Amazing Facts about Lobster

Lobsters are crustaceans from the family Nephropidae. They are most closely related to crabs, shrimp and barnacles. They have segmented bodies, hard exoskeletons and paired jointed limbs. Below you’ll find amazing facts about Lobster.
* Lobsters can live to be 100 years old or older, if fishermen leave them alone.
* Lobsters cannot live in fresh water.
*There are records of full-grown lobsters measuring three feet and weighing over 40 pounds.
* Out of 1,000 lobster eggs, only one live to grow and mature—that is a 0.1% chance!
* There are severe restrictions and penalties on the harvesting of American Lobsters. Among the strongest advocates of these rules are the lobstermen themselves.
* In the early 1800s lobsters were so plentifulthey were simply gathered from the shoreline by hand.
* As lobsters grow, they molt (shell-shed) several times to form a new shell fitting the growing body size. Each molting process takes 2-4 weeks.
* The commercial fishing of the Maine Lobster is a $1.8 billion industry.
* Lobsters have poor eyesight, but a fantastic sense of smell.
* Ever hear of a “lobster march?” Fishermen anddivers have reported seeing hundreds, sometimes thousands, of spiny lobsters form into columns and migrate en masse. This practice often happens after a storm. The lobsters could be seeking a better food supply or warmer water. Scientists don’t know.

Description
Lobsters are invertebrates with a hard protective exoskeleton. Like most arthropods, lobsters must molt in order togrow, which leaves them vulnerable. During the molting process, several species change color. Lobsters have 10 walking legs; the front three pairs bear claws, the first of which are larger than the others.[4] Although, like most other arthropods, lobsters are largelybilaterally symmetrical, they often possess unequal, specialized claws, like the king crab.
Lobster anatomy includes the cephalothoraxwhich fuses the head and the thorax, both of which are covered by a chitinous carapace, and the abdomen. The lobster's head bears antennae, antennules, mandibles, the first and second maxillae, and the first, second, and third maxillipeds. Because lobsters live in a murky environment at the bottom of the ocean, they mostly use their antennae as sensors. The lobster eye has a reflective structure...
