Abstract: The effects of sex, injuries, season and site on the growth of the spiny lobsters Panulirus gracilis, and P. inflatus, were studied through mark-recapture techniques in two sites with different ecological characteristics on the coast of Guerrero, México. Panulirus gracilis occurred in both sites, whereas P. inflatus occurred only in one site. All recaptured individuals were adults. Both species had similar intermolt periods, but P. gracilis had significantly higher growth rates (mm carapace length week-1) than P. inflatus as a result of a larger molt incre- ment. Growth rates of males were higher than those of females in both species owing to larger molt increments and shorter intermolt periods in males. Injuries had no effect on growth rates in either species. Individuals of P. gracilis grew faster in site 1 than in site 2. Therefore, the effect of season on growth of P. gracilis was analyzed separately in each site. In site 2, growth rates of P. gracilis were similar in summer and in winter, whereas in site 1 both species had higher growth rates in winter than in summer.

San Diego, CA 92123 ph: (858) 534-7284 Bodega Bay, CA 94923-0247 [email protected] ABSTRACT The California spiny lobster (Panulirus interruptus) population is the basis for a valuable commercial and recreational fishery off southern California, yet little is known about its population dynamics. Studies based on CalCOFI sampling in the 1950s indicated that the abun- dance of phyllosoma larvae may be sensitive to ocean- ographic conditions such as El Niño events. To further study the potential influence of environmental variabil- ity and the fishery on lobster productivity, we developed a 60-year time series of the abundance of lobster phyl- losoma from the historical CalCOFI sample collection. Phyllosoma were removed from the midsummer cruises when the early-stage larvae are most abundant in the plankton nearshore. We found that the abundance of the early-stage phyllosoma displayed considerable inter- annual variability but was significantly positively corre- Figure 1.

  • Growth of Tissues Related to Haemolymph Copper Throughout the Moult Cycle of the Lobster Homarus Gammarus
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 247: 165–172, 2003 Published February 4 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Growth of tissues related to haemolymph copper throughout the moult cycle of the lobster Homarus gammarus Massimo Devescovi*, >edomil Lucu Rud-er Bo$kovi´c Institute, Center for Marine Research, G. Paliaga 5, 52210 Rovinj, Croatia ABSTRACT: The relationship between tissue weights and haemolymph copper levels in field- collected European lobsters Homarus gammarus was investigated to assess whether haemolymph copper concentration can be used to reliably determine nutritional condition in lobsters. During the moult cycle, the soft tissue weight (mostly muscle) increased concomitantly with a decrease in haemolymph weight while exoskeleton weight increased from postmoult to intermoult. Haemolymph copper concentration gradually increased from postmoult to premoult with a range of 29.7 (Stage B) to –1 163.5 µg g wet weight (ww) (Stage D0). Our measurements suggest that the main processes that in- crease haemolymph copper concentration is a reduction in haemolymph space and an increase in haemolymph copper content, indicating synthesis of new haemocyanin for the oxygen supply of grow- ing tissues. During the moult cycle, haemolymph copper content was proportional to soft tissue mass and amounted to 43.6 µg Cu g–1 of soft-tissue ww (95% confidence limits = 35.5 and 51.6 µg g–1). Models for estimating soft-tissue and haemolymph wet weights from the haemolymph copper con- centration and moult stage are presented. The use of haemolymph copper concentration as an index of nutritional condition reflecting tissue growth and food quantity and quality is validated. KEY WORDS: European lobster · Exoskeleton · Haemolymph · Muscle · Soft tissues · Haemocyanin · Copper requirement · Condition index Resale or republication not permitted without written consent of the publisher INTRODUCTION muscle weight is correlated to haemolymph protein concentration.

