Product Information

The hooded slipper lobster is found in the Western Atlantic region, from southern Brazil south to northern Argentina. The Japanese fan lobster is harvested throughout its range, although there is little data on the quantities being caught. The Mediterranean slipper lobster is found in the Mediterranean Sea and in the eastern Atlantic Ocean. This species can reach a total length of 32 centimetres (13 in), but does not generally exceed 25 cm (9. There are four subfamilies of the family Scyllaridae — Arctidinae, Ibacinae, Scyllarinae and Theninae — with 21 genera split amongst these.

They have two pairs of antennae; the first one is long and flexible and used to sense the environment, and the second antennae is expanded and flattened into large plates that extend horizontally forward from the animal’s head. It is not commercially fished in large quantities and is listed as Data Deficient on the IUCN Red List.From here, almost nothing is known about the transition to the adult stage, although it is thought they continue to grow through a series of moults.

This can take up to a year after which the larva moults into a “nisto” stage that lasts a few weeks. Some species have much higher commercial value than others, with some species only being sold when they have been accidentally caught by fishermen. Young slipper lobsters go through around ten developmental stages or phases when hatched out of the egg.The small European locust lobster is the subject of small scale fishery, but its scarcity and its small size make it an unattractive target.
