Alternative model parameter settings and their effects on abundance, maximum catch potential, and body size for the American lobster, Homarus americanus. While exploring change for each parameter, other parameters were held constant, such that: earth system model = GFDL; climate change scenario = RCP 8.5; OA effect size = 15%; OA effects on life stage = all; fishing pressure = MSY; fishing size limit = none. Dashed lines are the relative value in 2010, while coloured lines are temporal trends in the first three columns, and a snapshot of the population’s body size distribution in year 2095 in the far-right column. Values are relative to 2010 and are smoothed with 10-year running means.
