Jasus paulensis Jasus paulensis, also commonly known as the St Paul rock lobster, is a species of spiny lobster found in the waters around Saint Paul Island in the southern Indian Ocean and around Tristan da Cunha in the southern Atlantic Ocean. At one time the rock lobsters on Tristan da Cunha were believed to be a separate species known as the Tristan rock lobster ("Jasus tristani"), but the use of mitochondrial DNA sequencing has shown them to be identical. Some authorities, for example the IUCN, retain them as separate species. The Tristan rock lobster features on the coat of arms and the flag of Tristan da Cunha.

Under a particular interpretation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea it could be classified as a rock, which would only give Venezuela a twelve nautical mile economic zone. However, Venezuela claims it is an island, which grants it a 200 mi exclusive economic zone. Mostly sand, a small portion has some scrubby vegetation. It is sometimes completely submerged during hurricanes. It is 185 km southwest of the closest land, Montserrat, 225 km west of Dominica and 547 km north of the Venezuelan mainland.

Southern sleeper shark The southern sleeper shark or Whitley's sleeper shark ("Somniosus antarcticus") is a deepwater benthopelagic sleeper shark of the family Somniosidae found in the southern Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific oceans. It is known from depths of 400 to 1,100 m. Its length is up to 4.4 m . It feeds primarily on cephalopods, especially the colossal squid, and fish; its stomach contents also less commonly contain remains of marine mammals and birds. Based on its generally sluggish nature and the speed of its prey, it is thought to be an ambush predator. A 3.6-m-long female caught off the coast of Chile had a whole southern right whale dolphin in its stomach. This dogfish is sometimes taken as bycatch in the orange roughy and Patagonian toothfish fisheries; whether this poses a threat to the species is currently unknown.

Christmas Island red crab The Christmas Island Red crab ("Gecarcoidea natalis") is a species of land crab that is endemic to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean. Low numbers are also found on North Keeling Island, thought to be from larvae drifted from Christmas Island and never been observed to breed. Although restricted to a relatively small area, it has been estimated that 43.7 million adult Red crabs once lived on Christmas Island alone, but the accidental introduction of the yellow crazy ant is believed to have killed about 10–15 million of these in recent years. Christmas Island Red crabs are well known for their annual mass migration to the sea to lay their eggs in the ocean.
