Proceedings of the Fourth International Workshop on Lobster Biology and Management, 1993 Proceedings of the Fourth International Workshop on Lobster Biology and Management, 1993 CULTURE OF PHYLLOSOMAS OF SPINY LOBSTER AND ITS APPLICATION TO STUDIES OF LARVAL RECRUITMENT AND AQUACULTURE BY JIRO KITTAKA School of Fisheries Sciences, Kitasato University, Sanriku, Iwate 022-01, Japan ABSTRACT Complete larval development of spiny lobsters in culture has been achieved for cool temperate species, Jasus lalandii (H.Milne Edwards, 1837),Jasus novaehollandiaeHolthuis, 1963, Jasus edwardsii (Hutton, 1875), Jasus verreauxi(H. Milne Edwards, 1851) and Palinuruselephas (Fabricius, 1787), and a warm temperate species, Panulirus japonicus(Von Siebold, 1824) since 1987. A good survival rate of about 10% was obtained for J. verreauxi.The factors important to the successful larval culture were: (1) introduction of microalgae into the culture water, (2) feeding with mussels and (3) supply of water from the bottom of the culture tank to induce a continuous circular current in the tank. The shortest duration of the phyllosoma stage for the above species, respectively, was 306, 319, 212, 197, 132, and 307 days. The number of instars was 17 for Jasus spp., 9 (estimated) for P. elephasand 25 (estimated) for P. japonicus.The shortest duration of the pucrulus stage was 19, 12, and 11days for the above animals, respectively. Jasus verreauximay be suitable because of its potential for a high survival rate. Palinurus elephasis also an interesting possibility because of its short larval life. Duration of the larval stage seems to be species specific. Within a species, it is affected by water temperature and food availability for the phyllosoma but exclusively by water temperature for the puerulus. RÉSUMÉ Le développement larvaire complet de langoustes en élevage a été réalisé depuis 1987 chez des espèces tempérées froides, Jasus lalandii (H. Milne Edwards, 1837), Jasus novaehollandiaeHolthuis, 1963, Jasus edwardsii(Hutton, 1875), Jasus verreauxi(H. Milne Edwards, 1851) et Palinurus elephas (Fabricius, 1787), et une espèce d'eaux tempérées chaudes, Panulirus japonicus(Von Siebold, 1824). Un taux de survie satisfaisant d'environ 10% a été obtenu pour J. verreauxi.Les facteurs importants pour un élevage des larves réussi sont: (1) l'introduction de microalgues dans l'eau d'élevage, (2) l'alimentation à l'aide de moules et (3) l'arrivée d'eau à la base du bac d'élevage, de façon à provoquer un courant d'eau circulaire continu dans le bac. La plus courte durée du stade phyllosome pour les espèces ci-dessus a été, respectivement, 306, 319, 212, 197, 132 et 307 jours. Le nombre de stades a été de 17 chez Jasus spp., de 9 (valeur estimée) chez P. elephaset 25 (valeur estimée) chez P. japonicus.La durée la plus courte du stade puerulus a été 19, 12 et 1 1 jourschez les animaux ci-dessus, respectivement. Jasus verreauxipourrait convenir à l'élevage en raison de son taux de survie élevé. Palinuruselephas constitue également une possibilité intéressante en raison de sa courte vie larvaire. La durée du stade larvaire semble être spécifique. Pour une même espèce, elle est affectée par la température de l'eau et la quantité de nourriture disponible pour la phyllosome mais exclusivement par la température chez le puerulus. 259 INTRODUCTION Japanese appreciate spiny lobster Panulirus japonicus (Von Siebold, 1824) very much. Because of their beautiful features and red colour, they are indispensable as the main seafood for New Year's Day and other celebrations. Their long antennae and bent abdomen symbolize wise old age. Domestic production is about 1,000 tons annually while imports of other spiny lobsters from all over the world have reached about 20 times the domestic catch. Basic research has been extensive on spiny lobster, nevertheless, little is known about some aspects of their biology, particularly their early life history. It has been one of the great mystery stories in marine biology. Aspects of early life history have been elucidated for several species at the Sanriku Campus (fig. 1, table I). This progress has mainly been due to the good environment for scientific research at Sanriku and co-operation with colleagues in various countries. Now, new fields of lobster research have been opened for us. I am sure that we will have a deeper understanding of lobsters within the next years. Here, I would like to describe and explain the culturing process and the biology of larval development of several spiny lobster species. I will discuss the implica- tions of the results obtained to related technologies, especially in aquaculture and to the study of marine ecosystems. Fig. 1.

