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.

DOI: 10.3856/vol37-issue3-fulltext-21 Short Communication Note on the fisheries and biology of the golden crab (Chaceon fenneri) off the northern coast of Brazil Tiago Barros Carvalho1, Ronaldo Ruy de Oliveira Filho1 & Tito Monteiro da Cruz Lotufo1 1Laboratório de Ecologia Animal, Instituto de Ciências do Mar (LABOMAR) Universidade Federal do Ceará, Av. Abolição 3207, CEP 60165-081, Fortaleza, CE, Brazil ABSTRACT. The occurrence of golden crabs (Chaceon fenneri) off the northern coast of Brazil was first re- ported in 2001. Since then, a few companies and boats have exploited this resource. In the state of Ceará, one company has been fishing for these crabs with a single boat since 2003. The production and fishing effort of this company indicated a decrease in the number of trips and total catches per year. Data collected on one trip in 2006 showed that the CPUE was highest at over 650 m depth. As registered for other geryonid crabs, C. fenneri was segregated by sex along the northern slope of Brazil. Male crabs were significantly larger than fe- males, presenting an isometric relationship between carapace width and length and an allometric relationship between carapace width and body weight. Keywords: biology, fishery, Chaceon fenneri, golden crab, Geryonidae, Brazil. Nota sobre la biología y la pesca del cangrejo dorado (Chaceon fenneri) frente a la costa norte de Brasil RESUMEN.
