Panulirus penicillatus[edit]

  • ... that although the spiny lobster Panulirus penicillatus is heavily exploited for food throughout its range, its total population seems relatively unaffected?

  • Article is brand new, long enough, neutral, uses inline citations to sources, and appears to be free of copyvio problems. The hook is OK. QPQ review checks out. No image offered for DYK; there are a couple of Commons images in the article, but I doubt they would look very good if reduced. Good to go. — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 04:08, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
  • - Could we maybe have a more interesting hook? Something about them being 'coral cray' maybe? PanydThe muffin is not subtle 13:07, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
There is nothing particularly interesting that leaps out of the article in my opinion. I find the hook interesting because, unlike some fish that are heavily exploited for food and whose numbers dwindle, this lobster lays so many eggs that it maintains its numbers.

  • Looks absolutely fine to me. And yes, it is unusual in its field. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:01, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
