		Lobsters use scents to communicate who and where they are, and those scents are in the urine as in dogs.
		Because lobsters molt, it is extremely difficult to determine a lobster's age.
		Lobsters have a greenish or brownish organ called the tomalley that performs the functions of the liver and pancreas in a human, i.e.

	Lobster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lobsters are an economically important type of seafood, the basis of a global industry that nets $1.8 billion in trade annually.

		Lobster traps have escape vents to allow sub-legal size lobsters to exit the trap while it is still on the bottom (they can come in, eat, then leave).
		The fact that the lobster is capable of limb loss and regeneration is indicative of a very primitive central nervous system and their differential sensitivity to pain compared to humans or other types of animals (they can "drop" a claw and go off like nothing happened.
		Lobsters "smell" their food by using the four small antennae on the front of their heads and tiny sensing hairs that cover their bodies.

		Described by seafood gourmets as one of the choicest lobsters in the world, the American lobster resides in North America from Labrador to Delaware and is most prevalent in eastern Maine and the Canadian provinces.
		Baited with fish and shellfish, lobsters are taken in wooden crate-like traps or pots sunk to the ocean floor and marked with a buoy.
		Lobsters are able to regenerate some of their body parts when lost or damaged; a new part can be replaced in three molts.

	The American Lobster
		Cannibalism—especially the eating of soft, helpless lobsters that have just molted (shed their old shells)—is common among lobsters kept in the crowded conditions of an aquarium, but appears to be uncommon in nature.
		The major pigment in a lobster's shell, astaxanthin, is actually bright red in its free state; but in the lobster's shell astaxanthin is chemically bound to proteins that change it to a greenish or bluish color.

		Lobsters normally eat the old exoskeleton (the mouth parts are the first portion of the exoskeleton to reharden).
		Lobsters are highly nocturnal, hunting at night and spending most of daylight hours in burrows, caves or rock crevices.

	American Lobster Fishery Regulations
		Lobster day-at-sea with respect to the American lobster fishery means each 24-hour period of time during which a fishing vessel is absent from port in which the vessel intends to fish for, possess, or land, or fishes for, possesses, or lands American lobster.
		An American lobster with an intact and measurable body that is missing one or both claws, i.e., a cull lobster, is considered to be a whole American lobster.
		A preponderance of all submitted evidence that such American lobsters were harvested by a vessel not holding a permit under this part and fishing exclusively within state or foreign waters will be sufficient to rebut the presumption.

	American Lobster (Maine and Canada)
		Lobsters may live to 100 years old, but estimates are difficult because as lobsters molt, they leave behind the material that would be used for age determination (ASMFC 2000).
		American Lobsters are classified as growth overfished in the U.S. (ASMFC 2002a) and recruitment overfished in Canada (DFO 1998b).
		Even though there are more female lobsters in the larger size classes as a result of the prohibiton on catching female lobsters, some lobster scientists state that this sex ratio is not necessarily a problem as long as there is no limitation on available sperm.

	American lobster: Setting research agenda
		Lobster research priorities are driven by the tension between the federal/ASMFC determination that the lobster fishery is overfished and the increase in abundance and landings in the last 20 years.
		The lobster stock assessment is the focal point of all of the disagreement about lobster population dynamics.
		Two issues that were not part of the planned discussion but were given high priority by the participants included lobster health and disease issues; and research into the hypothesis that lobsters are being "farmed," fed by the high number of baited traps on the bottom.

	Northeast American Lobster Stocks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Over 85 percent of the lobsters landed in 1993 were caught in individual states' territorial waters with the remainder being taken from the Exclusive Economic Zone of the United States.
		In 1993, 97 percent of the lobsters landed were caught in traditional lobster pots or traps; the remaining 3 percent were caught by trawls or in fisheries directed toward other species.
		The goal of the review is to provide managers of American lobster and scientists conducting research on American lobster with a set of testable hypotheses that could resolve some of the fundamental questions concerning productivity and recruitment of the species.

	Stalking the American Lobster
		Many of the leading scientists who track the North American lobster population do so mainly on computer screens in government laboratories, and from that vantage point lobsters appear to be in danger.
		The situation recalls the recent history of the cod fishery in New England, in which an exponential rise in the catch was followed by a devastating biological and economic collapse.
		In 1996, as lobster catches continued to hit all-time highs, a committee of the country's top government lobster scientists warned of disaster, and they have since recommended drastic management measures to save the fishery.
