据外媒报道，在过去七个月的每个周日，大约有6万只生猛北美龙虾被装进冷藏箱，通过大韩航空公司货机飞行18个小时运往亚洲。
据报道，这些龙虾从加拿大的哈利法克斯起飞，途经韩国飞抵上海。随着中国的需求飙升，今年以来龙虾的跨洋之旅已经成为每周常规。随着加拿大和美国的出口暴增，美国龙虾价格达到有史以来最高。
美国农业部数据显示，美国对中国的龙虾出口去年达到8560吨，比2009年增加了22倍。
部分原文报道如下：
Every Sunday for the past seven months, about 60,000 live North American lobsters packed in wet newspapers and Styrofoam coolers make the 18-hour flight to Asia in a Korean Air Lines Co. cargo plane.
The 7,500-mile （12,000-kilometer） trip from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Shanghai via South Korea has become a weekly routine this year with a surge in demand from China, where lobsters caught in North Atlantic waters are at least one-third the cost of competing supplies. As a result, exports have skyrocketed from Canada and the U.S., the world's top producers, and American prices are the highest ever.
