Why are there no lobsters in the Pacific Ocean?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are no clawed lobsters in the Pacific Ocean, but spiny lobsters can be found there. As for why there are no clawed lobsters in the Pacific, there is no consensus that I know of on why this is the case. It is almost surely related to the evolutionary history of clawed lobsters. Perhaps clawed lobsters evolved in the northern Atlantic originally, and because they were isolated from the northern Pacific by the North American continent, they were unable to migrate to the north Pacific.

Are lobsters different from scorpions?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, very much so! Lobsters are Crustaceans, whereas scorpions are Arachnids. These are two very different families in the Phylum of Invertebrates. Lobsters thrive in the sea, whereas scorpions thrive in the desert. The two species also look very different from the other, with different diets and different methods of mating and survival.

Do lobsters have internal organs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Unlike us humans with an internal or endoskeleton, the lobster relies upon its outer skin or exoskeleton both for support and for its armor. The internal organs are protected by this hard outer shell, made from chitin, a very tough protein used by other crustaceans and by insects. It is similar to the hard protein keratin in your fingernails and hair. You might also argue that the lobster is mostly protected by its own behavior - avoiding predators by hiding in crags. This is especially important when the lobster moults periodically, since the shell can't grow it has to shed it, then wait for the new shell to harden.

Do lobsters have chromosomes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A Lobster's body cells do have a nucleus and organelles, hence they are classified as Eukaryotes. Lobsters themselves are properly described on the macroscopic not microscopic scale, and as such the Lobster organism itself doesn't possess a single nucleus; again, the term organelles refers to structures with a cell. On a macroscopic scale the lobster is said to possess organs.

What is the colour of blood in lobster?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Lobsters in the wild are generally mottled yellow, green, brown, and almost never red. The reason they turn red during cooking is that other pigmentations are broken down by heat, but the red pigments are not.

How do lobsters stay alive?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Lobster survival strategy involves a good deal of hiding from predators. They accomplish this by locating and occupying crags, hiding below rocks, and burrowing into the sea floor. They also have a highly acute chemical sense and have been shown to react to minute trace of chemicals indicating the presence of predators.

One might also argue they stay alive by blind luck. The vast majority of lobsters die before reaching adulthood; their reproductive strategy involves releasing tens of thousands of eggs. This is necessary since only one in ten thousand is estimated to survive long enough to end up on your dinner plate.

Where does red lobster live?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The lobster you might be used to seeing with the big claws is the american lobster (Homarus americanus), and lives off the east coast of North America, from below Maine up to Newfoundland. They are actually not red in the wild; the red color is a consequence of non-red pigments breaking down during cooking.

Why aren't there any lobster in the pacific ocean?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A cyclone is a large storm. A Hurricane is a Cyclone in Atlantic. Cyclones exist in both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The reason they are called Hurricanes in the Atlantic Oceans is because Hurricane is named after the Central American God of Wind. Typhoon is the name used in the Pacific Ocean. It is the same as a hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean, just called a different name due solely to where it originated.
