Rare 1-in-100-million white ghost lobster Casper rehomed at Maine university
A white lobster nicknamed Casper, estimated to appear once in every 100 million lobsters, has been rehomed at the University of New England in Maine. Scientists at the institution are now studying Casper as part of broader research into unusually colored lobsters. The research involves analyzing more than 15,000 genes to identify the genetic factors responsible for the lobsters' rare shell colorations. Casper's striking appearance and genetic profile make it a valuable subject for understanding color variation in lobster populations.
