Tristan da Cunha island group (approx. 2400km SW of Cape Town), including Gough Island
Conservation Notes
Imported from Tristan da Cunha, fished there by a South African company. Very similar to west coast rock lobster. Stocks around Tristan seem healthy though those at Gough Island have shown sharp declines. Illegal fishing could be a problem due to the isolation of these islands
