Thermal limits to survival, performance, and moulting of American lobster larvae were reviewed. Larvae are stressed or die at temperatures ≥24–36 °C, which will be more frequent in the future. Moulting, growth, hatching, and settlement of larvae may be reduced or stop above 20–24 °C. Previous studies’ results need to be confirmed through more rigorous, new studies. Stressful temperatures to larvae must be known to predict impacts of climate change on lobsters.
