I'd keep her as a pet

It's a shiny.

Although...it has lousy camouflage. It might not last long in the wild.

WHO YOU GONNA CALL??!! GHOST LOBSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thebigfathen
That's racist -lobsters probably
StabbyTheCat
I'm glad it went back. Some rich twat would've paid silly money to cook & eat that bugger just so they could tell everyone they had done.
Khelan2050
Well it still will probably get eaten, just in nature.
glassweaver
Which is what's going to happen to the rest of the lobsters the fisherman caught. I still don't get why he put it back unless he had to.
rattusfarm
And then an hour after they put it back it gets caught by someone else and they eat it. Happy ending.
minc3r
Why can everyone else find a fucking shiny?

To be boiled and dipped in drawn ghost sauce
Snooj
Well, she was tagged as an egg bearing female. Didn't have a choice. Unless this is a different one that the recent one.
glassweaver
I'd call the DNR and ask about keeping it & giving it to an aquarium. It'd live longer and happier at a place like Shedd in Chicago.
MushroomFiend
Lobsters don't do well in captivity (to my knowledge)
glassweaver
Interesting. I didn't know lobsters were potentially exceptionally difficult. Thanks for the info!
MushroomFiend
Not difficult. They don't live long in captivity.
Meyek
But it wasn't a ghost. It was a ghost lobster!

I find it odd that we eat (what are pretty much) insects from the sea, but turn our noses up at ones on land. Maybe the crunchy shell 1/2
BeardedAssassin
Makes them palatable somehow, i don't know. 2/2
bzort
Yep. Crabs look like ticks.

Let's try bugs in butter sauce. I bet they all taste dank
darkdragonempress
Fun fact: Lobster was considered trash food and in Maine it was considered cruel and unusual punishment to feed prisoners lobster more 1
darkdragonempress
Than 3 times a week. 2
Darwinthenaturalselector
I'm sad they didn't keep her for breeding. You could make cool ghost lobster babies and sell those bitches for a nice price.
Malhavocs
There is actually a virus that can cause this in invertebrates and not always genetics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iridoviridae
Cypheri
You're assuming that it's a heritable trait. That isn't always the case with rare colorations.
MothMonsterMan
Its fin was already marked as a breeding female. Someone already caught it and threw it back after tagging
usersubbordercontrol
Cypheri
Assuming it's heritable at all. If it's just a random mutation it might not be possible to reproduce in offspring.
usersubbordercontrol
Unless you had another ghost lobster to remove SOME inbreeding. In the end, it'd have all recessive traits of the first one basically
NationalOrganizationOfMenAgainstAmazonianMasterhood
Probably a recessive trait or one not passed to descendants. Like dwarfism or deafness. But what the fuck do I know?
madpoopz
Probably nothing.
darkdragonempress
Well you know a lot of things that cause lack of pigmentation are recessive traits so good on you.
Darwinthenaturalselector
As a molecular biologist, I know for a fact that dwarfism is a dominant allele and some forms of blindness are passed down recessively
Darwinthenaturalselector
If its recessive, you could breed him/her, take her offspring and cross-breed them and then select for lobsters that have "ghost" phenotype
Kharv
Your moms passed down recessively. My phone tried to autocorrect to excessively, so prolly that too.
Darwinthenaturalselector
IamUlrich
Always thought that was weird. Having both alleles is lethal if I remember correctly. Seems odd we don't see more dwarves.
Darwinthenaturalselector
Yes, it is lethal if the kid has homozygous genes (2 of the same allele), if it is one dwarf and one wild type (normal), they are a dwarf.
