Maine Lobsterman Catches Rare Blue Lobster
August 25, 2014 Associated Press SCARBOROUGH, Maine (AP) — A Maine lobsterman says one of his traps caught a one-in-two-million crustacean: a blue lobster. WCSH-TV reports Jay LaPlante, of the Miss Meghan Lobster Catch Company, caught the curious creature in Scarborough around 10:45 a.m., Saturday. LaPlante and daughter, Meghan, were hauling traps when she discovered the bright blue critter. The story has a happy ending for the lobster. Meghan says she is naming it Skyler and donating it to the Maine State Aquarium, far from any dinner rolls or pats of butter. The aquarium says it has three other blue lobsters and an orange one. LaPlante says it's the first time he has caught a blue lobster. This August 23, 2014, photo provided by Meghan LaPlante shows a blue lobster caught by her father, Jay LaPlante, off Pine Point in Scarborough, Maine Saturday. The crustacean is being donated to the Maine State Aquarium. Too pretty to eat!   ·  ·  · |

Re: Maine Lobsterman Catches Rare Blue Lobster
This is true, but, I'd bet someone else may have eaten it just to say he or she did.

Re: Maine Lobsterman Catches Rare Blue Lobster
They let this one live but killed all the other ones because they had different skin colour? That's pretty racist.

Re: Maine Lobsterman Catches Rare Blue Lobster
But wouldn't the blue coloration be an impediment to survival? It'd make the lobster stand out in its environment, much like an albino or orange lobster. Captivity might be a happy ending after all.  |