As against a world average annual productio'n of2.1 lakh tonnes, India's average annual lobster production is about 2000 tonnes. With the distinction of being perhaps, the only seafood resource in India's trade economy, which remains relatively low down the ladder in terms of quantity of production but brings in maximum foreign exchange, lobsters have been the subject of study for more than two decades now.

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.

  • Isles of Scilly Lobster (Homarus Gammarus) and Crawfish (Palinurus Elephas) Tagging Project
    Isles of Scilly lobster (Homarus gammarus) and crawfish (Palinurus elephas) tagging project. Douglas Holt and Daisy Kelly-Fletcher IOSIFCA1601 Executive Summary The Isles of Scilly Inshore fisheries and Conservation Authority began a shellfish monitoring project within the Isles of Scilly district in 2013. This project aimed to study the distribution, reproduction, movement and growth patterns of two large decapod species; the European Common Lobster H.gammarus and the European Crawfish Palinurus elephas, both of which are economically important marine resources to the islands fishing industry. The project, now in its third year, has gathered data on almost 8,000 animals. In 2014 the value of the lobster fishery of the Isles of Scilly was approximately £140,000 and the crawfish fishery was £45,000 (MMO Landing records). Although more valuable per unit at market the crawfish is far less abundant than the lobster within the Isles of Scilly district. Both species are managed by national legislation but there is considerably more protection offered to the European Lobster at a local scale. The Isles of Scilly has one of the few remaining fisheries for the crawfish, which has been declining in abundance since the 1970s. In light of this, the Spiny Lobster was designated in 2013 as a feature of the islands’ MCZ and has been given a ‘recover to favourable condition’ conservation objective as part of scheme. The results of this project show a sustainable level of exploitation for the local lobster populations. Both male and female lobsters were sampled in equal proportions and of those sampled approximately half were returned the fishery.

  • The Utilization of Lobsters by Humans in the Mediterranean Basin from the Prehistoric Era to the Modern Era – an Interdisciplinary Short Review
    Athens Journal of Mediterranean Studies- Volume 1, Issue 3 – Pages 223-234 The Utilization of Lobsters by Humans in the Mediterranean Basin from the Prehistoric Era to the Modern Era – An Interdisciplinary Short Review By Ehud Spanier The Mediterranean and Red Seas host a variety of clawed, spiny and slipper lobsters. Lobsters' utilization in ancient times varied, ranging from complete prohibition by the Jewish religion, to that of epicurean status in the Roman world. One of the earliest known illustrations of a spiny lobster was a wall carving in Egypt depicting the Queen Hatshepsut expedition to the Red Sea in the 15th century BC. Lobsters were known by the ancient Greeks and Romans as was expressed in art forms and writings. Lobsters also appeared in ancient mosaics and coins. The writings of naturalists and philosophers from the Roman-Hellenistic period, together with illustrative records indicate that lobsters were a popular food and there was considerable knowledge of their classification, biology and fisheries. The popularity of lobsters as gourmet food increased with time followed by an expansion of the scientific knowledge as well as over exploitation of these resources. Keywords: Antiquity, Biology, Fisheries, Lobsters, Mediterranean. Introduction A variety of edible lobsters, that are still commercially significant to human inhabitants today, are found in the water of the Mediterranean and adjacent Red Sea regions. This important marine resource includes at least two Mediterranean clawed lobsters (the European lobster, Homarus gammarus, and the Norway lobster, Nephrops norvegicus), five spiny lobsters (two in the Mediterranean: the common spiny lobster, Palinurus elephas, and the pink spiny lobster, P.

