The western rock lobster or western crayfish, Panulirus cygnus, is a spiny lobster found off the west coast of Australia, and is Australia's most valuable fishery, making up 20% of value of Australia's total fishing industry. The annual catch is around 8,000 - 15,000 tons. The value of production in 2003/2004 was AUS$248 million. The fishery was one of the first fisheries in the world to be certified as ecologically sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council.
