All rights reserved Some Preliminary Findings on the Nutritional Status of the Hawaiian Spiny Lobster (Panulirus marginatus)l FRANK A. PARRISH2 AND THERESA L. MARTINELLI-LIEDTKE3 ABSTRACT: Data on the nutritional status of spiny lobster (Panulirus margin­ atus) were collected on the commercial trapping grounds of Necker Bank, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, in the summers of 1991, 1994, and 1995. Gly­ cogen levels measured in abdominal tissue of intermolt males were used as an index of nutritional health of the field population. The range of glycogen sampled from wild lobster was less than half the level measured in captive lob­ ster fed to satiation in a previous study. An analysis ofcovariance identified sig­ nificant interannual and spatial effects explaining 46% of the variance in the sample ofwild lobsters. Most significant was a decline in lobster glycogen levels between samples collected in 1991 and 1994-1995. Seasonal influences on lob­ ster nutrition are unknown and were identified as an obvious direction for future ecological research.

Boudreau*, Boris Worm Biology Department, Dalhousie University, 1355 Oxford Street, PO Box 15000, Halifax, Nova Scotia B3H 4R2, Canada ABSTRACT: Large benthic decapods play an increasingly important role in commercial fisheries worldwide, yet their roles in the marine ecosystem are less well understood. A synthesis of exist- ing evidence for 4 infraorders of large benthic marine decapods, Brachyura (true crabs), Anomura (king crabs), Astacidea (clawed lobsters) and Achelata (clawless lobsters), is presented here to gain insight into their ecological roles and possible ecosystem effects of decapod fisheries. The reviewed species are prey items for a wide range of invertebrates and vertebrates. They are omnivorous but prefer molluscs and crustaceans as prey. Experimental studies have shown that decapods influence the structuring of benthic habitat, occasionally playing a keystone role by sup- pressing herbivores or space competitors. Indirectly, via trophic cascades, they can contribute to the maintenance of kelp forest, marsh grass, and algal turf habitats. Changes in the abundance of their predators can strongly affect decapod population trends. Commonly documented non- consumptive interactions include interference-competition for food or shelter, as well as habitat provision for other invertebrates. Anthropogenic factors such as exploitation, the creation of pro- tected areas, and species introductions influence these ecosystem roles by decreasing or increas- ing decapod densities, often with measurable effects on prey communities.

  • The Spiny Lobster (Panulirus Argus) in the Wider Caribbean: a Review of Life Cycle Dynamics and Implications for Responsible Fisheries Management
    The Spiny Lobster (Panulirus argus) in the Wider Caribbean: A Review of Life Cycle Dynamics and Implications for Responsible Fisheries Management RAÚL CRUZ 1 and RODNEY D. BERTELSEN 2 1Centro de Investigaciones Marinas, Universidad de la Habana, Calle 16 #114 entre 1era y 3era, Playa, Miramar, Cuba. 2Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Florida Marine Research Institute, 2796 Overseas Highway, #119, Marathon, Florida 33050, USA ABSTRACT The spiny lobster Panulirus argus (Latreille, 1804) is the most important fishery resource in the western central Atlantic and north-eastern Brazil. The complex life cycle has been studied over the last 50 years in five locations in the wider Caribbean: Cuba archipelago, Florida Keys, Bermuda, Mexico and Brazil. Field studies have increased our understanding of variations in the reproductive season by location and depth, size at first maturity, fecundity, and relative magnitude of egg production as indicated by an index of reproductive potential. This review of the life cycle dynamics of spiny lobster suggests that new regulatory measures for the western Atlantic population should be adopted to increase the reproductive potential and ensure sustainable recruitment. A regional focus is therefore needed in investigations of the life cycle and the fisheries to assist in improving responsible fisheries management KEY WORDS: Panulirus argus, life cycle, reproduction, Caribbean La Langosta Espinosa (Panulirus argus) en el Gran Caribe: Una Revisión de la Dinámica del Ciclo de Vida e Implicaciones en el Manejo Responsable de la Pesquería La langosta espinosa Panulirus argus (Latreille, 1804) es el recurso pesquero más importante en el Atlántico centro occidental y en el nordeste del Brasil.

