Lobster Adventures


This photo is was taken at a lobster pound named Pots Harbor Lobster on the coast of Maine on our trip on Wednesday. At the lobster pound we learned about how the lobster was caught and brought into the pound and distributed out to buyers of the lobsters. Jim, the owner of the lobster pound, was sorting lobsters when we met him and had some very interesting things to say to the group about his daily job.


This picture was taken at a Marine Research Center in Booth Bay, Maine. At the research center, we learned about some more statistical things about lobsters such as pounds caught throughout the years. Also we got to go to an aquarium and see many lobsters and different types of fish, such as the blue lobster in the photo above. At this aquarium, there were many interesting types of lobster. The women who was in charge of the wet lab showed us a 20 pound lobster.


This photo was taken at the Harbor Fish Market in downtown Portland, Maine. At this fish market they sold lots of lobster and lots of fish. This picture is of some haddock about to be to sold to some customers.
