PROTOCOLS FOR SELECTING STANDARD FISH NAMES The Fish Names Committee will assess whether your proposed standard fish name complies with the protocols for selecting standard fish names. Comment briefly below on whether you believe your proposed standard name complies with the protocols below. Protocol Applicant Comment 6.4.1: Compliance with international obligations requires that a standard fish name accords products originating from other members of the WTO, no less favourable treatment than products of Australian origin. Name is internationally recognised as Fourspine Rock Lobster or Pronghorn spiny lobster No as above does not create unnecessary obstacles to international trade. 6.4.2: Compliance with Federal and State laws requires that a standard fish name: Doc ID 426195 maintains or enhances the protection of public health and safety provides adequate information to enable consumers to make informed choices Describes the species A recognisable name helps to prevent misleading or deceptive conduct does not result in anti-competitive practices Species is currently not listed so prevents misleading naming It does not does not facilitate unconscionable conduct Version: 0.4 https://d.docs.live.net/1b06a8ef51d70708/01 Alan Snow Konsulting/01 Current Work Projects/2015-210 FNC/02 Fish Names Applications/248 Panulirus penicillatus (nemo)/248 Panulirus penicillatus App.docx FNC Use Species is currently not listed so prevents misleading naming 05:26:56 17-May-16 Page 3 of 7 Protocol is consistent with applicable industry codes of conduct protects consumers against unfair practices. 6.4.3 Preferred names Preference will be given to: a name that has over-riding historical significance a name that is internationally accepted a regional name where the species is most commonly encountered/caught a name commonly used in Australia a name that has strong stakeholder support a name used in recent mainstream field guides a name that most effectively distinguishes a species from its closest relatives a name that generally conforms to other members of the family or generic-level grouping a name that facilitates market acceptability 6.4.5 FNC Use Consistent with international nomenclature Species is currently not listed so prevents misleading naming 6.4.4 Doc ID 426195 Applicant Comment Name is internationally recognised Name is internationally recognised Not applicable Common name used in Australia and internationally To be tested a name that is simple, unambiguous, and easily readable. One name per species Requires that each species may be assigned a single, standard fish name, and no two species may have the same approved standard name. Group names : A group standard fish name: may cover multiple species in a particular scientific family or group of fish, and may not be the same as a species’ standard fish name, and Version: 0.4 https://d.docs.live.net/1b06a8ef51d70708/01 Alan Snow Konsulting/01 Current Work Projects/2015-210 FNC/02 Fish Names Applications/248 Panulirus penicillatus (nemo)/248 Panulirus penicillatus App.docx 05:26:56 Commonly used description for the species Is consistent Yes, particularly if the suffix Rock Lobster is used Well accepted in the marketplace Yes Is consistent with other species in the family Not applicable 17-May-16 Page 4 of 7 Protocol 6.4.6 6.4.7 6.4.8 6.4.9 Applicant Comment will follow internationally accepted names unless alternatives are well entrenched in Australian mainstream literature. Subspecies and hybrids Subspecies and hybrids will not generally be given a standard fish name. FNC Use Not applicable Structure of names Requires standard fish names to simplicity in names and structure (see protocols for full details). Scientific names If the scientific name of a species changes, the standard fish name should remain unaffected unless there is a good reason for change. Generic or family scientific names may be used as standard fish. Consistent with the protocols Other grammatical rules and exceptions : Standard fish names should adhere to the following: Use capital letters at the start of each word except directly following a hyphen Abbreviated forms of words and combined words are preferred Words that end in 'ate': For adjectives a 'd' is not required at the end of the word. For verbs a 'd' is required at the end of the word. Combine words that: precede band, banded, bar, barred or blotched; or follow double, false or half; or precede line, lined, speckled, spine, spotted, streak or streaked. 'Margin' (a noun) is used if the type or colour of the margin is defined (e.g., 'Brownmargin Flathead') 'Margined' (an adjective) is used if it is stand-alone (e.g., 'Margined Coralfish') Multi is usually combined (e.g., 'Multispot Lanternfish') 'Shorthead' is one word (e.g., 'Shorthead Lamprey') 'Spangled' not 'spangle' (e.g., 'Spangled Emperor') Candidate name is consistent with these protocols Will not affect this name 7. JUSTIFICATION AND CONSULTATION (Applicant to Complete) Justification: Summarise why the proposed standard fish names is needed and its benefits. It is preferable to identify the species by its species name. Currently the species can only be identified by the group name, Tropical Rock Lobster This will be one of a number of subsequent applications to clean up the Rock Lobster species as identified in Section 8.

