Here's my alternative hypothesis, let me know if you've thought of it already.
*Lobsters in Big Fishermans' Cove and other preserves/MPA's are willing to eat Aplysia presented to them by scientists because they frequently encounter divers and are unafraid of human contact. These divers often present the lobsters with a snack or food item, hence the lobsters are conditioned to eating what the divers present to them, and therefore attack the Aplysia readily.
