The status of the California spiny lobster resource
California spiny lobsters, Panulirus interruptus, are the object of intense fisheries prosecuted by both commercial and sport fishermen in California. Recent evidence indicates that the resource may be declining, and an investigation of the population dynamics is needed. It is recommended that the investigation assess the magnitude of the fishery, identify population units and investigate the adequacy of existing gear regulations. (14pp.)
