Panulirus ornatus (known by a number of common names, including tropical rock lobster,[3][4] ornate rock lobster,[5] ornate spiny lobster[2] and ornate tropical rock lobster[6]) is a large edible spiny lobster with 11 larval stages that has not been successfully bred in captivity.[3]
P. ornatus has a wide geographical range in the Indo-Pacific, from the Red Sea and KwaZulu-Natal in the west to Japan and Fiji in the east.[2] In most parts of its range, the lobster is netted or speared, while in Northeast Australia, a commercial fishery has existed since 1966 and the harvesting of the species is regulated by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority.[2][4] The species now also occurs in the Mediterranean, having invaded as a Lessepsian migrant through the Suez Canal.[7]
