Thymops [Thymops]

Description

Thymops includes species known as the South Atlantic lobsters, found in the cold waters of the South Atlantic Ocean. These lobsters are characterized by their large size, robust claws, and a carapace that lacks the typical spines found in many other lobster species. They are adapted to the cold, deep-sea environments and are less commonly found in commercial fisheries compared to other genera.
