The Lobster lives on the bottom of the sea — under rocks. Its means of defense are claws and ret real. It will sacrifice its life if necessary, lor reproduc- tion. Its organism is modified to meet the conditions of reproduc- tion and defense. The fishermen are the greatest enemies of lobsters. The lobster is like a big insect. In all Crustacea the head and thorax are fused into one body. The lobster sheds all its shell once in a while. Then we have soft- shelled Crustacea. The critical period in the life of any Crustacea is in this shedding stage, when it tempts other animals to eat it. The new shell forms very rapidly — in 2 or 3 weeks. The little brown spots on back underneath the shell are the glands for secreting the shell. When the lobster sheds its shell it also sheds the lining of its stomach. The lobsters are kept in the hatchery till about an inch long and then are thrown out to shirk for themselves. The shell is product of the skin. The parts of the lobster's body are : head, thorax, abdomen and swimineretts, to which the eggs are attached. The young cling to the same swirn- meretts till they shed their outside skeleton several times, which, when young, is every few days. The period increases as they grow older. Nearly all eggs are fertilized and hatched. They are excellent food for young species, hence young lobster are often destroyed.