FAO Names : En - Pronghorn spiny lobster; Fr - Langouste fourchette; Sp - Langosta horquilla. antennular plate Type : Type locality of A. penicillatus (and P. gigas, which is a replacement name for A. penicillatus): unknown (“Elle se trouve . . . .."). Type material in Lamarck collection, in MP? In the Paris Museum there are 7 specimens of this species labelled “Mer des Indes”, or without locality indication. One or more of these may belong to the type lot, but this cannot be made certain. Type locality of P. ehrenbergi: “Coseir” ( = Quseir, Red Sea coast of Egypt). Type in NMW. Fig. 285 Type locality of Cancer theresae: “At Tautira, in the barrier reef”, Tahiti; whereabouts of type material unknown. Geographical Distribution : IndoWest Pacific and Eastern Pacific regions: Red Sea, E. and S.E. Africa to Japan, Hawaii, Samoa and the Tuamotu Archipelago and further east to the islands off the west coast of America (Clipper-ton Island, Revillagigedo Archipelago, Cocos Island, Galapagos Archipelago) and in some localities near the continental coast of Mexico (Sinaloa, Nayarit and Guerrero) (Fig. 286). Fig. 286 152 Habitat and Biology : Depth range from 1 to 4 m, rocky substrates. In clear water, not influenced by rivers, often in surf zone and in surge channels. Therefore often near arid coasts and on small islands. The species is not gregarious and is nocturnal, hiding in the daytime in crevices in the rocks and coral reefs. Size : Maximum total body length about 40 cm, average adult length about 30 cm. Males usually much larger than females. Interest to Fisheries : The species is fished wherever it occurs. Mostly taken by hand or with spears during diving in daytime, or with torch light near the surface at night. Traps do not seem not to be very effective, but are used in places; trammel nets seem to give better results. On the west coast of Thailand the species is sold in local markets or directly to restaurants. In the Galapagos the average catch is 50 to 100 lobsters per day. They are sold fresh for local consumption or as frozen lobster tails.

Type : Type locality of Cancer polyphagus: “Das Vatertand ist Ostindien”. The dry hototype or lectotype in ZMB, no. 1973, in good condition. antennular plate Fig. 287 153 Type locality of P. fasciatus:“Habitat in Oceano lndico Dom. Daldorff”. I.K. Daldorff, a Danish officer at Tranquebar, SE. India, collected there for Fabricius and also Herbst obtained material from him. The type material of P. fasciatus almost certainly came from the Tranquebar area, and there even is a possibility that Herbst’s material of C. polyphagus was also obtained from Daldorff, so that the type localities of the two species would be very close, but this is only a guess. Three syntypes of P. fasciatus are in UZM, preserved in alcohol, condition reasonable. The statement of the type locality of P. orientalis is: “Japan. Salmin”.Balss (1914:76), who examined Doflein’s type specimen and synonymized P. orientalis with the present species, remarked that the locality indication “Japan” is doubtful “da auf Salmins Fundorte in unserer Sammlung kein Verlass ist” and as the species was not known from Japan. C-L. Salmin was a dealer in natural history objects in Hamburg in the second half of the last century (the Lei den Museum had dealings with him between 1863 and 1875) and evidently, like several of such dealers at that time was not very accurate with labelling his material. The true type locality of P. orientalis thus is unknown; the holotype was in ZSM, now probably lost (not located in 1989). Geographical Distribution : Indo-West Pacific region, from the coasts of Pakistan and India to Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, N.W. Australia and the Gulf of Papua (Fig. 288). Habitat and Biology : The species is found on muddy substrates and sometimes on rocky bottoms. Often found near river mouths, in turbid water. Depth range from 3 to 90 m, but usually far less than 40 m. Size : Maximum total body length: about 40 cm, common from 20 to 25 cm. Interest to Fisheries : In the Bay of Bengal and the Gulf of Thailand, the species is quite important commercially. In India, the main fishing season extends from November to March. The animals are caught by trawling, but also with set nets, seines, etc.;they rarely enter traps. Sold fresh and frozen in local markets and also transported to the larger towns. Served regularly in restaurants in Thailand, and else-where. In Thailand, mounted dry specimens, usually in fancy glass cases, are sold as curios to tourists.

Geographical Distribution : Eastern Atlantic region: west coast of Africa between Cape Juby (Morocco) and Mocâmedes .(S. Angola), and western Mediterranean (east coast of Spain, south coast of France) (Fig. 290). Habitat and Biology : The species inhabits shallow water from the sublittoral to 40 m, but is mostly found between 5 and 15 m. It seems to prefer rocky bottoms. Size : Maximum total body length 35 cm, usually not more than 25 cm. Interest to Fisheries : The species is fished for throughout its range, mostly with vertical nets or by trawling; it is also taken by hand or with lobster pots. The lobsters are sold fresh locally. French (Breton) and Spanish fishing boats bring the specimens alive (or frozen) to France and Spain where they are marketed. In some places in Spain, the lobsters are kept alive in “viviers” before being sold. In Angola “the quantity of “lobsters“ is not sufficient to assure the development of fisheries on large commercial scale” (Da Franca, 1966: 1).

