Is a lobster an secondary consumer in the food chain?
The secondary consumers, such as lobsters, feed on the herbivores. The tertiary consumers, in turn, feed on the secondary consumers, and so on.
Which lobster has the softest shell?
I can't think of a specific species, but I think the smaller the crustacean, the thinner the shell, because the carapace is quite heavy to haul around for the animal itself and they tend to save on weight if they can. Also, when they shed/molt, the carapace has to harden for some time, and lobsters and crabs are soft and squishy for hours to days afterwards. This also applies to insects and arachnids, btw. This is why they hide during the hardening period.
As a third point, the abdomen of a hermit crab (which really is a lobster) isn't protected at all, that's why they use mollusc shells, so perhaps they qualify for the softest shell! ^^
Do you have to remove the spine of a Shrimp before cooking?
The 'spine', or more accurately, the 'vein' on the back of the shrimp doesn't have to be removed, at least on the small and medium sizes.
However, the 'intestinal vein' on the backs of the 'large' or 'jumbo' shrimp
(get it...'Jumbo Shrimp"!!?---Ha-Ha!) should be removed, because it sometimes contains a 'grit' that the eater could crunch down on, and, lets face it, I don't know about you, but that would pretty much be the end of my meal!! Yechhhhh!!!
I remove it on all shrimp, mainly because it just looks nasty, so I figure it can't be a good thing! Plus, that term 'intestinal' vein conjurs up thoughts that you don't want when eating shrimp---or anything else!! Bon Apetit'!!! (sp?) Reference: Food Network's food encyclopedia. The "vein" in shrimp is not actually a blood vessel, but instead is the alimentary canal. While not harmful to humans, the idea lacks a certain aesthetic. I'm a big fan of deveining. Removing it before cooking, when the shrimp is more pliable, is a lot easier than after cooking when the shrimp is firmer. more brittle (and the contents of "the vein" have been added to your meal).
The lobsters reproduces sexually with the mating season being summer time. The males will deposit the sperm under the females and the eggs are fertilized.
Lobsters live in water if you go to the ocean you can go under water.
Why do they call Fflorida lobsters bugs?
They call them bugs mostly because they look like bugs. They also don't technically have claws either.
