The Halloween lobster: The New England Aquarium said it’s a 1-pound female lobster with a rare coloration known as a split.
Marine officials say such coloration is estimated to occur once in every 50 million lobsters. The Boston Globe reported that scientists believe the condition results in the lobster’s early cellular development. The fisherman who caught the seasonally colored crustacean in a trap last week is from Beverly, a seaside community 20 miles northeast of Boston.

Your Say

I’ve heard that the “split” lobsters have a tendency to incisively bother the other lobsters by trying to take their food and redistribute it to the lazy lobsters.
