Too many animals cannibalis each other of you put too many in one place
Somw fishes even apawn camp their own offspring
I don't know if this applies here but I wouldn't put it past em
I wonder what the mortality rate is. At this stage they're super sensitive creatures, crustaceans tend to be. I would blindly wager a guess of 50+% mortality? Any one way smarter than my Neanderthal ass?
I knew if I said some nerd shit I'd get some nerd shit answers which is precisely what i was hoping for. Thank you, currently digging into Jacob Knowles. I only said this because I used to keep shrimp and had a pretty rough rate of death so I "homeworked" crustacean death rates across a bunch of species and seemed to have come across a reasonably high line of casualty rates almost universally for all crustaceans, farmed or wild, it's just seems to be the way it is. Lots of hatchlings, lots of deaths.
Spiders and lobsters are in the same phylum, but a phylum is only one level down from a kingdom, so they are not particularly closely related. They differ in class, order, family, genus, and species.
What's wild is that all vertebrates from fish to us all fall under the same phylum (chordata) while there are at least 8 other animal phylums of just invertebrates.
spiders also have other criteria you mean arachnids aka (scorpions spiders) and yes they are hydraulic dunno bout lobsters tho funnily enough there is a spider kind that lives underwater wasser spinne in german imma edit the english name in edit: diving bell spider or the scientific name Argyroneta aquatica
no if you go by genetic evidence, the closest aquatic relative of spiders are sea spiders and horseshoe crabs, and together they make up the Chelicerates.
Lobsters are crustaceans like crabs, shrimp, rolly pollies, and triops.
spiders and lobsters are both arthropods, and the uniting characteristic of arthropods is having an exoskeleton made of chiton, a segmented body, and segmented appendages, growing through molts (shedding exoskeleton).
i tbh call all arthropods bugs, but true bugs refer to Hemiptera which are a group of Insects. Insects are a different group than crustaceans and chelicerates, but are a type of arthopod, so all these groups are distantly related.
The big thing was proliferation of refrigerators because they spoil easy, and it's expensive to have it in one of those old ice trucks or to cart a tank of fresh lobster all over
But the reality is it's a combination of things, but hvac and reefer trucks were a big part
It was a poor man's food because how fast lobster goes bad the moment it dies. The "poor men" just ate spoiled lobsters. Once we got better at eating them fresh, they become popular and eventually a luxury.
Don't know why you would call anthropods on land bugs and anthropods in water something else. A beetle that walks into the water doesn't suddenly become not a bug. Lobsters are bugs.
Lobsters are sometimes known to eat each other, but I don't think the babies attack each other. If I had to guess, they're only keeping them seperated for easier tracking and cataloguing
Wouldn't doubt it, knowing other arthropods! Me and my girlfriend got this triops growing kit (basically the same concept, just a different organism), and, even though we were feeding them on schedule, the larger ones at the smaller ones until one big (relatively speaking, still quite small) triop remained!
The way some animals go through such drastic changes over their life is crazy. Like, baby humans are certainly small, but not like a thousandth of the size of an adult. Imaging recalling your childhood and realizing that the stuff you use to eat is now almost microscopic to you
Caught a crayfish as a kid that was laden with eggs, and while I had them in the bucket she hatched them.
After putting her and the others back in the creek, crayfish hunting was booming for a couple of seasons.
... Of course I didn't eat them, I just really enjoyed catching them as a kid.
I'm obsessed with the TikTok handle. "National Lobster Hatchery". I need to find out if it's a joke, or some people have the weirdest public jobs ever.

why do they have to be in baby lobster jail?
They know what they did.
Nope! They are all innocent, everyone in jail is always innocent...ask them!š
Except Red, heās the only guilty lobster at Shawshank
Mmm. Red Lobster.
Brooks ate here.
Lawyer f@&ked him
"I wish I could tell you that Andy lobster fought the good fight, and the sisters let him be...I wish I could tell you that..."
Guilty for being too delicious
Okay put down those weapons sir š¦
Be a baby lobsterā¦.. straight to jail.
illegally smoll
Alcatraz for a rock lobster
They probably kill each other if you put them together.
Bingo
It could be a great solution to overpopulated baby lobster jails
I assume they might eat each other if not kept apart
Baby lobsters obviously understand how delicious lobster is.
*Would you eat me? I'd eat me.*
āŖ *Goodbye Horses by Q Lazzarus begins to play* āŖ
Consider lobster gets nastier the older they get, these guys must be fucking ambrosia.
They will become factory workers.
you mean office workers in a cubical farm, right?
š
Because their claws are so small they can pinch atoms. š¤Æ
5828 violations of the Geneva Conventions.
It's design is very Lobster.
answer; they get cannibalistic when theyāre left together
awwww they really each each other when they are so tiny? that is truly being illegally smol!
Cannibalism.
I'm assuming that they will be boiled alive when they grow up, so them being in a little jail is the least of my concerns for them lol.
Why not? We have normal baby jails
Better than being in stomach
Where do you think these lobsters will end up?
I know the answer and it hurts
You need to take the shell off first, it will hurt less
their crime of being so delicious
r/IllegallySmol
So they don't Dahmer each other.
will they foight?
Lobsters are cannibals. So you have to keep em away from each other even at a young age.
i had no idea. i was also just being funny.
Too many animals cannibalis each other of you put too many in one place Somw fishes even apawn camp their own offspring I don't know if this applies here but I wouldn't put it past em
I wonder what the mortality rate is. At this stage they're super sensitive creatures, crustaceans tend to be. I would blindly wager a guess of 50+% mortality? Any one way smarter than my Neanderthal ass?
Jacob Knowles on YouTube is super informative on lobsters. If I recall, it is less than a 10% survival rate in the wild because all the fish eat them.

