Nephrops norvegicus

Nephrops norvegicus, known variously as the Norway lobster, Dublin Bay prawn, langoustine (compare langostino) or scampi, is a slim, coral-colored lobster that grows up to 25 cm (10 in) long. It is now the only extant species in the genus Nephrops, after several other species were moved to the closely related genus Metanephrops. It lives in the north-eastern Atlantic Ocean, and parts of the , but is absent from the Baltic Sea and Black Sea. Adults emerge from their burrows at night to feed on worms and fish.
