					It has a maximum total body length of 46 cm and a carapace length of 18 cm.  Maximum depth from Ref. 113432.  Fisheries:  The tails of this species are exported frozen in the shell, or peeled and canned.  Experimental work on culture techniques for this species are underway in South Africa.  Protective measures includes a size limit (carapace length 8.5 cm), a closed season from July 1 to October 31, bag limits for sports fishermen (2 specimens per day), and the prohibition of taking ovigerous females or soft shelled specimens (Ref. 4). Occurs at depths from 0 to 46 m of coastal waters and inhabits rocky bottoms, sometimes with patches of sand and mud (Ref. 4).
