From Maine Science Today-
So when you’re looking at a lobster, you’re looking through one layer of yellow pigment, one layer of blue pigment, and one layer of red pigment, which looks like a solid layer of muddy reddish-brown.
So what happened to make this particular lobster blue? In a lab you can make a lobster blue by not feeding it astaxanthin, in the wild it different colors are cause by genetic mutations. Lobsters can be blue, red (while still alive), yellow, and even split-colored. The chances of seeing some of these colors are very slim.
But it doesn’t matter what color it is when it’s alive — it will still turn bright red when cooked.
Here are the odds of catching a different colored lobster:
- Blue: 1 in 2 million
- Red (live): 1 in 10 million
- Yellow: 1 in 30 million
- Orange and Black Calico: 1 in 30 million
- Split-colored: 1 in 50 million
- White/Crystal/Albino: 1 in 100 million
