But the one that was caught by fisherman from the island of Chebeague, Maine, stood out from many.
He was translucent and whitish-blue.
48-year-old Alex Todd catches lobsters for more than two decades, but says: never before like never seen before.
«I came across lobsters of different colors, even bright blue. But this one was almost transparent, no, «the Ghost,» said Alex.
As told by Tech Times in the Association of fishermen of the coast of Maine, the usual lobsters get their color by mixing blue, yellow and red protein pigments. The color of lobsters (lobsters) may also be affected by various genetic mutations.
