This book is an important addition to the knowledge of lobster
research. The book complements other books published on lobster
research and management as it focuses on Indian lobster fisheries
and aquaculture developments where there have been nearly 350
research papers and reports and 19 PhD awards. The book has 15
chapters written by international experts covering many aspects of
the biology of a number of spiny and slipper lobster species
occurring in India and world oceans with maps illustrating global
distribution of spiny lobster families, genera and species. An
updated taxonomy and checklist of marine lobsters, the status and
management of lobster fisheries in India and Indian Ocean Rim
countries and a review of aquaculture research in India and other
major countries have also been presented. The book is timely as the
2nd International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE) is currently
underway (2015-2020), 50 years after the original IIOE (1959-1965),
with some of the original lobster research on the biology and
distribution of phyllosoma larvae being undertaken on the plankton
samples collected during the first IIOE. Many of the chapters are
contributed by the authors from Central Marine Fisheries Research
Institute (CMFRI), which has been collecting fishery and biological
data on lobsters since 1950 when lobster fishing began on a
subsistence scale, followed by some industrial fishing for lobsters
in different parts of India. Unfortunately, the development of some
of these lobster fisheries was followed by overfishing due to lack
of enforcement of regulations. The book provides a valuable
addition to our knowledge of the biology, fisheries and aquaculture
of spiny and slipper lobsters.
