Lobster Institute statistics cited in Epoch Times article on blue crustacean
The Epoch Times cited statistics from the Lobster Institute at the University of Maine in a report on a blue lobster caught off the west coast of New Quay, Wales. It’s impossible to say exactly how rare blue lobsters are, according to the article; however, one in two million are the odds that have been widely touted in the media. The UMaine Lobster Institute has corroborated these odds as well, the article states, citing a BBC interview with Bob Bayer, the former executive director of the institute. The odds are just a “guess,” though, Bayer said.
