Early stage larval rock lobster (Phyllosoma). At this stage it is pelagic and roams freely in the plankton in the Tasman Sea. It will metamorphose into a small lobster at 1-2 years old. Although marketable rock lobsters are very valuable and are considered a potential candidate for aquaculture, the larval stages are very difficult to rear and there has been very little success to date.
