Talk:Jasus edwardsii

Untitled
It is generally agreed that for crustaceans at least, vernacular names should not be capitalised (except where other proper nouns are included). I would therefore like to move this article to either Rock lobster or Spiny rock lobster (I would prefer Jasus edwardsii even more, but I doubt that would meet with general approval). However, the capitalised form ("Rock Lobster") is the only correct form for the song. Would anyone object if I split this article into two, Rock lobster for the crustacean, and Rock Lobster for the song, with disambiguatory links between the two? --Stemonitis 08:56, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

In the absence of any given reason not to, I have split the article as projected above. --Stemonitis 11:26, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Added Rock Lobster for the song. --Fantailfan 23:00, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Nothing about the cocktail?
Really, I wanted to know what goes into it.

No Picture?
Does anyone have a free image for this article? --TomFriend08 (talk) 21:44, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

South African species?
Is the rock lobster that occurs along the Atlantic coast of South Africa and Namibia the same or a related species? From the description and photo here it seems to be (almost) identical. Roger (talk) 22:06, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I found it - it's Jasus lalandii Roger (talk) 08:32, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Crayfish
I am currently visiting NZ and the Kiwis seem to refer to this crustacean exclusively as a "Crayfish". It may be helpful to at least mention this in the text, and some kind of disambiguation link may be appropriate, since the New Zealand coastline is one of the primary areas where these animals live. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.211.125.157 (talk) 13:24, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Food Crop
A Bit strange stating that well off countries generally only eat the tail meat, particularly when the premium product, ie live, is exported to China, where the entire lobster is used and consumed. The seconds and reject lobsters are "tailed" and those tails are generally exported to the US, as a lower value, albeit still high priced product. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.97.250.231 (talk) 08:06, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

GBRMPA tropical rock lobster
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority has a zoning requirement for the protection of the tropical rock lobster. Tropical rock lobster is currently a red link at Barber Island, if anyone knows how to redirect it. Thanks, Unscintillating (talk) 02:53, 24 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Please clarify whether tropical rock lobster just a different common name for this species or is it a different species? Roger (talk) 15:59, 24 January 2012 (UTC)


 * A few minutes searching has turned up this Australian Institute of Marine Science web page which identifies the tropical rock lobster as Panulirus ornatus. If you look on the Panulirus page you'll see that many of the species in that genus are redlinks - so there's quite a lot of articles that still need to be written.

 * Your minutes of searching and posting of useful advice has now turned into a new article, thanks. Unscintillating (talk) 05:44, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
