USA: Catching extremely rare colored lobsters, millions of new ones

An individual marshmallow lobster was discovered off the coast of Maine, USA.

Residents Kim Hartley told local news that the lobster was caught by her husband off the coast of Penobscot Bay in Maine waters.

Chance to see this lobster is 1/100 million.

Notably, this is not the first mollusk lobster caught by the Hartley family. Last year, Mr. Hartley got a lobster of the same type, and gave it to an aquarium in Connecticut.

Although the chance of finding a marshmallow lobster is only 1 in 100 million, this rare crustacean seems to be increasingly prolific in coastal waters of the Americas.

The marshmallow lobster caused a stir for the first time after an individual was caught near Canada's Grand Manan Island last summer. This shrimp is special compared to other lobster varieties thanks to the pink-green crust identical to the color of marshmallows.

According to National Geogrphic, the special color of marshmallow lobster is thought to be the result of a genetic mutation or their food ingredients, which mainly depend on the bait of the fisherman, not the initiative. hunt.

However, this is not a happy mutation, this color is very beautiful and outstanding but also makes the shrimp lose camouflage. They will easily become prey to other marine life in the wild.
