He is the general manager at Risør Aquarium, which has now become home to a bright blue lobster. – Blue lobsters exist, but such strong colors are incredibly rare.

Lobster fishing started on 1 October. – We immediately agreed that it was too great to end up in the lobster pot, says Geir Lønning to the local newspaper. The fishermen then contacted Risør Akvarium. – I have had blue lobsters several times, but none have been anywhere near as blue as this one. This one is very special with an incredibly beautiful blue colour, says Lønning. The lobster has now been nicknamed “Morten Blåmann”, the fisherman tells the local newspaper.
