We first met with Jim who knew everything there was to know about lobster. Jim allowed us to go on his boat as we were shown what a lobsterman does day in and day out. Jim owned his own company and holding room where they count and ship lobsters from. The tank in this holding room could provide the lobster with a perfect environment, even better than in the ocean. The lobster was separated by pound and value.
On Thursday we went to the wet lab. In the wet lab we were able to see lobsters that were born with different disorders. Most were unique shell pigments but for some three claws and shell disease. We learned that after a lobster molts, it's shell can look totally different when it grows back. Here we see a rare blue lobster which is said to be seen by lobsterman only once a year.
