Lobsters usually mate when the female has just molted. Mating occurs within 24 hours of molting and often within 30 minutes (Talbot and Helluy, 1995). During mating the male deposits a spermatophore, or packet of sperm) into the seminal receptacle of the female. The female must fertilize and extrude her eggs before molting again, or else the sperm is lost when she molts.

Melt some chocolate by puting a container with the chocolate in a pan of boiling water, stir the chocolate when it is getting hot. Some experimentation regarding what chocolate to use is in place. I used chocolate chips of from Girardelli. One should probably aim for dark and not too sweet chocolate. Pour the chocolate over the beans and smear it so that each bean is covered - you should have a single layer of covered beans not too far apart. Place the beans in a pan (no teflon) and roast them.

Lobsters seem to be able to see images and detect movement, and may actually have color vision. Because of the darkness at the depths where they live, lobsters rely more on chemoreception and touch than vision. Chemoreception involves detecting chemicals in the water such as odors from food. The sense of touch involves hair-like projections over the surface of the lobster that help to detect changes in water currents, and therefore movements around them. See similar questions...

Squirrels mate in the late Winter or very early Spring. This time may vary with location, and the weather conditions. The best time to see a squirrel's acrobatic skill is, during the "mating chase". Index See similar questions...

Adult lobsters do not swim. They crawl by using their walking legs and by contracting and retracting their tail. However, lobster larvae that have not settled to the bottom yet float through the ocean with the water current. As they grow older they swim with the use of their swimmerets and walking legs. Once they reach the bottom they remain there for good. See similar questions...

Most of Water Prince Corner Shop and Lobster Pound’s catch comes from the cold waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Northumberland Strait. Lobsters mainly live in shallow water, and as they grow, they move toward the deeper water. We catch the majority of our lobsters within a few miles of shore and most come from the shores immediately surrounding Prince Edward Island, Canada. See similar questions...

Tag and recapture studies have shown that lobsters tagged offshore in the winter and spring have been recaptured inshore in the summer and fall and vice versa (Cooper & Uzmann, 1971, 1980; Fogarty et al., 1980; Campbell et al., 1984; Aiken & Waddy, 1986; Pezzack & Duggan, 1986). Cooper (1977a) estimated that 20-50% of offshore lobsters are migratory. This suggests a pattern of seasonal migration where lobsters move offshore in the winter and spring and inshore in the summer and fall. See similar questions...

Lobsters are omnivores and their diet varies depending on the availability of different kinds of food. They usually feed on a combination of crabs, molluscs, polychaetes, sea urhcins, and sea stars (Ennis, 1973; Carter and Steele 1982a, 1982b; Weiss, 1970) as well as live fish and macroalgae. They also are known to be cannabilistic. However, in areas with a large number of lobster traps bait fish, primarily herring and mackerel, comprise a large portion of their diet.

The lobster.com.au lobsters come from the cold pristine waters of the Southern Ocean. They are caught wild by professional lobster fishermen, many of whom are second and third generation. The Australian Lobster fishery is well managed and produces some of the best lobster in the world. We like to think it is The best lobster in the world. See similar questions...

Grasp a lobster by placing your thumb on one side of the body and fingers on the other side above the walking legs. When you pick it up, it may flip its tail and wave its claws and legs. That's a good sign. A frisky lobster is a healthy lobster. Do not pick them up by the tail or claws. See similar questions...

Fishermen don't only band lobsters to protect humans from being pinched, but also to prevent one lobsters from pinching another. See similar questions...

Yes, a clear or white blood with a slight bluish tint is pumped through the body of the lobster by the heart. The blue tint is caused by copper, which is used as the oxygen carrier in the blood. Human's red colored blood is due to iron being the oxygen carrier. When claws, legs, or antennas of lobster are ripped off, or the shell is cracked or punctured, the lobster can be weakened and even die from the loss of blood. See similar questions...

The largest lobster ever recorded weighed in at 44 lb. 6 oz. and measured 3 ft. 6 in. from the end of the tail to the tip of the largest claw. It was caught off southern Nova Scotia in 1977 and sold to a restaurant in New York City. In the Pliocene period, over a million years ago, lobsters were five to six feet long! These days a 3 or 4 pound lobster is considered a good sized feast! See similar questions...

Blue lobsters are rare, as the pigments in their shells are genetic defects. Most lobsters are greenish-brown in color, but we've seen blue, bright red (almost the same color as cooked) and even part-white lobsters. See similar questions...

Like all arthropods, the nervous system of a lobster is very primitive, and contains far fewer nerve cells than our nervous systems. The nerve cells are grouped in clusters called ganglia. Further, a lobster has no cerebral cortex, the area of the human brain that gives the perception of pain. See similar questions...
