(Redirected from Metanephrops armatus)

'''Metanephrops''' is a genus of lobsters, commonly known as scampi. Important species for fishery include ''Metanephrops australiensis'' (Australian scampi) and ''Metanephrops challengeri'' (New Zealand scampi). It differs from other lobsters such as ''Homarus'' and ''Nephrops norvegicus'' in that its two main claws are of equal size, rather than being differentiated into a ''crusher'' and a ''pincher'' ^[1].