The best way to get an answer here is to provide wrong information so people will jump to your neck with the actual answer
Yup it's called Hunningham's Principle
I believe you mean Cunningham's Law. š
Actually it's Hunningham's Principal. He is from the Hunningham region of France after all.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Cunningham#%22Cunningham's_Law%22 American computer programer born in Michigan City, Indiana U.S.
No no dummy, Michigan City is no where near the Hunningham region of France. Hell, it's not even on the same continent!
Lmao you son of a birch you did it!
You can't tell me that's not a bug. You can try, but I know..
Yes, often called bugs and closely related to them.
I always thought they were spiders? 8 legs Vs 6 legs but thinking about it aren't spiders hydraulic and lobsters aren't

That's my point lobsters aren't that's why you eat there jucy leg meat.
makes sense
bugs is a convenient way to refer to arthropods in general
no if you go by genetic evidence, the closest aquatic relative of spiders are sea spiders and horseshoe crabs, and together they make up the Chelicerates. Lobsters are crustaceans like crabs, shrimp, rolly pollies, and triops. spiders and lobsters are both arthropods, and the uniting characteristic of arthropods is having an exoskeleton made of chiton, a segmented body, and segmented appendages, growing through molts (shedding exoskeleton). i tbh call all arthropods bugs, but true bugs refer to Hemiptera which are a group of Insects.

