The
northern lobster is a nick name for the american lobster. It is called the
northern lobster because the largest amounts of it can be found in the north
Atlantic ocean. The scientific name for an american lobster is Homarus
Americonus.
The
northern lobster can be found from Canada to North Carolina. The highest amounts
in Maine. Long Island Sound comes in second followed by Massachusetts. In
Stellwagen bank you can not hunt for Northern lobsters or any other sea life.
Northern lobster is considered one of the most tasty lobsters in the world.
A northern lobster is an invertebrate. Invertebrate means it
doesn’t have a spine. Humans are vertebras. The northern lobster is a greenish
brown color. Sometimes it will have a little blue and even white.
Northern lobsters will get to be 10-12 inches in Stellwagen bank. They
weigh about 2-5 lbs. There front claws are extremely strong and can move rocks
up to 1 pound. They also can be used to dig in the dirt to make there homes. The
sand in Stellwagen bank isn’t that hard so digging tends to be easy for the
lobster.
The
northern lobster is an interesting creature and there is much information about
it. I would suggest it if you need to do a project on sea life.
