The higher the temperature, the faster the lobster uses up oxygen and the higher the probability of drying out. Keeping lobsters moist is even more important because the gills (like our lungs) need moisture to function. When handled properly, lively, hard-shelled lobsters can easily live out of water for 4 or 5 days. Keeping lobsters moist doesn't mean that they have to be submerged. In fact, lobsters are much better off being out of water during shipment.
Based on the descriptions of lobsters seen by fishermen during Colonial times, lobsters of that period sometimes lived to be approximately 150 years old. Not surprisingly, when the lobster industry began during the 1800's, the life expectancy of lobsters decreased.As a result, the oldest lobster on record lived to the age of 100 years, and weighed about 43 pounds.ased on the descriptions of lobsters seen by fishermen during Colonial times, lobsters of that period sometimes lived to be approximately 150 years old.
