This was so cool to witness this first hand. A lobster will grow by shedding their shell or also known as molting. The process goes like this, a lobster takes in excess water,which causes its shell to split. #lobster #lobsterweek #Maine #tourism #commercialfishing #fishing #lifestyle #education #boating #learn #behindthescene #unique #intresting #grundens #wearefishing | The Downeast Cowboy

How Lobster Shells Could Replace Single-Use Plastic

Lobsters undergo a growth process known as "molting." In this process, a lobster absorbs extra water, creating internal pressure that results in the splitting of its shell. The lobster subsequently frees itself by shedding its old outer shell, revealing a fresh, pliable exoskeleton. #lobster #molt #shed #crustacean #maine #intresting #unique #perfecttiming #education #commercialfishing #mainer #boat #boatlife #fisherman #lobsterfishing #cool #discover #newengland #ocean | The Downeast Cowboy
