Serum lipoproteins in the spiny lobster, Panulirus interruptus

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1978
1. Most of the lipids in the hemolymph of the spiny lobster, Panulirus interruptus, were associated with a high density lipoprotein (HDL3). The lipid of this lipoprotein was composed of phospholipid (88%), sterol (4%) and triglyceride (3%). 2. In animals fed 14C-labeled triglyceride radioactivity was not seen in the serum until 12 hr after feeding ...

CULTURE POTENTIAL OF SPINY LOBSTER

Proceedings of the annual workshop - World Mariculture Society, 1973
ABSTRACTIt is possible to raise the spiny lobster (Panulirus argus) in captivity from the late pueruli stage to cmercial size (790 to 900 g) in approximately 3 to 4 years. The pueruli collected in inshore waters usually undergo two moltings and metamorphose into postlarvae.

True navigation and magnetic maps in spiny lobsters

Nature, 2003
Animals are capable of true navigation if, after displacement to a location where they have never been, they can determine their position relative to a goal without relying on familiar surroundings, cues that emanate from the destination, or information collected during the outward journey.

Spiny lobsters stick and slip to make sound

Nature, 2001
These crustaceans can scare off predators even when their usual armour turns soft. Many arthropods are able to produce pulsed sounds by rubbing a hard pick over stiff macroscopic ridges1, rather like dragging a stick over a washboard. Spiny lobsters (Palinuridae) also make pulsed sounds, and here I show that they generate these by virtue of a ...

Comparative Sociobiology of Spiny Lobsters

2007
AbstractSpiny lobsters show a wide range of social behaviors along a continuum from solitary asocial species to highly gregarious social species. Phylogenetic comparative analysis of social condition was unable to determine if the spiny lobster common ancestor was social or asocial, but suggests that several modern asocial taxa may have evolved from ...

Early Life History of Spiny Lobster

Crustaceana, 1994
Spiny (rock) lobsters are the basis of important fisheries in all of the world's major oceans. We synthesize current information on their early life history from a variety of biological disciplines and draw conclusions about the significance of this phase in the ecology of the group.

Studies on materials for traps for spiny lobsters

Fisheries Research, 1985
Abstract Studies were conducted along the south-west coast of India in order to identify suitable materials and preservative treatments for the fabrication of spiny-lobster traps. Traps were fabricated in different designs using different materials, such as bamboo splinters, coconut leaf stalk fibres, wood, polyethylene twines, Polystrap binding tape,

Bioeconomics of Spiny Lobster Farming in Indonesia

2012
Spiny lobster puerulus settlements have recently been found in bays in Lombok, Indonesia, leading to the development of lobster grow-out culture in adjacent areas. This research suggests that lobster farming in Indonesia is a viable alternative livelihood for Indonesian fishers.

Spiny lobster relies on clam chemosynthesis

C&EN Global Enterprise, 2016
Spiny lobsters have landed on many a dinner plate, but now scientists have found that the tasty crustaceans have a peculiar dining preference of their own. These Caribbean lobsters eat clams that get their energy from bacterial chemical reactions that are a common feature of deep-sea vent creatures.

Sperm economy and limitation in spiny lobsters

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 1999
Sperm limitation, when female fertilisation success is constrained by the supply of sperm, is generally perceived to be an uncommon feature of reproduction in species which directly transfer gametes during copulation. Male size, previous copulations, and the balance of expected reproductive return and future mating opportunity may, however, limit the ...
