Lobster Biology and Reproductive Behavior
This is an artist's interpretation of an aquarium
used to study lobster reproductive behavior as described in a paper by D.
Cowan. Dimensions: 6 x 1 x .65m.
Although some of these documents are technical in nature, they still contain interesting information on lobster behavior that is easily understood by all. In other words, don't let the analyses throw you.
