Lobster
Lobster, any
of numerous marine crustaceans (phylum Arthropoda, order Decapoda)
constituting the families Homaridae (or Nephropsidae), true lobsters;
Palinuridae, spiny lobsters, or sea crayfish; Scyllaridae, slipper,
Spanish, or shovel lobsters; and Polychelidae, deep-sea lobsters. All
are marine and benthic (bottom-dwelling), and most are nocturnal.
Lobsters scavenge for dead animals but also eat live fish, small
mollusks and other bottom-dwelling invertebrates, and seaweed. Some
species, especially of true and spiny lobsters, are commercially
important to humans as food.
