according to the associated press report on the 6th, in the past year, some lobsters with rare colors have been frequently found in many places in the united states, including not only blue or orange lobsters, but even bi-colored lobsters. in this regard, american scientists are conducting research.

maine, located in the northeastern united states, is rich in lobsters. over the past year, local fishermen have frequently caught lobsters with rare colors, such as some blue or orange lobsters, and even bi-colored lobsters with two colors evenly distributed on both sides of the body.

according to scientists from the university of new england in maine, these lobsters with rare colors are likely the result of a genetic mutation. scientists also said that bi-colored lobsters have been relatively rare in the past decade or so, but have been discovered every year in recent years, especially in the past year, the probability of bi-colored lobsters being caught has greatly increased.

scientists say they have begun studying the dna of bicolor lobsters in the hope of finding out why they are appearing more and more frequently. previous studies have shown that extreme weather and environmental pollution may be the cause of lobster gene mutations.
