In North America, there is rare specie of blue lobsters that are also called Atroceruleous Homarus. The blue color of these lobsters is actually caused by a genetic condition. The protein covers a small carotenoid molecule, astaxanthin, and when they’re combined together, they produce a blue complex called crystacyanin. This is why these lobsters are blue. About one in a million lobsters are blue.
Lobsters are mostly found 10 to 40 feet under shallow waters which should be remembered by all lobster enthusiasts. Once the winter season kicks in, they can only be seen 60 feet to 100 feet below water level to avoid the cold weather. Another thing that pushes these lobsters to swim deeper than they normally do during the cold season is to avoid the nasty storms. During this season, the harvesting of lobsters is the most difficult and challenging. Once the winter season is beginning to end, lobsters eventually swim back to the surface.
To start fishing for lobsters, you must have a nice and sturdy boat as well as good fishing gears. This kind of fishing makes use of boats, and other equipments. If you want to go lobster fishing, then you have to anticipate that you ‘ll probably use multiple traps that are connected with one another and a buoy that has a rope attached to it. Lobster traps must have escape holes to allow under-sized lobsters to get out of the trap. The doors of these traps should also be able to open automatically if they re left out for too long. Traps are sunk to the ocean bottom and dead fish are used to bait the lobsters. These traps allow fishermen to have a larger catch.
