Haven't heard this in Tokpisin, but I'll risk humiliation and speculate
that it might be borrowed from Austronesian languages, in which
crayfish-lobster varieties are sometimes referred to as ura/ula 
(S.E.coast PNG, eg). (Help from real linguists and seafood experts
needed here!) 

Did we ever solve the "asidua" mystery?
