Covering the remarkable life cycle of the largest spiny lobster in
existence, this fascinating reference explores the packhorse
lobster, one of the most primitive of all crayfish, found off the
coasts of northern New Zealand and mideastern Australia. From egg
to plate, the chapters cover the taxonomy, ecology, distribution,
anatomy, physiology, and behavior of these intriguing creatures.
Fishing techniques used to catch them are also investigated,
depicting their impact on lobster populations as well as the ways
in which they are then processed and marketed. Ideal for both
specialists and those with casual interest, this accessible,
beautifully illustrated book presents valuable, previously
unpublished syntheses that include all the world's spiny lobsters.
Essential facts and figures, numerous maps, and detailed tables are
also included.
