NOTES – FNC INITIAL EVALUATION

There was debate as to whether the name Mud Rock Lobster is the most appropriate name. It was noted that it is the commonly used name for the species. It was suggested that the NT industry be specifically targeted during the public consultation to determine if there is a better name.

GENERAL FNC COMMENTS

SPECIFIC MATTERS ON WHICH THE FNC INVITES COMMENT

Please comment if you believe there are significant reasons why this application should not be supported. Your comments need to identify the specific protocol/s that you believe the name contravenes and the reasons why.

Checklist

Key actions to prepare a standard fish name application Applicant FNC Use

Check out the Fish Names Processes at http://seafoodstandards.com.au/seafood-standards/Pages/default.aspx

Search the searchable Standard Fish Names Database at http://www.fishnames.com.au/ which lists the current standard fish name, as well as obsolete names for the species.

Test your proposed standard fish name against the protocols for selecting names in Section 6

Determine whether samples of the species are required by contacting the Fish Names Committee secretariat and if so arrange for samples or results of taxonomic evaluation.

Consult key fish names stakeholders on your proposed Standard Fish Name and gather letters /e-mails of support

Attach responses from key stakeholders relating to your proposal.

Include a summary of changes (if any) that you made in response to concerns raised by key stakeholders.

Submit your application on the official fish names application form.

Download the Schedule of Fees payable for an application

Proponents should:

Review this checklist before completing the attached application form. It will help you to ensure that sufficient information is provided with your application for it to be considered by the FNC.

Attach documentation to help demonstrate that you have completed the actions required above. For example, you should include copies of:

o Emails, letters or notes on samples are needed for taxonomic assessment o emails, letters or notes demonstrating consultation with key stakeholders o a summary of key stakeholder views on your draft application o anything else that can help your application progress smoothly.

NOTE – Public Consultation is a critical part of the fish names process. This application and additional information will be made available to the public.

FNC Use

6.4.1: Compliance with international obligations requires that a standard fish name

accords products originating from other members of the WTO, no less favourable treatment than products of Australian origin.

Name is internationally recognised as Mud Rock Lobster or Painted Spiny Lobster, Painted Crayfish

does not create unnecessary obstacles to international trade.

No as above

maintains or enhances the protection of public health and safety

Describes the species

provides adequate information to enable consumers to make informed choices

A recognisable name

Species is currently not listed so prevents misleading naming

does not result in anti-competitive practices

It does not

does not facilitate unconscionable conduct

6.4.7 Structure of names

6.4.8 Scientific names

If the scientific name of a species changes, the standard fish name should remain unaffected unless there is a good reason for change.

Will not affect this name

Generic or family scientific names may be used as standard fish.

6.4.9 Other grammatical rules and exceptions : Standard fish names should adhere to the following:

Use capital letters at the start of each word except directly following a hyphen

Abbreviated forms of words and combined words are preferred

Words that end in 'ate': For adjectives a 'd' is not required at the end of the word. For verbs a 'd' is required at the end of the word.

Combine words that: precede band, banded, bar, barred or blotched; or follow double, false or half; or precede line, lined, speckled, spine, spotted, streak or streaked.

'Margin' (a noun) is used if the type or colour of the margin is defined (e.g., 'Brownmargin Flathead')

'Margined' (an adjective) is used if it is stand-alone (e.g., 'Margined Coralfish')

Multi is usually combined (e.g., 'Multispot Lanternfish')

'Shorthead' is one word (e.g., 'Shorthead Lamprey')

'Spangled' not 'spangle' (e.g., 'Spangled Emperor')

Candidate name is consistent with these protocols

7. JUSTIFICATION AND CONSULTATION (Applicant to Complete)

Justification: Summarise why the proposed standard fish names is needed and its benefits. It is preferable to identify the species by its species name. Currently the species can only be identified by the group name, Tropical Rock Lobster This will be one of a number of subsequent applications to clean up the Rock Lobster species as identified in Section 8.

Diagnosis:Antennular plate with 2 strong spines, without scattered small spinules.Third maxilliped without exopod. Abdominal somites 1 to 6 with a distinctuninterrupted white transverse band along posterior margin. Surfaceabdominal somites naked, smooth, without transverse grooves.Colour: abdominal somites 2 to5 with a white transverse band alongposterior margin which, however, is not set off by dark bands. Colour ofbody and abdomen usually greyish green without spots. Tail fan of arather uniform colour. Legs irregularly spotted, not distinctly streaked.

Daldorff". I.K.Daldorff, a Danish officer at Tranquebar, S.E. India, collected there forFabricius and also Herbst obtained material from him. The type materialof P. fasciatus almost certainly came from the Tranquebar area, andthere even is a possibility that Herbst's material of C. polyphagus wasalso obtained from Daldorff, so that the type localities of the two specieswould be very close, but this is only a guess. Three syntypes of P.fasciatus are in UZM, preserved in alcohol, condition reasonable.The statement of the type locality of P. orientalis is: "Japan. Salmin".Balss (1914: 76), who examined Doflein's type specimen and
