Spiny lobster (Lat. Palinurus vulgaris). It lives on rocky bottoms in holes and crevices and reaches a length of 45 cm without tentacles and a weight of 5 kg, but it usually weighs 0.6 kg. It lives up to 10-160 m deep, mostly 30-80 m deep. The end of autumn and the beginning of winter mark the time of spawning. The female lays about 25,000 to 30,000 eggs under her belly. The incubation period, until the larvae hatch, lasts 5 months in the Mediterranean as well as in the Adriatic, while in the Atlantic it lasts 9 months. Immature lobsters grow approximately 2 – 2.5 cm after each moulting, which means that their average growth is 4-5 cm per year. Although they are described as “typically social species,” especially because more than 10 individuals can be found in the same lair, after reaching sexual maturity they change their behaviour and become individually territorial. Yet these friendly crabs often take care of each other by producing sounds that alert other individuals to potential danger. It is fished with nets and pots.
