How does a lobster adapt to the sea or deep water?
Actually thats a question of the evolution. A fish that lives near by the sea can say "aw, I don't want to stay here, I go to the deep sea". Just because of factors like the sunlight or something like that they coulnd't live there. They adapt during many generation, and adapt slowly to the new circumstances. That's the same with a fish that lives in the deep sea. If you bring him up, and my not survive, because he can't stand for example the pressure. It's actually a question of time and developement.

It is hard for me to imagine why anyone would even attempt to eat something like under or un-cooked lobster or shrimp. The consistency would be like rubber. I don't even know if it's possible to chew into reasonable sizes to swallow...it would have to be cut up into small pieces and swallowed whole like a raw clam or oyster.
