Abstract
This is probably the 3d record of a completely bisexual lobster and the 1st specimen in which hermaphroditism was associated with a color anomaly. The left side of the 10-inch specimen was orange and greenish brown and contained a mature testis and male secondary sex characters. The right side was mottled blue, with a mature ovary and female secondary sex characters,.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
