The interesting question is how you figure out those curves in a decent amount of time and cost. When you pull a lobster out of a wild population, how do you determine how old it is? Lobsters live way too long to take the sit and wait approach with a lab population, and to date there's no reliable way to determine lobster age. So that's still a real challenge, not least because there isn't all that much interest in lobster aging.
