1 Clawed Lobsters comprise a family of large marine arthropods. Many Larger Lobsters can weigh in over 5 lbs. smaller varieties are sometimes called “lobsterettes”. Lobsters have a tough exoskeleton, which protects it, and it is an invertebrate organism with a sweet rich meat. Like all arthropods, Lobsters must molt in order to grow, they must shed their skeleton skin and this leaves them vulnerable for attack by various praetors during this molting time period.
2 Lobsters truly define the statement of survival of the fittest from Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. They are one of the true warriors on the ocean floor. Only the biggest and the fittest survive the ocean bottom because it is a fierce world with fierce competition. Of course, many of those that survive the depths of the ocean end up at Oregon Seafood in their live sea tanks. Oregon Seafood then provides them a home on your dinner plates. Lobsters are considered a delicacy around the world.
3 The environmental conditions of the Lobsters can vary from ocean to ocean, but the lobster’s temperature environment does not fluctuate much since their home is large mass of water, the ocean.
4 Like all arthropods, Lobsters are bilaterally symmetrical. The anatomy of the Lobster includes the cephalothoraxes which is the head fused with the thorax, and the abdomen. The Lobster’s head consists of usually two pairs of antennae, eyes, and mouth. Because a Lobster lives at the bottom of the ocean, their vision is poor and instead the Lobster uses its antennas as sensors. They feel their self around the bottom of the sea very well. The abdomen of the Lobster includes its ten legs and swimmerets.
5 They generally thrive in cold, shallow waters where there are lots of coverings and rocks for it to hide from predators. These Lobsters are unique organisms that are curious and solitary. They live a complex life outside of being eaten in which they go exploring during the night, which makes them nocturnal.
6 Lobster’s natural prey is mainly the cod and then there are others such as the haddock, the flounder, and even bigger Lobsters that will eat smaller Lobsters just for a easy food source.
7 These Lobsters are popular food, and commonly boiled or steamed; for either method, they must be alive until they are cooked. They can survive out of water for a number of hours if kept in the refrigerator. Oregon Seafood has live sea tank where you can go in and pick out the Lobster of your choice. The kids love hanging around the tanks and poking fun at all the live Lobsters and Crabs.
