Israel

An annual catch of 2–3 tonnes (2,000–3,000 kg) has been reported for Israel.

I find this numbr remarkable since lobsters are not kosher. Should it be mentioned? --Error (talk) 21:19, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Type specimen

Is there any information on what happened to the type specimen? (e.g. fire/flood/lost/stolen/eaten/sold to private collector/etc) I tried to go to the reference listed, but I'm getting an "Internal Server Error" on the website. -- 174.21.224.109 (talk) 22:33, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
