Calico #Lobster Caught By The F/V Ryan Zachary Today August 16, 2018

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

Message in a bottle retrieved 8/15/18 by our Lobsterman Dave Jewell aboard the F/V Lady J. According to the note it says Flow Test Put Off 8/2/2018 off Spectacle Island, Boston Harbor. If found please contact Donald Cann 64 Union St Rockland MA. 02370. The bottle was retrieved off the Back Shore, Gloucester MA. If you know Donald Cann, let him know. If he included an email address it would have been fun to send him this video. Let’s try to find him online and tag him. I’ll keep the note inside at the dock.
