Soft-shells (lobsters that have only recently molted) do not survive more than a few hours out of water. Lobsters are usually cooked alive, [57] which may be illegal in certain areas [58] and which some people consider inhumane. [59] [60] Lobster 'tail' (actually the abdomen) is sometimes served with beef as surf and turf. [61]
As well as being eaten by humans, the soft-shelled clam is relished by sea otters in the eastern Pacific Ocean, [citation needed] where the clam is an invasive species. In New England the soft-shell clam is preyed heavily upon by northern moon snails and invasive green crabs. They are also a favorite of gulls, which pull the clam from the sand ...
According to scientists, lobsters’ shell colors are determined by complex interactions between three layers of carotenoid pigments, which are naturally occurring pigments found in plants, algae ...
This is a difficult process that takes many hours, and if a crab gets stuck, it will die. After freeing itself from the old shell (now called an exuvia), the crab is extremely soft and hides until its new shell has hardened. While the new shell is still soft, the crab can expand it to make room for future growth. [17]: 78–79

[2] Catching soft-shell crab is very time-sensitive and requires that any caught crabs be kept in ...
Being rare is not an understatement; while blue lobsters are considered one in 2 million, split lobsters are said to be one in a 50 million catch, according to National Geographic.
Frederich is working on noninvasive ways to extract genetic samples from lobsters to try to better understand the molecular basis for rare shell coloration. Frederich maintains a collection of strange-colored lobsters at the university's labs and has been documenting the progress of the offspring of an orange lobster named Peaches who is housed ...
