FIG. 5 - CALIFORNIA AND FLORIDA LANDINGS OF SPINY LOBSTERS, 1920-49. Union of South Africa, Mexico, Cuba, British West Indies, Australia, New Zealand, and Brit- ish Honduras consist entirely of spiny lob- sters. Figure 6, based on the data in Table 3, presents the yearly imports of "not canned" spiny lobsters from the five principal sup- pliers to the United States. A remarkable in- crease can be noted in the shipments since 1935 from the Union of South Africa, from the British West Indies, and from Cuba. Australia began marketing here in I927 and has greatly augmented her shipments since that time. New Zealand (included with "all others" in Fig- ure 6) has followed Australia' s lead and has recently developed her spiny lobster fisher- ies, with the United States as the primary market. During the decade I92O to 1929 the total imports of live, frozen,or cooked spiny lob- sters from the five principal sources (Mexico, Union of South Africa, British West Indies, SPINY LOBSTER IMPORTS Tables 3and U give the imports of both the lobsters and the spiny lobsters. Since there is no dis- tinction made in the import records between these two crustaceans, it is impossible to separate the two groups with certainty, at least from those countries whichhave well- developed foreign commerce and, therefore, may import for export lobsters or spiny lobsters from other countries in which both types of crustaceans are found. Thus, the imports from United Kingdom, Nether- lands, Sweden, Belgium, Denmark, Ger- many, Norway, France, Spain, Portu- gal, etc. , could be either common or spiny lobsters. Fortunately, most imports can be separated with fair accuracy. Imports from Canada, New- foundland, and Labrador are almost exclusively, if not entirely, the common lobsters, while those from Table 5 - Landings of Spiny Lobst
