No you can't see a lobster on the meter, if it is possible you probably wouldn't be able to distinguish them from the bottom, so no.

Halibut.... is it possible to meter them? Yes according to mark wisch. You have to screw with your fishfinder settings and get it dialed in to where anything thats not the bottom shows up. That anything could be just that anything, could be halibut could be trash, dead body....etc....

Basically use your fishfinder to find the structure that the particular species you are targeting is. Then fish in that area, if you see fish then that's a bonus. Just go out and use it and you will eventually learn.
