Animal
Spotlight: Lobster Hatchlings
They may look like something you've examined in science class
under a microscope, but these tiny organisms are actually baby
lobsters hatched from our yellow lobster, Chiffon! Due to her
large size, Chiffon potentially will lay over 75,000 eggs. The
babies shown here hatched on July 21. Additional eggs have
dropped since then. Measuring roughly 3 to 5 cm long, the
hatchlings stay at the water's surface for 4 to 6 weeks before
dropping to the bottom of their habitat. After the 6 week mark,
they will remain very small but will start to look more like a
typical lobster.

"Mystic Aquarium is
widely known for our facilities that help visitors connect with
and care about marine life. In the field and behind the
scenes, we engage in the rescue and rehabilitation of marine
mammals, sea turtles and much more. Equally as important is
the protection of ocean treasures. Work done by our Senior
Research Scientist, Dr. Peter Auster, and Dr. Scott Kraus from
New England Aquarium has been pivotal in identifying amazing and
diverse habitats in the Atlantic Ocean that, if protected, would
serve as a living laboratory for study, education and
conservation for all future generations."
Dr.
