The Southern Rock Lobster, also known as Jasus edwardsii, is a species of lobster found primarily in the waters around southern Australia and New Zealand. This crustacean is characterized by its robust body, long antennae, and spiny shell, which can vary in color from reddish-brown to greenish. They inhabit rocky reefs and are often found at depths of up to 200 meters. Southern Rock Lobsters are an important part of the fishing industry, valued for their sweet, tender meat. They are typically harvested using traps and are a popular delicacy in seafood cuisine. Conservation efforts are in place to ensure sustainable fishing practices for this species.
