A large lobster is seen at Three Sons Lobster and Fish on Saturday in Portland, Maine, US. A mild winter and warmer than usual spring caused lobsters to shed their shells six weeks earlier than usual which resulted in an overabundance of lobsters in the Northeastern US that has driven down prices to record lows. Lobstermen hope to make at least $4 a pound to turn a profit, but prices this year have been as low as $1.25 a pound. Photo: AFP
