Lobsters are not fish. Fish are part of the phylum Chordata, along with other backboned animals (amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals), and lobsters are arthropods (phylum Arthropoda :P), having no backbone and being completely unrelated (very much related to insects in fact). Lobsters have ten jointed legs and a hard carapace.

Isopods are crustaceans, as are lobsters. Crustaceans are a class in the phylum Arthropoda. Fish, however, are a class in the phylum Chordata, or vertebrates. So, not related to isopods, or lobsters. ^^


What are the top five most photographed animals on earth?

Some say that the most photographed animal on earth is the cat. This would make sense because they have many different pelt types, patters, and breeds. The second would most likely be dogs for the same reason. The variety makes each one unique and that makes them great subjects for photography. As for the other three, I could only guess with fish/marine life, horses, and other domesticated animals.

Is a lobster a commensalism mutualism or parasitim?

The commensalistic, mutualistic, or parasitic role implies a relationship with another organism, so that other organism might need to be specified. However, it can be said that lobsters primarily fill the predatory role with other sea organisms, since they predate upon shellfish, sea urchins, fish, etc. However, they are also eaten by other organisms, for example fish large enough to dig them out and crack their shells. In addition, humans highly prize them for their meat and harvest them. The predatory/prey relationship is usually referred to as exploitation, in that the predator benefits and the prey is killed. As such, none of the ecological roles commensalism, mutualism, or parasitism apply.
