The Lobster Conservatory includes information on the biology and conservation of lobsters. The majority can be applied to crayfish due to common ancestry and homology. Neural and tail anatomy provides an idea of the organization of the segmental ganglia in the tail of the crayfish. The second diagram on the page is a transverse section through ...
The inefficiency of the trapping system has inadvertently prevented the lobster population from being overfished. Lobsters can easily escape the trap, and will defend the trap against other lobsters because it is a source of food. An estimated 10% of lobsters that encounter a trap enter, and of those that enter 6% will be caught. [66]
Mate attraction: Male elephant fish often do not leave their territory and nest, so they use acoustic signals to attract females from a distance.

Caught lobsters are graded as new-shell, hard-shell, or old-shell.

The video, which shows the marine mammals skimming over the water and bursting out of the water high into the air, has already been viewed more than 8 million times.
Female California spiny lobsters reach sexual maturity at a length of 65–69 millimeters (2.6–2.7 in), which is typically at an age of 5–9 years; males are sexually mature after 3–6 years. [5] Because all the hard parts are lost at each molt, the life span of mature spiny lobsters is uncertain; [5] they are thought to live for 50 years ...
