What are the different types of a lobster?

Lobsters are primarily classified into two main types: the American lobster (Homarus americanus) and the European lobster (Homarus gammarus). Additionally, there are various species of spiny lobsters, such as the Caribbean spiny lobster (Panulirus argus) and the California spiny lobster (Panulirus interruptus), which differ from true lobsters in lacking large pincers. Each type has unique physical characteristics and habitats, with American lobsters typically found in the North Atlantic and spiny lobsters more common in warmer waters.
