Now that I have some keywords to work with, I need to learn a thing or two about Blue Lobsters. I haven't spent much time on a Lobster boat and my only experience with them is on the plate. Well, I did buy some off the dock in Maine one time but I'm not an expert by any means.
Google to the rescue. Googling [Rare Blue Lobster] gives me one result that is usually good for some information. Wikipedia. I usually start there anyway.
Now I will open a Notepad and grab some information that I might want to include in my article.
What makes them blue. Answer at Wikipedia: Crustacyanin, Astaxanthin
What's in that: Check deeper into Astaxanthin. Looks like an entire article on this stuff.
What about the Maine Lobster Harvest: Kewl, record numbers for the last few years.
Why is that? Google a bit deeper.
Found a research project worth mentioning on Lobster population studies.
I collected all my notes from about 15 minutes of reading and Googling the pertinent facts.
Then I organized them into a few paragraphs.
