Answer:
»Re: It's COLD!

Actually, the real reason is this-

A genetic defect causes a blue lobster to produce an excessive amount of protein. The protein wraps around a small, red carotenoid molecule known as as astaxanthin. The two push together, forming a blue complex known as crustacyanin which gives the lobster shell a blue color.

I used to work on lobster boats out of Point Judith Rhode Island. We had caught not only a blue lobster, but an albino one was well. Both were sent off to aquariums.

Beautiful creatures they are.

An albino lobster? Now that would be very different. I've never heard of one, let alone seen one.

Lobster kill
Lobster kill...
California woman caught this pix of me in P-Town. She's a nice lady, but she offered to buy my boat if I brought her back to shore. Deal is, I get a trip to Maine /New Hampshire /Vermont every year... I keep quiet about her gagging on chum and waves, AND I keep quiet in tourist places. (Fill in the blanks)
