On the beach at shark bay, possibly brought in by some fisherman wanting dinner. Or perhaps illegally caught?

The only lobsters likely to be in NSW are Jasus edwardsii and Jasus verreauxi. I don't know if this is one of them. It looks like it has been cooked as there appears to be flesh left in the base of the feeler and a moult would be clean inside.

I believe Sagmariasus verreauxi is the new name for Jasus verreauxi, & J. verreauxi is given as a synonym.

Yes I suspect that is the situation, Thomas Mesaglio has confirmed the ID as Sagmariasus verreauxi

Any chance of getting Thomas Mesaglio to be a moderator for Sth Coast Nature Map?
