How big can lobsters get? Some lobsters get quite large. The largest lobster ever caught in Maine waters was the size of a three year old child and weighed 27 pounds. See "Maine's biggest lobster returned to Atlantic Ocean", Reuters, February 24, 2012.
How much lobster is caught in Maine waters? In 2011 a record was set for the highest lobster catch in one year. Lobstermen in Maine caught more than 100 million pounds of lobster. 3. Lobster accounts for about 70 percent of the value of Maine seafood harvest.
How are live lobsters shipped from Maine to market? If the destination is close (Boston, New York, or elsewhere in New England) the lobsters go by truck.
