Is it legal to serve a pregnant lobster in a restaurant?
There are no laws against it.
Probably the main reason for this is that lobsters don't get pregnant.
How many predators do lobsters have?
Humans, that's basically it. Anything else that would swallow a lobster would not come that close to shore.

How far does a lobster migrate?
Mollusks do indeed migrate. It is a time consuming struggle. Every November 17th, mollusks sprout legs and they start to crawl to the Baltic Sea. This Sea is over 300,000,000 miles away and many mollusks die along the way. There are many predators against mollusks.
For example, razor clams have to avoid predators like the clown fish. The mucous on the clown fishes' skin is magnetic, and there is a certain particle that has not a positive, not a negative, not a neutral charge but an optimus charge that is embedded in the razor clam's shell which pulls it towards the clown fish. Sadly, when the clam comes in contact with the clown fish, it is absorbed into the clown fishes skin.
That's why the razor clam is close to extinction. Marine Biologists have been trying to set up a tube called the "Tubman Tube" that leads the mollusks to the Baltic Sea. The tube travels along the ocean floor and all mollusks enter it. A current pushes them to safety. This idea has only recently been created and is still in progress. The process has not been affective yet and has actually wiped out half of the mollusk population because they get trapped in the tube. However, the biologists have high hopes for the future.
How are the exchange surfaces in the lobster kept moist?
The exchange surfaces in lobsters, primarily found in their gills, are kept moist through the constant flow of water over them. As lobsters swim or move through water, they actively pump water over their gills, facilitating gas exchange. Additionally, the gills are lined with a thin layer of mucus that helps maintain moisture and enhances the efficiency of respiration. This combination allows for effective oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide release in their aquatic environment.
What kind of coelom do crayfish have?
The kid of coelom crayfish have are a cephalothorax and the abdomen. Crayfish are crustaceans which live in freshwater and closely resemble lobsters.
Can lobster fishermen harvest female lobsters?
Yes and No
It all depends on where you are (season/ district).
In certain areas, such as in Nova Scotia: Female lobsters can be harvested if they do not have any eggs on them (under the tail) OR are not V notched.
A V notch is a notch made on the back tail flipper, with a special plier type tool. If a V notched lobster is caught..it cannot be brought to market, legally. Usually all female lobsters that are caught and have eggs: are V notched to identify them as active reproducers once the eggs are released.
SO..the only female lobsters that make it to market: are active reproducing females that have not been V Notched while carrying eggs and have since dropped their eggs. I am not sure; but I think non reproducing female lobsters are too small (undersized) to legally be caught.
the roly polly that is in the ground drinks your blood so not many live because they cant find blood

1920- What was cost of Lobster per pound?
I am not sure of the answer but it may help to know that prisoners, many years ago were fed lobster because the lobster was not valued as it is today.
the country, as a rule, does not eat lobster - in as much as a country cannot eat (although I hear that they can consume) but people in the UK do indeed eat lobster and many other forms of marine life.
I suppose you could call the crayfish the cousin of the lobster. Crayfish certainly look like lobsters. But they are fresh water animals and lobsters are salt water creatures.
Pain perception can be conceptualized in 2 ways. First, you have pain perception at the punitive level, or the capacity to react to noxious stimuli - this ispreciselywhat earth worms have. The brains of earth worms have not evolved to the point where they have the higher braincentresrequired for encoding painful stimuli. On the other hand, there is pain perception at the cognitive level. Here, the organism which is exposed to trauma or noxious stimuli indeed have the appropriate functioning structures required for encoding and processing painful stimuli.
Where do lobsters live in the ocean zones?
Adult lobsters live from the shoreline to beyond the continental shelf. Lobster eggs and larvae have a planktonic phase usually near the surface, for up to about 10 weeks, are subject to irregularities of ocean currents and can get carried beyond this zones. Lobsters also evidence the phenomenon of long distance migration which they accomplish in single-file formation; in these cases they still remain fairly close to the shore. In winter times the females may prefer deeper waters for warmth because of reproductive considerations.
What is the proper way to eat a full lobster?
* Most people start by breaking off the legs. Holding the lobster by the back, gently pull off the legs with a twisting motion. Don't throw these away: there are plenty of delicious morsels inside! * Next, take off the claws, which are also called chelipeds. Tear them off at the first joint, again with a gentle twisting motion, and note that the crusher claw usually is bigger than the tearing claw. Gently remove the loose part of the claw. Again, check for meaty parts of the lobster. * Using a nutcracker, break off the tip of the large section of claw, revealing the meat. With your forefinger, push the meat from the tip of the claw out the larger open end. The mouth parts, antennae, beak, all of which are inedible. * Grasp the tail portion with one hand, and the back with the other hand. Twist to separate the two sections. After that, turn to end of the tail which has small flippers at the base. These provides chunks of meat. The best part of the lobster is the tail meat. Then insert your fingers into the telson end to push the tail meat out intact through the larger opening. Peel off the top of the tail to reveal the digestive tract, which should be removed before eating the rest of the tail meat. Diners find smaller pieces of the lobster meant at the hard shell or body of the lobster. They may also encounter the gills, the circulation system, and green digestive gland and in a female lobster, red "coral" or "roe" (the unfertilized eggs). Hard-core lobster lovers eat the latter two. == ==
