How to ship lobsters and other live seafood?

Does anyone here have good information (from personal experience would be nice) on how to ship live lobsters, crabs, clams, mussels and the like? Local fish markets will do that, but not economically. I would like to ship these things to friends when I have a large catch or when prices are low here.

I think it involves using dry ice and overnight shipping. I need specifics on how to pack everything. Dry ice gives off carbon dioxide as it evaporates. How are the live creatures prevented from suffocating?
