So if the temperature isn't ideal when the eggs hatch, there may be no food around for them. ![]() She says there's also evidence that newly hatched lobsters may feed on zooplankton, tiny aquatic organisms that are affected by temperature variation. The logger takes the temperature of the water every 15 minutes. A Hobo Tidbit thermal logger is attached to a few lobster before they're released. ![]()
