Will rare blue lobster give birth to blue babies?

Blue lobsters are a rare creature but the sky-coloured crustacean at the Northumberland Lobster Hatchery in Pictou, N.S. is extra special.
The aurora blue spotted lobster, named Delilah, is carrying about 3,000 berries, or eggs, on her underside.
"She's the first blue lobster that we've had that has fully laden with eggs on her tail," says hatchery director Gary Nowlan.
Researchers say the chances of finding a blue lobster are one in two million. Delilah was caught by a fisherman with special permission to supply the hatchery.
"Normally if a fisherman catches a lobster with eggs on it, of any colour, then his license requires him to put that back," says Nowlan. "He has to put that back in the water by law."
But will Delilah's babies also be blue-hued?
No one at the hatchery knows for certain what colour the offspring of a blue lobster might be. Normally lobster larvae are placed back in the ocean about two to three weeks after hatching, but in this case a special lobster requires special treatment.
The larvae from the blue lobster will stay an extra few weeks and a handful will be kept at the hatchery indefinitely to see what colour they become.
"So we could have 1,500 to 2,000 baby blue lobsters, you know, or we could have none. So it is going to be interesting just to see," says Nowlan.
He expects to know the answer by the end of the summer.

Rare blue Nova Scotia lobster up for grabs on Kijiji CBC News Posted: Jun 10, 2012 2:46 PM ET
A fisherman in southwest Nova Scotia is offering up his catch of a lifetime to bidders online.Bobby Stoddard of Barrington was fishing about 11 kilometres southwest of Clarks Harbour on Cape Sable Island when he discovered an electric-blue lobster in his trap in May.
"There was three or four other lobsters in the trap when it came up," he said. Stoddard said his co-worker noticed a 'pretty one' among the group. "He turned around and held it up, and I was pretty surprised."
Stoddard couldn't believe the intensity of the blue on the lobster's shell.
"Even overtop his eyes and underneath, he's just really blue."
Only one in two million lobsters is blue, according to a report by the University of Maine. The report said the bright color is caused by a a genetic defect.
"My dad caught one about 40 years ago, and he said that's the only one he's ever seen," said Stoddard.
The crustacean is now living in a tank as Stoddard searches for a new home.
"He's still pretty lively."
Stoddard offered the lobster to the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, but was turned down.
He's now posted the blue guy on Kijiji.
"I just put it on there for sort of for a joke, thought maybe someone would be interested in having it or maybe a restaurant or something for a display piece or whatever."
Stoddard's only condition – that the lobster doesn't end up on a dinner plate. He said he'll release the rare crustacean back into the Atlantic before he lets that happen.
