How can you tell how old a lobster is?
Online Answer
By counting rings on the lobster's eyestalks, you can figure out how old it is. Scientists already could tell a fish's age by counting the growth rings found in a bony part of its inner ear, a shark's age from the rings in its vertebrae and a scallop or clam's age from the rings of its shell.
