A Look At Lobster Delivery

By Thomas Smith


Lobsters are highly perishable commodities. Owing to this, for efficient shipping it requires a lot of attention. They are normally transported while alive so as to enhance efficient lobster delivery. To keep it alive throughout the journey, important packaging and shipping arrangements need to be done. Any act performed to enhance transportation should help in making them remain moist and cool throughout the journey.

It has been found that if kept under a good place that is moist and cool, it consumes less oxygen. This makes transportation easy and affordable. Under high temperatures, the rate of oxygen consumption is very high. This makes its transportation expensive and quite difficult. Most of lobsters die during transportation due to lack of enough oxygen. Therefore, its rate of usage must be regulated to ensure that it is able to reach destination.

The importance of keeping it moist is to ensure that the gills remain functional. Normally, under proper care most lobsters can live to the outer world for about four to five days. During shipping, never pack them close to the ice. Dry ice produces a lot of carbon dioxide that may cause a great problem to it. On the other hand placing it in fresh water, may make it absorb water through osmosis hence swelling up a condition that may make it burst.

If one intends to transport it while under seawater, one should ensure that the container in which it has been placed is highly aerated for efficiency. The most commonly used mode of transportation involves the use of trucks that have been refrigerated. Within these trucks, temperature and moisture are well regulated for their betterment. Under these conditions, they are able to remain alive throughout the journey.

Before commencing the journey during transportation, crucial preparations should be done. It is important to expose them to a cool environment so that are not highly affected when moved to a cold place, due to sudden change in temperature. They are not friendly to the environment whose temperature changes abruptly.

It is advisable not to feed them few days between two to three days before transportation. When full they consume oxygen gas at relatively high rate that may increase their chances of suffocating. The situation may also increase the chances of vomiting which makes the environment messy and not attractive to look at.

It is very essential to ensure that you transport them in a place where there is an opening so as to allow carbon oxide gas produced escape to the atmosphere. Carrying them in airtight container, results in carbon dioxide gas accumulating inside, a situation that may not be good for the organisms. It results in having very small room for the oxygen. Packaging should be done in such a way that the shells do not break during the transportation.

When intending to order one, choose a nice company to help in transportation. A nice one should have good equipment to help in transportation. Choose one whose mode of payment is friendly and at the same time the prices they ask for the service, are friendly also. Find such companies from the internet. Friends and relatives may also advice where to get one that offers high quality services.
