Determining the lipid content and fatty acid (FA) composition of aquatic organisms has been
of major interest in trophic ecology, aquaculture, and nutrition for over half a century …

A review of the early life history of spiny lobsters was made by Booth and Phillips (1994) and
this review focuses on information which has become available since that time. It also …

Assessing the trophic role and interaction of an animal is key to understanding its general
ecology and dynamics. Conventional techniques used to elucidate diet, such as stomach …

The Western Australian rock lobster fishery has been both a highly productive and
sustainable fishery. However, a recent dramatic and unexplained decline in post-larval …

Spiny lobsters are highly valuable seafood species that are captured and marketed in more
than 90 countries. After more than 30 years of stable catches, spiny lobster fisheries in many …

Fatty acid signature analysis (FASA) is a powerful ecological tool that uses essential fatty
acids (FA) from the tissues of animals to indicate aspects of diet. However, the presence of …

We examined biochemical changes accompanying feeding and starvation from hatch to
Stage VI (day 74 after hatch) in spiny lobster, Jasus edwardsii, phyllosoma larvae. Larval dry …

The closed‐cycle rearing of palinurid lobsters in commercially relevant quantities currently
represents one of the most difficult challenges facing modern‐day aquaculture. The length …

The effect of water temperature on the survival, growth, respiration, apparent feed intake and
activity of Sagmariasus verreauxi phyllosoma during early, mid and late larval development …

The diet of Jasus edwardsii during its~ 2-year larval (phyllosoma) phase is largely unknown.
High mortalities experienced during larviculture might be reduced if their diet were …
