Spiny lobsters, also known as rock lobsters are a family (Palinuridae) of about 45 species of achelate crustaceans, in the Decapoda Reptantia. Spiny lobsters are also called crayfish, sea crayfish or crawfish.
Although they superficially resemble true lobsters in terms of overall shape, and having a hard carapace and exoskeleton, the two groups are not closely related. Spiny lobsters can be easily distinguished from true lobsters by their very long, thick, spiny antennae, and by their complete lack of claws (chelae); true lobsters have much smaller antennae and claws on the first three pairs of legs, with the first being particularly enlarged. Like true lobsters, however, spiny lobsters are edible and are an economically significant food source; they are the biggest food export of the Bahamas .
Spiny lobsters are found in almost all warm seas, including the Caribbean and the Mediterranean Sea, but are particularly common in Australasia, where they are referred to commonly as crayfish or sea crayfish (Jasus novaehollandiae and Jasus edwardsii), and South Africa (Jasus lalandii). A new species, Palinurus barbarae was described in 2006.
The largest spiny lobster on record was over 1 m (3 ft) long and weighed over 11.8 kg (26 lb).
Spiny lobsters tend to live in crevices of rocks and coral reefs, only occasionally venturing out at night to seek snails, clams, crabs, sea urchins or carrion to eat. Sometimes, they migrate en masse, in long files of lobsters across the sea floor. Potential predators may be deterred from eating spiny lobsters by a loud screech made by the antennae of the spiny lobsters rubbing against a smooth part of the exoskeleton . Spiny lobsters usually exhibit social habit by being together. However recent studies indicate that healthy lobsters move away from infected ones and leaving the diseased lobsters to fend for itself .
The furry lobsters (e.g. Palinurellus) are sometimes separated into a family of their own, the Synaxidae, but are usually considered members of the Palinuridae. The slipper lobsters (Scyllaridae) are their next closest relatives, and these two or three families make up the Achelata. Genera of spiny lobsters include Palinurus and a number of anagrams thereof: Panulirus, Linuparus, etc. (Palinurus was also a helmsman in Virgil's Æneid.)

FALL RIVER, MA — In a major — and unexpected — victory for the climate movement, the criminal charges against two men who used a lobster boat to block a massive coal shipment were dropped this morning.
In May 2013, Ken Ward and Jay O’Hara used a little white lobster boat, the Henry David T, to block a shipment of 40,000 tons of coal to the Brayton Point Power Station in Somerset, MA, the largest coal plant in New England. They were charged with conspiracy, disturbing the peace and motor vessel violations and faced up to several years in jail.
The Bristol County District Attorney, Sam Sutter, dropped the conspiracy charges and reduced the other charges to civil infractions this morning, saying that he saw the need to take leadership on climate change. He called climate change “one of the gravest crises our planet has ever faced” and told a cheering crowd that he would join them at the People’s Climate March in New York City in two weeks.

the blue lobster molted today. this is the thing we saw in the fish tank that scared us into thinking the lobster wasn't feeling well.
each time i take a picture, different angles and flash height, it's a different color. i didn't mess with the colors, really.
I felt faintly sad watching the lobsters waiting in this tank at the Sobeys on Dupont and Ossington for death (probably a painful one, going by the compelling arguments of David Foster Wallace's famous essay "Consider the Lobster"). Certainly they're far from being as free as the lobster uplifts of Charlie Stross' 2005 novel Accelerando.
Together with some friends I was out practicing catch & release on the these yummy yummi tasteful, very expensive beauties. We went with the local aquarium who does research on the population of the Norwegian lobster. The discussion these days is about preservation for about 10 or more years or some other action to let the population grow back to a level where we again can harvest this delicacy.
"Red's Eats" famous lobster roll. I feel insulted having ever thought I had had good lobster before (i.e. Red Lobster). I'm tellin' ya, it doesn't get any better than this.
A lot of different sea creatures were taking naps on the beach on Friday.
Today a few of us are going deep sea fishing. I'm not super pumped about the fishing part, but the being on a boat on the ocean in the sun with friends part is great. :) Wish us luck!
Columbus Lobster Dinner Cruise is one of Cancun’s most famous night tours. It is a tranquil trip through the romantic and mild waters of the Nichupte Lagoon on our Spanish Galleon Columbus. The trip has been especially planned to share magic moments with that loved person… the lagoon would never reveal the secrets kept in this trip as in the heart of each other. Delicious surf n’ turf or lobster dinner with the finest wine is completed with the sweet notes of a saxophone.
