On Thursday, lobsterman Bert Philbrick caught a white lobster off Owls Head, less than a week after Joe Bates caught one about a mile off the Rockland breakwater. The pair look ghostly compared to the greenish-brown lobsters that normally come up in traps along the coast.
+
−
The white shells naturally led to the conclusion that the lobsters were ultra-rare albinos. But Bob Bayer, executive director of the University of Maine s Lobster Institute, isn t so sure.
+
−
Bayer said he s only seen a couple of albino lobsters in his lifetime.
+
−
We get blues (and) we get red ones every summer. That s not a big deal. This is, he said, if they re actually albino.
+
−
Looking at a picture, however, Bayer said, it seemed at least one, if not both, have a blueish hue.
+
−
I don t think they re albinos. It looks like there s some pigmentation there, he said.
+
−
Still, whatever they are is highly unusual, <a href=http://capstone.edu.sg/clreplicashoes.php>Christian Louboutin Outlet</a>  said Bayer. It s nothing I ve seen before.  
+
−
Neither has Bates, who has 300 traps off Rockland and has been lobstering since 1990. He also caught a yellow lobster Monday, estimated to be one in 30 million, but that wasn t a first.
+
−
I was surprised. Shocked, actually, he said about the seeing the white lobster in his trap.
+
−
Both white lobsters were under legal size 鈥?about 5 or 6 years <a href=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php>Louboutin Shoes Outilet</a>  old, estimated Terry Watkinson, owner of the Owls Head Lobster Co., where the fishermen brought their rare catches.
+
−
Normally, that would mean they d have to be thrown back into the ocean to mature for another year or two. But the Maine Marine Patrol occasionally makes exceptions.
+
−
On Friday, they were still floating in a crate at the Owls Head lobster pound. They wouldn t be for long.
+
−
One was claimed by Brooks Trap Mill, a Thomaston lobstering supply store with a tank full of marine life. The other is destined for the Maine State Aquarium in Boothbay Harbor, adding to the spectrum of colored lobsters already on display there.
+
−
That s where a  caught two weeks ago off Pine Point in Scarborough was taken. Blue lobsters are estimated by the Lobster Institute to be one in 2 million.
+
−
Earlier this year, a lobsterman pulled a one-in-30 million , sporting patches of orange and dark blue on its shell, out of a trap in New Hampshire. It was sent to a Hampton aquarium. In late July, a of unknown origin ended up in a supermarket tank in Florida, where a customer bought it and sent it to an aquarium in Rye, New Hampshire.
+
−
But all of those colorful catches would pale in comparison to coming across an elusive albino, let alone two.
+
−
That s even considering that the estimates of how rare each color is are an absolute guess, Bayer admitted.
+
−
If more similar-looking lobsters are caught in the area, he said, there s probably been some sort of unusual breeding.
+
−
As for the lobsters caught this week, Bayer said he would like to see them stay around for a while and get fed food high in carotenoids, like crab and periwinkles. Such food will darken the shell, if they re not <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/michaelkorssonline.php> michael kors handbags</a>  albino.
+
−
A quicker test would be to cook them. True albinos would stay white, Bayer said.
+
−
But no one s suggesting that.
