How old can a Lobster live to be?
Based on the descriptions of large Lobsters seen by fishermen during Colonial times, Lobsters of that period sometimes lived to be (approximately) 150 years old.
Not surprisingly, when the Lobster industry began during the 1800's, the life expectancy of Lobsters decreased.
The scientific community also waited until the 1800's before they took an interest in Lobsters. Therefore, the oldest Lobster on record lived to be 100 years old, and weighed about 43 pounds

Interesting April, imagine how big they would have been and based on a huge size then imagine the cost here in Oz they average about $60 per kg and upwards, unless of course you are lucky to catch your own (with a license of course) or are given them as gifts, Some of us would literally kill for a good nosh down on lobster ;D ;D ;D
