Australian Rock Lobster

  • The Australian rock lobster comes from the group of crustaceans called spiny lobsters. The spiny lobster family includes the rock and langoustine lobsters. In Australia and New Zealand, this family also includes crayfish. Spiny lobsters do not have claws, but long antennae and legs protruding from their bodies. The average Australian rock lobster is 10 inches long and about 6 pounds. A rock lobster's weight is primarily skeleton, shell and organs; it has only 1 to 2 pounds of meat.
