Ecological and physiological effects of PaV1 infection on the Caribbean spiny lobster (Panulirus argus Latreille)
Pathogens can profoundly impact the ecology of the organisms they infect through changes in host behavior that influence demographic processes. For example, juvenile Caribbean spiny lobsters (Panulirus argus Latreille) infected with the PaV1 virus (Panulirus argus Virus 1) are avoided by their normally social conspecifics, which alters local spatial distributions and presumably rates of disease...
متن کاملDecadal variability in growth of the Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus (Decapoda: Paniluridae) in Cuban waters.
Annual von Bertalanffy growth parameters of the Caribbean spiny lobster (Panulirus argus) in Cuban waters were estimated from a long term study (40 years) by length-based methods ELEFAN and the new version of SLCA. Data of around 800 000 lobsters (with carapace length ranging 14 to 199mm) were randomly sampled in artificial shelters (a non selective fishing gear very common in the lobster fishe...
متن کاملPrimary culture of hemocytes from the Caribbean spiny lobster, Panulirus argus, and their susceptibility to Panulirus argus Virus 1 (PaV1).
Primary cultures of hemocytes from the Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus were developed for studies on the in vitro propagation of Panulirus argus Virus 1 (PaV1). A modified Leibovitz L-15 medium supported the best survival of hemocytes in in vitro primary cultures. However, degradation of the cultures occurred rapidly in the presence of granulocytes. A Percoll step gradient was used to s...
متن کاملThe non-extractive economic value of spiny lobster, Panulirus argus, in the Turks and Caicos Islands
Increases in spiny lobster size and abundance have been observed within some marine protected areas (MPAs). To date, the potential economic benefits of these changes have been assumed to derive from the effects of emigration of adult lobster to adjacent fishing grounds and/or increased larval export to downstream nurseries that sustain fisheries. According to economic theory, these effects may ...
متن کاملThe sensory basis of feeding behaviour in the Caribbean spiny lobster, Panulirus argus
A complex nervous system enables spiny lobsters to have a rich behavioural repertoire. The present paper discusses the ways in which the sensory systems of the Caribbean spiny lobster, Panulirus argus , particularly its chemosensory systems, are involved in feeding behaviour. It addresses the neural mechanisms of three aspects of their food-finding ability: detection, identification, and discri...
