THE NEW ZEALAND WATERS host two types of Rock lobster:
Jasus Edwardsii (New Zealand Rock Lobster) which has a red colour and a size from 0.4-3.5 kg. Jasus Verreauxi (Packhorse Lobster) which is a green colour lobster and can grow extremely large from 1.6 kg up to 5 kg.

Due to the colder water tempera-ture the New Zealand lobsters have a higher oil content than tropical warm water lobsters and are rated as one of the world's finest.
