"It was a very interesting experience," Todd said. "I have never seen a white shrimp. This one is transparent, I see the green inside it." Even according to Todd, his family had once caught such a child, and had released it a few weeks earlier.

If indeed in Vietnam, perhaps Todd should reward himself with a few Vietlott lottery tickets, because he and his family were too lucky. According to oceanographers, the last color in lobster must be called extremely rare!

Common lobsters have a blend of colors from yellow, green, and red proteins. In some cases, mutations can make their colors different. It is estimated that only 1 million lobsters have 1 pigment enough to show blue - extract from the Lobster Institute of the University of Maine. The ratio of yellow lobster dropped to . 1:30 million, two-color lobster (half brown, half orange) is 1:50 million.

This is also the only shrimp that does not turn orange when you put it in the pot.

As for this transparent shrimp, the ratio is 1: 100 million - the rarest of all colors. This is also the only shrimp that does not turn orange when you put it in the pot!

According to experts from the Maine Marine Institute, this phenomenon of shrimp is called leucism. It is different from albinism in that it only loses part of the pigment, not the whole. That's why Todd still sees some green inside the shrimp shell and shrimp eyes.

In general, albino or vitiligo individuals are also rare in nature. They are always outstanding prey in the eyes of the enemy, and their health is not equal to the others, so they often die early.

Albino lobster - pigment is consumed completely.

Currently, we still do not know what the fate of this super rare shrimp is. Only knowing that Todd had dropped it into the sea, after realizing that this was a female prawn, there was still a nest of eggs in the stomach that could not be born yet.
