Lobster Institute Featured in New Book on Lobsters
A new book, “The Lobster Book,” by Virginia Wright and published by Down East magazine, includes a chapter devoted to the Lobster Institute at the University of Maine and mentions several lobster byproducts developed there. The author interviewed Lobster Institute Director Robert Bayer, who described research into such industry elements as lobster behavior, disease, regulation and alternative bait that the institute has done since its founding in 1980, in addition to more recently developed byproducts now commercially available such as biodegradable lobster shell golf balls and lobster-flavored dog “bisque-its.” The New York Times reviewed the book recently.
