Another lobster is molting in our lab! It's absolutely incredible to watch. (This video is sped up 400x so you can see the whole process.) | Gulf of Maine Research Institute

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
