Describing the right recurrence

I've to describe a recurrence for l_n, the number of lobsters caught in year n

The task says: A hobby fisherman estimates the number of lobsters he will catch in a year as the average of the number he caught in the two previous years

Describe a recurrence for l_n, the number of lobsters caught in year n

I've tried something. It's degree-D homogeneous LRR so the recurrence is: l_n = l_n-1 + l_n-2 as it's for 2 years. Have I solved ít correctly?

It's the average of the two, so you'd want to add them and divide by 2.
