The biology and fisheries of the slipper lobster
Written by international experts, The Biology and Fisheries of the Slipper Lobster provides comprehensive coverage of the known biology, ecology, behavior, physiology, evolutionary history, and genetics of the numerous species in the family Scyllaridae. It covers fishing methods and regulations, size and composition of catches, fisheries management, and distribution of those particular species that are targeted species or by-products of other fisheries. The book takes a comparative approach to understanding fisheries in different regions of the world and examines management plans that have failed and those that have succeeded. Illustrations: • Figures of most of the species of slipper lobsters provide a single source for images of scyllarid lobster species. • Distribution maps illustrate global distribution of subfamilies and species. • Photographs of rearing facilities demonstrate the setup needed for larval rearing facilities. • SEM photographs of the mouthparts and digestive system of scyllarids show morphology and physiologyContains summary tables on: • Species, extant and extinct, and life history characters that make it easy to identify differences among existing species. • Life history parameters of larvae, postlarvae (nistos), juveniles, and adults and reproductive parameters of various species for determining differences among species in various life history stages. • Comparison of rearing attempts that demonstrate what works and what does not. • Ecological parameters for various life stages such as depth and habitat, food preferences, predators, and growth. • Sensory organs and appendages that allow easy identification of the sensory structures on various appendages. • Pre- and post-molt growth parameters of scyllarid species Comparative tables provide:
