But Charles Tilburg, the director of the Arthur P. Girard Marine Science Center, told CBS News that researchers are also interested in whether environment or diet contributes to coloration. Lobsters grow through molting — a process in which they struggle out of their old shells while simultaneously absorbing water which expands their body size, The lobster in question will start regrowing her missing claw before her next molt, Tilburg said. However, it will take several molts to regrow a claw that's proportional to the rest of her body.
"We suspect that the lobster was stressed during the transfer," Tilburg noted."We have a much more sophisticated system for the transfer now."
