The ecology of spiny lobsters, Panulirus spp., of Ceylon waters

Six species of spiny lobsters of the genus Panulirus have been recorded in Ceylon waters. It is clear, therefore, that species dominance and ecological separation in the genus Panulirus is demonstrable and that the separation is dependent on the particular ecological preferences of the different species. In order to determine the factors governing the ecological separation, it was decided to make a detailed study of the environments in which the different species were found. Diving operations constituted the chief method of investigation. However, information was also obtained from commercial skin-divers, trap fishermen, bottom-set net fishermen and trawling operations. The period of investigations extended from 1962-1968.
