The World Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in its report entitled "Cultured Aquatic Species Information Program of Panulirus homarus (Linnaeus 1878)" states that lobster (Panulirus sp.) Is one of the commodities that has high selling and demand value. . The average price can reach USD 20 per kg. But this high demand is not necessarily followed by high availability, let alone increased production.

Some of the major consumers of lobster include the United States (US), Canada, and China. People in China usually consume lobster in the form of sashimi (raw and fresh) as a dinner menu. Fresh lobster meat sliced ​​and served with headdresses and tails that are still intact. Lobsters traded to China generally come from aquaculture, mainly from Vietnam. But there are also those who come from catches originating from the US.
