Here is a Mamma lobster with all the eggs attached. They excrete them one at a time and attach around 3000 where they will stay until hatching.

That is a normal sized screen that you are looking through, over a piece of PVC pipe. The lobsters are fully formed at this stage and must be kept separate to avoid them eating each other or injuring each other.

Here are the baby lobsters in a tank. The tank is heavily stirred with air bubbles in order to keep the young lobsters apart from each other.

This was our teacher at the lobster hatchery in Bar Harbor Maine. He is also a lobster fisher and owner of the hatchery. A very interesting man and funny too.
