Description
American lobsters (Homarus americanus) are the heaviest crustaceans in the world, reaching a weight of up to 20 kg. They are major commercial products in the northeastern US and Canada. Female american lobsters will only mate shortly after molting, and can store a male's sperm for up to 15 months. Once fertilized, the eggs will adhere to the underside of the mother's body until they hatch.