  • Spiny Lobster
    CHAPTER 17 Spiny Lobster C. Roland Pitcher I. INTRODUCTION Lobsters are in great demand, particularly for the restaurants of such wealthy nations as the United States and Japan, which are major importers of lobsters and lobster products. Consequently, lobsters are a high-value commodity and stocks of lobsters of all types are exploited around the world. Most stocks are fully exploited - possibly even overexploited - and very few stocks are underexploited. But demand continues to grow, as does world production although it can not keep pace with demand; thus, prices have tended to increase or, at least, remain high. The high value and marketability of lobsters, together with their simple harvest technology, live-storage potential and the durability conferred by the hard exoskeleton, make them attractive for fishery development in tropical Pacific nations (Prescott, 1988). In spite of this, the production of lobsters by Pacific Islands nations is relatively small (Table I), largely because of the small area of suitable shallow water habitat and low productivity of the tropical oceans. Two species of spiny lobster (family Palinuridae) support significant fisher­ ies in the tropical south-western Pacific (Prescott, 1988). The double-spined lobster, Panulinis penicillatus (Olivier) is the most widespread and most commonly fished lobster in the region. It supports an annual harvest of about 150 to 300 t whole weight. The ornate spiny lobster, Panulinis ornatus (Fabricius), is found mainly on continental shelf areas of the larger islands and continents, particularly in north-eastern Australia and south-western Papua New Guinea, where annual harvests range from 450 to 1100 t whole weight.

Partial nucleotide sequences of mitochondrial DNA COI (1,142–1,207 bp) and 16S rDNA (535–546 bp) regions were determined for adult and phyllosoma larval samples collected from the Eastern Pacific (EP)(Gala´pagos Islands and its adjacent water), Central Pacific (CP)(Hawaii and Tuamotu) and the Western Pacific (WP)(Japan, Indonesia, Fiji, New Caledonia and Australia). Phylogenetic analyses revealed two distinct large clades corresponding to the geographic origin of samples (EP and CP+WP). No haplotype was shared between the two regional samples, and average nucleotide sequence divergence (Kimura’s two parameter distance) between EP and CP+WP samples was 3.860.5% for COI and 1.060.4% for 16S rDNA, both of which were much larger than those within samples.

  • Queuing Behavior of the Hawaiian Spiny Lobster <I>Panulirus
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 35(1): 111-114, 1984 QUEUING BEHAVIOR OF THE HAWAIIAN SPINY LOBSTER PANULIRUS MARGINATUS Craig D, MacDonald, Stanley C. Jazwinski and James H. Prescott Queuing behavior of spiny lobsters consists of highly stereotyped single file formations and is best known for the western Atlantic species Panu/irus argus (Herrnkind and Cummings, 1964; Hernkind, 1969; 1977; 1980; Herrnkind and McLean, 1971, Herrnkind et a1., 1973; Herrnkind and Kanciruk, 1978; Berrill, 1975; Bill and Herrnkind, 1976; Kanciruk and Herrnkind, 1976; 1978; Davis and Dodrill, 1980). Queuing in P. argus generally is reported in the context of extensive linear formations of up to 65 individuals that assemble inshore during a seasonal migratory phase and which move offshore. Returning queues have not been reported. The queues are noncommuna1, gregarious groups in which rela- tionships between consecutive individuals are established continually as old ones are dropped and as group membership shifts (Herrnkind et a1., 1973). However, P. argus also forms short, aseasonal queues of just a few individuals in situations such as when deprived of shelter (Herrnkind, 1969), and when two or more individuals encounter one another over open bottom during the day (Berrill, 1975). Although there are 49 extant species of spiny lobsters (Phillips et al., 1980), heretofore queuing is described only in one species. Here we record observations. of queuing in a nonmigratory lobster species, P. marginatus (Quoy and Gaimard, 1825) in Hawaii. TIME SPENT IN OBSERVATIONS The apportionment of total diver-hours of observation by die1 period and geographic location during 1977-1982 is summarized in Table 1.

An analysis of commercial harvest data confirms that the fishery was landing near- record catches in the late-2000s through early-2010s. Advances in recreational fishing technology likely tempered commercial fishery landings per unit effort. The commercial catch per trap pulled declined 15%, on average, in years after the introduction of a new rigid-style hoop net in the recreational fishery.

The recommended regulations in the Kīpahulu Moku Proposal and Management Plan represent a positive step toward perpetuating critically important public trust resources, while recognizing the traditional and customary practices and subsistence lifestyles unique to Kīpahulu. The proposed rules formalize a “code of conduct” that can guide the harvesting practices of all who may seek to gather nearshore resources in the waters of Kīpahulu moku.

We studied the suitability of several anticoagulant- and hemocyte-maintaining solutions in the spiny lobster Panulirus argus (Latreille, 1804), with emphasis in the preservation of hemocyte number and viability. It was found that the modified Alsever solution was the ideal anticoagulant, while modified L-15 medium and Panulirus argus saline (PAS) were the best hemocyte-maintaining solutions. Hemolymph volume average in P. argus was 10.5% of fresh body weight (more than 50 ml per adult individual), which makes this species an attractive model for functional studies of hemolymph components in crustaceans.
