Abstract:
The districution, abundance, growth, and migration of spiny lobsters, Panulirus argus, in southern Biscayne Bay, Florida, were investigated from 1975 to 1978, using skin and scuba diving techniques and roller frame trawls. Impacts of fishery activities were also documented. The abundance of post-larval to medium sized juvenile P. argus 8.5 to 60mm carapace length (CL), caught in bait shrimp trawls was only one third as great in 1976-78 as it was in 1968-69. ( English )
