@lbell77: “Lobsters shed their shells (a process called molting or ecdysis) because their hard outer exoskeleton cannot stretch or expand as they grow. Like other crustaceans, they must periodically discard the old rigid shell and form a larger one. This happens throughout their lives, more often when young and less frequently as adults. “ Today, I saw so many huge lobsters, a lobster that was 100% soft because he had just shed, and the cutest little fish! Started out with rough waters, but it was a good day to be on the big water with @F/V BERSERKER #maine #ocean #lobster #fyp #fish