  • Taxonomy, Biology and Distribution of Lobsters
    Taxonomy, Biology and Distribution of Lobsters 15 Rekha Devi Chakraborty and E.V.Radhakrishnan Crustacean Fisheries Division, Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Kochi-682 018 Lobsters are among the most prized of fisheries resources and of significant commercial interest in many countries. Because of their high value and esteemed culinary worth, much attention has been paid to lobsters in biological, fisheries, and systematic literature. They have a great demand in the domestic market as a delicacy and is a foreign exchange earner for the country. Taxonomic status Phylum: Arthropoda Subphylum: Crustacea Class: Malacostraca Subclass: Eumalacostraca Superorder: Eucarida Order: Decapoda Suborder: Macrura Reptantia The suborder Macrura Reptantia consists of three infraorders: Astacidea (Marine lobsters and freshwater crayfishes), Palinuridea (Spiny lobsters and slipper lobsters) and Thalassinidea (mud lobsters). The infraorder Astacidea Summer School on Recent Advances in Marine Biodiversity Conservation and Management 100 Rekha Devi Chakraborty and E.V.Radhakrishnan contains three superfamilies of which only one (the Infraorder Palinuridea, Superfamily Eryonoidea, Family Nephropoidea) is considered here. The remaining two Polychelidae superfamilies (Astacoidea and parastacoidea) contain the 1b. Third pereiopod never with a true chela,in most groups freshwater crayfishes. The superfamily Nephropoidea (40 chelae also absent from first and second pereiopods species) consists almost entirely of commercial or potentially 3a Antennal flagellum reduced to a single broad and flat commercial species. segment, similar to the other antennal segments ..... Infraorder Palinuridea, Superfamily Palinuroidea, The infraorder Palinuridea also contains three superfamilies Family Scyllaridae (Eryonoidea, Glypheoidea and Palinuroidea) all of which are 3b Antennal flagellum long, multi-articulate, flexible, whip- marine. The Eryonoidea are deepwater species of insignificant like, or more rigid commercial interest.

  • Large Spiny Lobsters Reduce the Catchability of Small Conspecifics
    Vol. 666: 99–113, 2021 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published May 20 https://doi.org/10.3354/meps13695 Mar Ecol Prog Ser OPEN ACCESS Size matters: large spiny lobsters reduce the catchability of small conspecifics Emma-Jade Tuffley1,2,3,*, Simon de Lestang2, Jason How2, Tim Langlois1,3 1School of Biological Sciences, The University of Western Australia, 35 Stirling Highway, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia 2Aquatic Science and Assessment, Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, 39 Northside Drive, Hillarys, WA 6025, Australia 3The UWA Oceans Institute, Indian Ocean Marine Research Centre, Cnr. of Fairway and Service Road 4, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia ABSTRACT: Indices of lobster abundance and population demography are often derived from pot catch rate data and rely upon constant catchability. However, there is evidence in clawed lobsters, and some spiny lobsters, that catchability is affected by conspecifics present in pots, and that this effect is sex- and size-dependent. For the first time, this study investigated this effect in Panulirus cyg nus, an economically important spiny lobster species endemic to Western Australia. Three studies: (1) aquaria trials, (2) pot seeding experiments, and (3) field surveys, were used to investi- gate how the presence of large male and female conspecifics influence catchability in smaller, immature P. cygnus. Large P. cygnus generally reduced the catchability of small conspecifics; large males by 26−33% and large females by 14−27%. The effect of large females was complex and varied seasonally, dependent on the sex of the small lobster. Conspecific-related catchability should be a vital consideration when interpreting the results of pot-based surveys, especially if population demo graphy changes.

  • A New Pathogenic Virus in the Caribbean Spiny Lobster Panulirus Argus from the Florida Keys
    DISEASES OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS Vol. 59: 109–118, 2004 Published May 5 Dis Aquat Org A new pathogenic virus in the Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus from the Florida Keys Jeffrey D. Shields1,*, Donald C. Behringer Jr2 1Virginia Institute of Marine Science, The College of William & Mary, Gloucester Point, Virginia 23062, USA 2Department of Biological Sciences, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia 23529, USA ABSTRACT: A pathogenic virus was diagnosed from juvenile Caribbean spiny lobsters Panulirus argus from the Florida Keys. Moribund lobsters had characteristically milky hemolymph that did not clot. Altered hyalinocytes and semigranulocytes, but not granulocytes, were observed with light microscopy. Infected hemocytes had emarginated, condensed chromatin, hypertrophied nuclei and faint eosinophilic Cowdry-type-A inclusions. In some cases, infected cells were observed in soft con- nective tissues. With electron microscopy, unenveloped, nonoccluded, icosahedral virions (182 ± 9 nm SD) were diffusely spread around the inner periphery of the nuclear envelope. Virions also occurred in loose aggregates in the cytoplasm or were free in the hemolymph. Assembly of the nucleocapsid occurred entirely within the nucleus of the infected cells. Within the virogenic stroma, blunt rod-like structures or whorls of electron-dense granular material were apparently associated with viral assembly. The prevalence of overt infections, defined as lethargic animals with milky hemolymph, ranged from 6 to 8% with certain foci reaching prevalences of 37%. The disease was transmissible to uninfected lobsters using inoculations of raw hemolymph from infected animals. Inoculated animals became moribund 5 to 7 d before dying and they began dying after 30 to 80 d post-exposure.
