Thumbs up Lobsters - Albinos and Partials

EVERYONE:

Was watching Animal Planet last night and they did a small clip on lobsters. What little they showed got me thinking look it up on the net.

The main reason I looked it up was the discoveries of Albino or patial Albino Lobsters.

Below are links with amazing photos.

I have been working with lobsters for the past year. I haven't seen any real cool ones, but I did see one like number 6, but instead of the orange it was bright yellow. That half/half one in the cbc.ca pics was also half male and half female.

Clint, that's what I was going to ask. Colour aside though they all look really tasty. I'm going to go drink some clarified butter...

Blue ones & white ones have been available in the pet trade for quite a few years already (blues commonly, whites still really rare & pricey, haven't seen a white one in years actually). I have a friend that used to breed some. Have a small blue one here now (might be a crayfish though?) They make cool pets anyhow, Mark

Did you know that the blue lobsters are rare in the wild because they are so easy for predators to spot?

I love seeing programs that show lobsters migrating...it's sooo cool how they all walk in a line and then the last dude sort of swims backwards to protect the rear.

I have to agree too---they are YUMMY dipped in butter.

Yeah what actually defines Lobster & Crayfish? I know certain ones are Lobsters when I see them, but others I don't know if they are CF or Lobs. I've been told the ones with the "hair like" stuff on their claws are the Lobs for sure & the others most at the stores are just guessing? Irreguardless they are cool anyhow, Mark
P.S. I'm lucky here in Calgary, lots of various petstores, lots of availabilty of weird stuff
P.P.S. maybe one of the East coast folks can tell us the diff between the 2 for sure?

Crayfish......as Kelvin Stated, have less meat, lol. They are/stay WAY smaller, like.....most max out at I think 6" or something.

Some of those look died practically.

Well, my DH hates crayfish but likes lobster actually took him a while to eat lobster too. They used to catch crayfish when they lived in BC and were low on food.
