish that we have never seen before cobia trigger fish etc. Look at this year, we had a ton of albies and bonito more than ever. I wonder what effect rising sea temps have on stripers. Don't get me wrong we humans Commercials and recreational are killing too many bass. and pollution in spawning areas and disease are adding to bass problems but I wonder what role global warming is having on striped bass. Wondering what you guys think.
