DUBLIN - It is the catch of a lifetime for Irish fisherman Stuart Brown when a rare blue lobster landed in his trap. The chance of netting one is a one in two million.So when Mr Brown found the blue lobster among his catch in early February, the 28-year-old from Bangor, County Down in Belfast Lough, was pleasantly surprised.
“I sort of saw it, but I thought, ‘it’s just a lobster’. You could hear the tail going. I slid the pot down to the crew man who lifted it out, and he made a comment, ‘That’s very blue’,” said Mr Brown in an article in The Irish Times. “It’s still out in the lough somewhere, swimming about as happy as can be. Hopefully if someone else does catch it, they’ll return it as well,” he said.
“You would get lobsters out there that don’t look normal, they’d be a bit browner or redder... but nothing that extreme,” he said.The BBC said blue lobsters are believed to be so rare that some marine biologists estimated the chance of catching one is about one in two million.
