Eunephrops bairdii is a species of marine lobster, commonly called the " red lobster", endemic to the Caribbean Sea. It is found off the coasts of Colombia and Panama at depths of 230–360 metres (750–1,180 ft). It reaches a length of up to 20 centimetres (7.9 in), which is equivalent to a carapace length of 4–9 centimetres (1.6–3.5 in), but is apparently too scarce for commercial exploitation. [2]
