Blue Lobster Landed by FV Molly Hock

Check out this rare blue lobster landed on Tuesday, September 24th by the FV Molly Hock.

The blue lobster is a result of a genetic defect that causes the lobster to produce more of a certain protein than normal. Blue lobsters occur about one in every two million lobsters.

Blue lobsters seem to run in the Minctons' family. David Minctons landed a blue lobster on August 18, 2014, nearly ten years ago aboard the FV Shag Eyed Shark out of Southwest Harbor
