| A precooled disposable syringe with a 19-G needle was used to extract 1 mL hemolymph from the base of the 5th pereiopod of the lobsters. |
| The tag was inserted through the dorsal membrane at the junction of the right 5th pereiopod and the epimeral line separating the cephalothorax from the pleon. |
| The trivial name alludes to the row of metal spines on the third pereiopod which distinguishes this species from other members of the genus. |
