Abstract

Crustaceans commonly known as lobster belong to four families. The family Nephropidae which includes the well-known European lobster Homarus gammarus, the American lobster Homarus americanus; the Norwegian lobster Nephrops norgicus and the Mozambican crayfish Metanephros andamanicus; the Scyllaridae family, also known as Spanish lobster or cava-cava; the Synxidae family, known as coral lobster, and finally the Palinuridae family or spiny lobster so named for having spines on the carapace and basal segments of the second antenna (Coob and Phillips, 1980). Although lobsters inhabit almost all marine habitats, there are certain zoogeographic regions where there is a dominance of certain groups of lobster. (TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