Habitat and Biology : The species seems to inhabit rocky areas in shallow water. Size : Known carapace lengths: 6.5 to 10.5 cm (males), and 5 to 6.5 cm (females). The corresponding total body lengths are about 16 to 28 cm (males), and 13 to 16 cm (females). (after George & Fischer, 1978) Fig. 291 Interest to Fisheries : The species is of commercial interest notwithstanding its relatively small size. Caught throughout its range, mostly with tangle nets, rarely by lobster traps. Sold fresh on local markets. In Hong kong, it is mainly caught in February/March and August, September. The species is reared and cultured in China (Liu, 1986:44).

The “Naturaliste” together with the “Geographe” left Le Havre, France, on 18 October 1800 on a voyage of discovery to Australia. F. Peron and CA. Lesueur, whose names as zoologists are well known in connection with this expedition, shipped on the Géographe, the zoologists on board the “Naturaliste” were G.J.B.M. Bory de St Vincent and D. Dumont. Bory de St Vincent, however, did not travel beyond Mauritius, where he stayed for a year. The two ships arrived at Mauritius (Ile de France) on 16 March 1801 and left 25 April. The “Naturaliste” reached SW. Australia on 27 May 1801 and went from there to Timor where she stayed from 22 August to 13 November 1801. From Timor the “Naturaliste” went around S.W. Australia to Tasmania and Port Jackson, Sydney, and returned from there the same way to Shark Bay, Western Australia, which was left 23 March 1803 for Timor. On 3 June 1803 the ship headed home from Timor via Mauritius. The only two localities where the “Naturaliste” could have collected Panulirus versicolor are Mauritius and Timor. It seems best to select Mauritius as the restricted type locality. Types in MP, see under type of P. taeniatus. 157 Type locality of P. taeniatus: “Habite les mers de la Nouvelle Hollande” Lamarck (1818:211) cited P. versicolor Latreille as a synonym of his P. taeniatus (although he himself used the name versicolor for a species that probably is P. penicillatus). As Lamarck claims that the type specimens of his P. taeniatus are rather small, just as Latreille (1804) did for his own P. versicolor, it is possible, that taeniatus is just a new name for versicolor Latreille, and that the type material of the two is the same. The fact that the object of the voyage of the “Naturaliste” was to explore Australia (“Nouvelle Hollande”), may be the reason that Lamarck gave Australia as type locality for P. taeniatus, while its types probably were actually collected in Mauritius or Timor. In the Paris Museum, there are 3 specimens identified by Lamarck as P. taeniatus labelled “Ile de France” (= Mauritius), which may be the syntypes of this species and of P. versicolor. Type locality of P. ornatus decoratus: “Java”, Indonesia. Type material in NMW. Type locality of Puer spiniger: “Amboina”, Moluccas, Indonesia. Depository of syntypes unknown. Type localities of Panulirus demani: “Blanche Bay, New Britian” (1 male syntype in ZMC, in alcohol, good condition), “Amboina” (Moluccas, Indonesia),“Neu-Guinea” (= southeast coast of Papua New Guinea between Yule Island and East Cape),“Thursday island” (Torres Strait, Australia) (material from the last three localities reported upon by Ortmann, 1894, the syntypes probably in the Zoological Institute, University of Jena, Germany), “Java-See” (Java Sea, Indonesia) (De Man, 1896; 2 juveniles syntypes in ZML). Type locality of Senex ornatus laevis:“Singora” ( = Songkhla, S. Thailand on coast of Gulf of Thailand). Holotype male in ZMC, in alcohol, condition good. Geographical Distribution : Indo-West Pacific region: entire Red Sea and east coast of Africa (south to Natal), to southern Japan, Micronesia, Melanesia, northern Australia and Polynesia (Fig. 294). Habitat and Biology : In shallow water, from the sublittoral down to 15 m depth; in coral reef areas, often on seaward edges of the reef plateau. In clear water also in surf areas. The species is nocturnal and not gregarious; in daytime, it hides in crevices and cavities of the rocks. Size : Maximum total length about 40 cm, average length less than 30 cm. Interest to Fisheries : The species is taken wherever it occurs, mostly for local use; like all spiny lobsters it is considered to be excellent food. It is taken in daytime by divers, either by hand or with spears; at night it is hunted and speared at the reefs with the help of torch lights, it rarely enters trapsOn the west coast of Thailand, it is sold fresh in markets or directly to restaurants; mounted specimens, usually in fancy glass cases are sold as curios to tourists.
