Lobster Claws

April 10th, 2010
3 comments

Lobsters are hydraulically operated animals, pushing their body fluid from one chamber to another, deriving their strength from these fluids instead of blood and body muscles. Lobsters are not fish but air-breathing animals that would drown without an oxygen-enriched environment. They are also known as crustaceans for their hard shells. Researches say that only cold-water lobsters have claws among the family of lobster.

The claws of a lobster grow and change all through their life span with the young ones starting their lives with the claws comprising only 5% of their body weight, eventually growing up to large males that may carry almost 50% of their body weight in the claws. Female lobsters have comparatively smaller claws than the males of the same weight after reaching sexual maturity. The huge crushing claws of a sexually mature male are an object of pride and means to attract the females. Large, rounded molar like teeth adorn the outside of these crusher claws while the inside is made up of 100% slow twitch muscle fiber. These muscles are characterized by their endurance and strength combined with their ability to sustain strong and long contractions.

Fast lobster claws are known by a number of names, such as pincher, seizer, and cutter. These claws are distinguished by a serrated edge including great tufts of sensory hair, lining the pointed and sharp teeth in the outside. Inside, the seizer is typically made of fast-twitch muscles known for their rapidity but lack of ability to sustain contractions for a long time.

The young lobsters begin their lives with these two types of claws ? crusher and seizer. However, at the young age the claws are not differentiated into seizers and crushers, with both kinds having slow and fast twitch muscles including a probability that the lobsters might grow up to a right or left handed adult. This handed ness is determined in the first two phases of the young lobster?s life when it starts settling down into the bottom, depending on which claw it mostly uses. The type of the claw is not genetically preordained. Once the young ones have developed their crusher and seizer claws they remain left or right handed for the rest of their lives.
