LARRIER HOUSE LOBSTER FACTS

Lobsters produce eggs (7,000 to 80,000) that are extruded and carried under the female's abdomen during a 9 to 11 month incubation period. The eggs hatch during late spring or early summer. Lobsters molt approximately 20 times (in 5 to 8 years) before reaching minimum legal size.
