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
