This two-volume work presents a summary and review of the current
state of lobster biology, ecology, physiology, behavior, and
management. It emphasizes the biology of clawed lobsters
(Nephropidae) and spiny lobsters (Palinuridae), with attention also
given to slipper lobsters (Scyllaridae) and coral lobsters
(Synaxidae).
The first chapter of Volume 1 provides an overview of the general
aspects of lobster biology that serves as an introduction for
readers of both volumes. Subsequent chapters examine the topics of
growth, neurobiology, reproduction, nutrition, pathology, social
behavior, and migration patterns.
The chapters in Volume II consider the ecology, population
dynamics, fishery biology, and aquaculture of spiny and clawed
lobsters. The topics selected in both volumes represent areas of
current research whose findings have not been previously
synthesized into a coherent form.
An important feature of these volumes is the emphasis on the
interaction between biology and management and culture. Many of the
contributors have done research in both applied and basic biology
and can articulate both points of view. The interaction between
basic and applied research is of fundamental importance in these
volumes in which management aspects of the research have been
integrated with the basic biology of lobsters.
The Biology and Management of Lobsterswill be of interest to
crustacean biologists, marine biologists and ecologists,
zoologists, physiologists, animal behavior researchers,
aquaculturalists, fisheries biologists and managers of fisheries,
neurobiologists, pathologists, and food scientists.
