One hundred million cotton candy lobster has one

Biologists say that the color of albino of the lobster in Canada is so rare that the encounter rate is 1 / 100,000,000.

Canadian fisherman Robin Russell caught a unique shell-colored lobster last November, according to National Geographic. The pastel, pink and green coconut shells make the shrimp stand out among other brown and orange individuals.

This lobster is very rare.

Unaware of what to do with cotton candy shrimp nicknamed Lucky, Russell decided to donate it to the Huntsman Marine Science Center in Saint Andrews, New Brunswick. However, Lucky photos on Russell's Instagram account were shared again and continued to cause fever.

Although there is no official statistics, this lobster is very rare. Individuals have similar colors 4 to 5 years to appear once, according to Michael Tlusty, associate professor of sustainable development and food solutions at the University of Massachusetts Boston.

The color of lobster is decided by astaxanthin pigment . This is a biologically important antioxidant. This pigment changes color according to the effect. Lucky is more likely to have low pigment content . Although it has many pastel tones, all are very light. However, Tlusty doesn't know the cause of Lucky's pigmentation shortage. It may be a result of a gene mutation or the lobster depends on a low pigment source.
