Non CITES species.

The Scyllarides latus, commonly known as the Mediterranean slipper lobster, is a species found in the Mediterranean Sea and the eastern Atlantic Ocean. It is edible and highly prized as a delicacy, but it has become rare across much of its range due to overfishing. Adults can grow up to 1 foot (30 cm) in length, are camouflaged, and lack claws. Nocturnal by nature, they emerge from caves and other shelters at night to feed on mollusks. Besides being a delicacy for humans, S. latus is also preyed upon by various bony fish. In Portugal, it is commonly known as "Cavaco." This particular specimen, sourced from the coast of Italy, has been expertly prepared and is displayed in a stunning glass vitrine.