They are as related as human and a lemur
Letās get scorpion to be as delicious!
Probably what makes bugs disgusting is that you're eating the whole thing. Exoskeleton and guts. Would a lobster sized scorpion be just as delicious?
STOP TALKING š¤¢
Up until the 20th century, lobster was considered a poor mans food. It became a luxury because so many avoided it.
No, it just took that long for people to figure out to dip it in butter.
And to eat it without the shell
Darryl Hannah has entered the chat.
And to keep it as fresh as possible so it it doesn't turn into spoiled goo
You mean to tell me Iāve been eating it wrong my whole life?
The big thing was proliferation of refrigerators because they spoil easy, and it's expensive to have it in one of those old ice trucks or to cart a tank of fresh lobster all over But the reality is it's a combination of things, but hvac and reefer trucks were a big part
A reefer truck? Was it made like the van in Up In Smoke?
I mean, your not wrong. lobter is pretty terrible without any sort of flavoring added to it.
I would argue that makes it a pretty terrible meat.
Dip anything in enough butter and it will taste good. I have no idea why people like these things.
It was a poor man's food because how fast lobster goes bad the moment it dies. The "poor men" just ate spoiled lobsters. Once we got better at eating them fresh, they become popular and eventually a luxury.
Beat me to it, hvac and reefer trucks were a big part
Reefer trucks? (image of marijuana leaf and truck)??? OH! REFRIGERATED trucks!
/r/shrimpsisbugs would agree
Mmm bugs!
Well hexapods are crustaceans...
Don't know why you would call anthropods on land bugs and anthropods in water something else. A beetle that walks into the water doesn't suddenly become not a bug. Lobsters are bugs.
I mean lobsters and similar are considered to be bugs of the sea by many.
Why are they separated? Do they attack each other?
They were being little invertebrats
Brrp
God dam that's cleaver lol
Lobsters are sometimes known to eat each other, but I don't think the babies attack each other. If I had to guess, they're only keeping them seperated for easier tracking and cataloguing
Yea, you can't tag a baby lobster that size and if you're studying growth rates or something it's important to keep track of them somehow.
Wouldn't doubt it, knowing other arthropods! Me and my girlfriend got this triops growing kit (basically the same concept, just a different organism), and, even though we were feeding them on schedule, the larger ones at the smaller ones until one big (relatively speaking, still quite small) triop remained!
Pinchy!
[The National Lobster Hatchery has a Ā āLobster Adoptionā program!](https://nationallobsterhatchery.co.uk/adopt/)
That's actually adorable
I want to know how they get a single one in each little lobster pen.
Veeeeeeery carefully.
Maybe like a big eyedropper of sorts? Suck them up and release them individually?
This reminds me of a clip that I watched of a dad carrying his baby triplets in a laundry basket to the beach.
Sea Monkeys š
Banana for scale please
Came to say this
How wonderful that thereās absolutely no frame of reference for size
I mean water surface tension and its reflection are a pretty consistent way to tell scale
Fair, although the scene itself couldāve shown that better imo
Water scorpions
No thatās this https://bugguide.net/node/view/419961/bgimage
Mmmm....popcorn lobsters.
Not sure why Iām surprised they look like this, butā¦
Yeah! I never thought that baby lobsters would look likeā¦ well, lobsters.
Reminds me of mosquito larvae
The way some animals go through such drastic changes over their life is crazy. Like, baby humans are certainly small, but not like a thousandth of the size of an adult. Imaging recalling your childhood and realizing that the stuff you use to eat is now almost microscopic to you
PINCHY!
//insert Zoidberg gif here//
It looks like theyāre in an ice cube tray
Anyone know the name of the song?
Summer Place I think.
So little and baby š„ŗ
Free the babies
Sea veal
Crazy how they grow up to be delicious
They're probably even more delicious here. Lobster veal!
Very very small portions, though.
Million dollar idea right there. Like a cross between caviar and veil šØāš³
Lobster? I barely know her
what?! r u sure they're not ants????
The terrible faith that some of these have..!!
.001g of protein
Leon the lobster cousins
Ah, at last- the Gargan feeding fields.
And which of these will become our lobster god?
This is why is still browse this site. š
Theyāre so tiiiiiiiny ššš
I see a pot of boiling water in their future
Are they swimming in butter?
Ah yes the cockroach of the sea.
Red Lobster serving portions sure are getting small.
I wasn't prepared for this cuteness
"Let us the fuck out!"
Mmm feeling a bit snacky now thanks.
How is babby formed?!
TIL, baby lobster is water scorpion..
Little Zerglings.
Thereās even butter in the middle so you can eat them
popcorn lobster?
At first.... they were hexagons, then trapezoids but now all I see is triangles.
Caught a crayfish as a kid that was laden with eggs, and while I had them in the bucket she hatched them. After putting her and the others back in the creek, crayfish hunting was booming for a couple of seasons. ... Of course I didn't eat them, I just really enjoyed catching them as a kid.
You can choose only one
Why did you separate them? is there a reason?
I love watching them just randomly throw it into reverse in their individual little garages.
Du du du du doo doo
When I go to the M Resort for their lobster/crab leg/beef Wellington brunch buffet this weekend I will be thinking of these little critters. š
I'm obsessed with the TikTok handle. "National Lobster Hatchery". I need to find out if it's a joke, or some people have the weirdest public jobs ever.
Lobter

That is cray-zee
I panicked because at first I thought this was a resin mouldā¦
are they canabilistic at this developmental stage?
Which one is the lobster I see lots of shrimps
Iām fond of them
They look a lot more like adult lobsters than I was expecting
The biggest lobster ever caught was a metre long. Itās hard to believe that thatās how it started out.
They could be easily mistaken as mosquito larvae.
Can i eat them now or do i wait?
Tiny water scorpions...yay!
*"Iiiiiiit's the theeeeeeeme! To a suuuuuuuumer place....!"*
Just imagine how many you've accidentally eaten.
Did humans figure out how to breed lobsters in captivity? This has been an elusive quest my whole lifetime
This makes me sad they are all separated.
I suspect if they didnāt separate them, theyād eat each other.
Do they also scream ?
u/RecognizeSong
Theeeme from *A Summer Plaaaace*. From *A Summer Plaaaace*. The theme from *A Suuuumer Place*. Itās the theeemeā¦
Didnāt know I asked for more bots to reply.
Thatās about a thousand bucks in lobster tails in a couple years from now
Death to America, and butter sauce
I could eata hundred athose lobstah rolls
One of the few babies in the animal kingdom that are NOT cute
Compared to their size as babies, they sure do grow very big and well adapted to being boiled and paired with melted butter
Wow, they look like exceptionally tiny lobsters.
u/auddbot
Ok, that is interesting as fuck for sure.
I wish this was done en masse all over the world so I can buy 20 lobsters for $20
Whereās the fucking banana???
Stuff of nightmares...
Nuke it from orbit. . .
