No, Alaska's season is entirely separate from Maine, they're not related. But it IS a warning sign of what might happen to the lobster industry if the Gulf of Maine continues to warm.

Kinda, lobsters are fine with warmer waters while snow crabs are not, so Alaska might have just had it's fishing population up and migrate north for colder water. Warm waters are still bad for lobster cause parasites plus we still got that fucking right whale thing going on.

I'm willing to bet a lack of Alaskan crab is gonna drive up demand for Maine Lobster in some cases
