Effects of Cymatocarpus solearis (Trematoda: Brachycoeliidae) on its second intermediate host, the Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
Many digenean trematodes require three hosts to complete their life cycle. For Cymatocarpus solearis (Brachycoeliidae), the first intermediate host is unknown; the Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus is a second intermediate host, and the loggerhead ...

The metabolic underpinnings of temperature-dependent predation in a key marine predator

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
IntroductionChanges in temperature can fundamentally transform how species interact, causing wholesale shifts in ecosystem dynamics and stability. Yet we still have a limited understanding of how temperature-dependence in physiology drives temperature ...

Shelter use interactions of invasive lionfish with commercially and ecologically important native invertebrates on Caribbean coral reefs.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Indo-Pacific lionfish have become invasive throughout the western Atlantic. Their predatory effects have been the focus of much research and are suggested to cause declines in native fish abundance and diversity across the invaded range.

Gastrointestinal Microbiota of Spiny Lobster: A Review

open access: yesFishes, 2022
The gastrointestinal (GI) microbiota is a group of complex and dynamic microorganisms present in the GI tract of an organism that live in symbiosis with the host and benefit the host with various biological functions. The communities of GI microbiota are

Diversity and Distribution of Mid- to Late-Stage Phyllosomata of Spiny and Slipper Lobsters (Decapoda: Achelata) in the Mexican Caribbean

open access: yesDiversity, 2021
Achelata (Palinuridae and Scyllaridae) have a flat, transparent, long-lived planktonic larva called phyllosoma, which comprises multiple stages and has a duration from a few weeks (some scyllarids) to >20 months (some palinurids).

Improving Survival of Juvenile Scalloped Spiny Lobster (Panulirus homarus) and Crucifix Crab (Charybdis feriatus) Using Shelter and Live Prey

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
Cannibalism is a major problem in lobster and crab aquaculture. Reducing the aggressive characteristics of lobsters and crabs can improve survival during the culturing process.

Diversification of cephalic shield shape and antenna in phyllosoma I of slipper and spiny lobsters (Decapoda: Achelata)

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Slipper (Scyllaridae) and spiny (Palinuridae) lobsters show a complex life cycle with a planktonic larval phase, named phyllosoma. This unique larval form within Achelata (Decapoda) is characterized by a transparent dorsoventrally compressed body and a ...

Mechanisms underlying the production of carapace vibrations and associated waterborne sounds in the American lobster, Homarus americanus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
American lobsters produce carapace vibrations, which also lead to waterborne acoustic signals, by simultaneously contracting the antagonistic remotor and promotor muscles located at the base of the second antenna.

Effectiveness of the Food-Safe Anaesthetic Isobutanol in the Live Transport of Tropical Spiny Lobster Species

open access: yesFishes, 2022
The strong demand for live spiny lobsters in Asian markets is being met by long-distance airfreight. Holding lobsters out of water during transportation often results in mortalities due to the accumulation of metabolites, especially ammonia.

Carotenoid Pigments of Spiny Lobster

open access: yesNIPPON SUISAN GAKKAISHI, 1973
The carotenoid pigments of the carapace, eggs, hepatopancreas and exuviae of spiny lobster, Panulirus japonicas, were investigated. The following nine carotenoid pigments as free or esterified forms were identified from the carapace: β-carotene, echinenone, canthaxanthin, phoenicoxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin, cynthiaxanthin, 4-keto-zeaxanthin (30%) and ...
