价值数十万的大龙虾 Lobster valued at hundreds of thousands of yuan

Weighing(称重) 3.3 kgs and over 60 cm long(长), this lobster was caught(捕获) last week by a villager in Fujian Province. It is confirmed to be the rare(稀有的) ornate rock lobster, a colorful species(物种) with turquoise stripes(条纹), dark red tentacles(触须), black-and-white legs(腿), and yellow speckles(点) over its body(身体).

上周福建一渔民捕获一只重3.3千克,长60多厘米的龙虾。龙虾全身五彩斑斓,身上有青绿色条纹,两条触须则是暗红色,四肢黑白相间,还有不少黄色斑点点缀其中,随后被证实为稀有的中华锦绣龙虾。

The villager says a boss in Fujian offered a primary quotation of 350,000 yuan ($52,483 US) for the lobster. Early in 2014, a fisherman from Zhejiang Province caught one weighing 2.5 kilograms and sold it for 600,000 yuan ($89,989 US).

该渔民说,福建一位老板愿出35万元购买该龙虾。早在2014年,浙江一渔民捕获的重2.5千克的此类龙虾卖了60万元。
