Eastern rock lobster - Jasus verreauxi
Description:
The eastern rock lobster is the largest species of lobster in the world, reaching up to 7 kg when fully grown. Few if any individuals reach this size, however, as the species has been heavily fished for many years. The commercial catch has fallen from around 400 t/yr in the 1980s to around 150 t/yr over the last decade.
