The Seychelles artisanal spiny lobster fishery targets shallow water lobster stocks around the main granitic islands. The main species of lobsters caught are Homard Grosse Tete ( Panulirus penicillatus ), Homard Rouge ( P. longipes) , Homard Vert ( P. versicolor ) and Porcellene ( P. ornatus ). The preferred habitats for these species are fringing carbonate reefs and granite reefs which provide good shelter for the lobsters. The spiny lobster fishery in Seychelles is a licensed and seasonally - managed fishery with fishers applying for licences prior to the opening of the season, which typically last 3 months in duration.
