Probably. Anyway, the book's got a number of concurrent themes going on all
at once:
-The anatomy & behavior of lobsters
-The methods of the lobstermen
-How life revolves around the seasonality of the job
-Issue surrounding overfishing, which turn out to be not so true because
government scientists never really bothered to actually go out on lobster
boats and see that lobstermen were already practicing near-perfect
conservation measures, based on the habits of several generations of people
who simply saw the obvious: No more lobsters, no more jobs.