Michel Francois Marie Bermudes Abstract The aim of this project was to define more clearly the culture conditions for the propagation of the southern rock lobster (Jasus echvardsii) in relation to environmental bioenergetic constraints. The effects of temperature and photoperiod on the first three stages of development were first studied in small-scale culture experiments. Larvae reared at 18°C developed faster and reached a larger size at stage IV than larvae cultured at 14°C. Development through stage II was shorter under continuous light. However, the pattern of response to photoperiod shifted at stage III when growth was highest in all the light/dark phase treatments than under continuous light. The influence of temperature and light intensity in early-stage larvae was further investigated through behavioural and physiological studies. Results obtained in stages I, II and III larvae indicated an energetic imbalance at high temperature (-22°C).

On the origin and evolution of Antarctic Peracarida (Crustacea, Malacostraca)* ANGELIKA BRANDT Zoological Institute and Zoological Museum, Martin-Luther-King-Platz 3, D-20146 Hamburg, Germany Dedicated to Jürgen Sieg, who silently died in 1996. He inspired this research with his important account of the zoogeography of the Antarctic Tanaidacea. SUMMARY: The early separation of Gondwana and the subsequent isolation of Antarctica caused a long evolutionary his- tory of its fauna. Both, long environmental stability over millions of years and habitat heterogeneity, due to an abundance of sessile suspension feeders on the continental shelf, favoured evolutionary processes of “preadapted“ taxa, like for exam- ple the Peracarida. This taxon performs brood protection and this might be one of the most important reasons why it is very successful (i.e. abundant and diverse) in most terrestrial and aquatic environments, with some species even occupying deserts. The extinction of many decapod crustaceans in the Cenozoic might have allowed the Peracarida to find and use free ecological niches. Therefore the palaeogeographic, palaeoclimatologic, and palaeo-hydrographic changes since the Palaeocene (at least since about 60 Ma ago) and the evolutionary success of some peracarid taxa (e.g. Amphipoda, Isopo- da) led to the evolution of many endemic species in the Antarctic. Based on a phylogenetic analysis of the Antarctic Tanaidacea, Sieg (1988) demonstrated that the tanaid fauna of the Antarctic is mainly represented by phylogenetically younger taxa, and data from other crustacean taxa led Sieg (1988) to conclude that the recent Antarctic crustacean fauna must be comparatively young.

Marine Spatial Ecology Lab and Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, School of Biological Sciences, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD 4072, Australia Key Terms Ecosystem services Sustainable Development Goals Valuation InVEST South Africa Abstract With over 1 billion people currently relying on the services provided by marine ecosystems – e.g. food, fibre and coastal protection – governments, scientists and international bodies are searching for innovative research to support decision-makers in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Valuing past and present ecosystem services allows investigation into how different scenarios impact the SDGs, such as economic growth, sustainability, poverty and equity among stakeholders. This paper investigates the past and current value of the lobster fishery located in the Table Mountain National Park Marine Protected Area. It then uses InVEST to highlight future changes under different scenarios. While we found a significant decline in fishery value over the next ten years under all three scenarios, the exclusion of large-scale fisheries from the marine protected area seems to yield the most positive results in regard to South Africa’s SDG commitments. This scenario has the potential to generate approximately 50% more revenue, while also producing the highest available protein to local communities, highest quantity of spawners and highest economic distribution to small-scale fisheries.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Palinurus elephas and Palinurus mauritanicus are the only species of the family Palinuridae that occur in the Northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean. Of the two, Palinurus elephas is the most abundant and accessible and has traditionally been the preferred target of lobster fisheries throughout its range. Palinurus mauritanicus has a deeper distri- bution and has been an important target of fisheries mainly in the Central Eastern Atlantic. The high unit value and the rel- ative scarcity of these species have been important obstacles to research and knowledge of their biology, ecology and fish- eries is limited. Nevertheless, over time a considerable number of studies has been conducted, though most of these are contained in university theses or in publications of limited circulation. This review is an up-to-date overview of available knowledge on the biology, ecology and fisheries of the two spiny lobster species of European waters.
