    Evidence of lobster use comprises midden remains, artwork, artefacts, writings about lobsters, and written sources describing the fishing practices of indigenous peoples.
I can't be the only one that loves a massive untouched midden pile.

+1 for your paper.

No it doesn't. It claims overfishing in many areas. Not a decline in lobster.

Seems like I am confused. Are you saying decline due to over fishing is acceptable? Doesn't that contradicts unlimited abundance argument?

Yes, your reply seems a bit disoriented.

Overlobstering is a despicable habit which should be stopped wherever it's happening.

It's just neither driving lobsters status as a luxury good, nor is it significantly affecting the amount of lobster.
