متن کاملSpiny Lobster Recruitment in South Florida: Quantitative Experiments and Management Implications
Understanding recruitment and identifying factors critical to that process are imperative if adult spiny lobster Panulirus argus stocks are to be conserved and properly managed. The goal of our research has been to obtain ecological infonnation linking inshore postlarval spiny lobster recruiunent to later life stages, lhereby providing the basic framework for assessing and predicting adult stoc...
متن کاملNeurolipofuscin is a measure of age in Panulirus argus, the Caribbean spiny lobster, in Florida.
Accurate age estimates for Panulirus argus, the commercially important Caribbean spiny lobster, would greatly enhance life history and population analyses. Most age approximations of P. argus are based on size and growth data, but size is generally considered a poor proxy for age of crustaceans in the field because of numerous environmental, density-dependent, and fishery-related factors. An es...
متن کاملNeurolipofuscin is a Measure of Age in the Caribbean Spiny Lobster, Panulirus argus, in Florida
Accurate age estimates for the commerciallyimportant Caribbean spiny lobster, Panulirus argus, would greatly enhance analyses of life history and population dynamics. Previous estimates of their age based on size and growth may be inaccurate because of variable growth in the wild. An established technique for aging crustaceans – histologically-determined lipofuscin content in the nervous system...
متن کاملBehavioral responses to variable predation risk in the California spiny lobster Panulirus interruptus
Shelter dwelling and gregariousness are behavioral strategies used by benthic marine organisms to reduce the risk of predator-induced mortality. For spiny lobsters, the relative and synergistic success of shelter dwelling and aggregation in reducing mortality may vary with the perceived risk of predation as well as the availability and size distribution of conspecifics and shelters. We tested h...
