About 99% of Jade lobsters is wild caught from the pristine coastal waters of New South Wales Australia. Each year there is a limited numbers of wild caught Jade lobster therefore it is tag and has a traceability number on the it.

Jade rock lobsters lives on rocky reefs and sand/mud substrates at depths from a few metres to about 200 m. It's reported to be the largest and hardiest species of rock lobster in the world.
Jade lobster can grow to weights in excess of 15 kg at a carapace length (CL) of about 38 cm.
Jade Lobsters size are between 10.4 cm (minimum legal length) and 18 cm CL (maximum legal length) and weigh from 0.5 kg to 2.5 kg.

After mating, female Jade Lobsters carry hundreds of thousands of tiny orange eggs under their tail by fine hairs. The eggs hatch after about six months and, like most baby crustaceans, the juveniles look nothing like their parents. They go through a succession of moults before they reach the adult form, usually migrating to shallow waters in large numbers during the process. It is thought that the Jade Lobster lives for more then 20 years.

Jade lobster flesh is firm, with a sweet medium and rich taste.
