About Maine Lobster
The American lobster, Homarus americanus, is one species of lobster found on the Atlantic coast of North America. Within North America, it is also known as the northern lobster, Atlantic lobster or Maine lobster. It thrives in cold, shallow waters where there are many rocks and other places to hide from predators and is both solitary and nocturnal. It feeds on fish, small crustaceans, and mollusks.
The American lobster is found as far south as North Carolina, and are famously associated with the colder waters around the Canadian Maritimes, Newfoundland and Labrador, Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire,. They commonly range from 20 cm to 60 cm in length and ½ kg to 4 kg in weight, but have been known to reach lengths of well over 1 m and weigh as much as 20 kg or more, making this the heaviest marine crustacean in the world. An average adult is about 230 mm long and weighs 700 to 900 g .
The adult American lobster's main natural predator is the codfish, but other enemies include haddock, flounder, and other lobsters. Overfishing of cod in the early 20th century has allowed the lobster population to grow enormously.
American lobsters are invertebrates belonging to the Arthropoda phylum along with insects, spiders, and other creatures having an exoskeleton in place of a backbone. Lobsters, crabs, shrimps, copepods, and other similar species are divided into the Crustacea subphylum because of their flexible shells, differentiating them from hard and brittle-shelled creatures such as oysters, mussels, and clams. Lobsters are further placed in the order Decapoda because of their ten feet. American lobsters are located in the infraorder Astacidea which contains only marine lobsters and freshwater crayfish. These creatures are distinguished from other lobsters because they bear pincers on their first three pairs of legs, the first being the largest. They are again subdivided into the Nephropidae family, which contains lobsters used mainly for commercial purposes.
American lobsters molt two to three times per year while juvenile, but only once a year or less often when fully mature, which is about four to seven years old. When a lobster nears its next shedding period, it will start to grow a new shell underneath the current one, and the outer shell will become very hard and darken. The line that runs along the back of the lobster's carapace will begin to split, and the two halves of the shell will fall away. Claws and tail will be pulled out from the old outer shell, as the inner shell is very malleable. The old shell is often eaten for calcium recovery and the leftovers are sometimes buried.
