Stage I phyllosoma larvae of the spiny lobster Panulirus ornatus hatch in tropical oceanic
waters with limited and variable food resources. To better understand how these larvae cope …

While there is considerable interest in aquaculture of spiny lobsters (Palinuridae), limited
knowledge of nutritional requirements during early life stages remains a major impediment …

The impact of starvation on the digestive enzyme (protease, trypsin, lipase and amylase)
activities of Stage I and IV Jasus edwardsii phyllosoma larvae was used to identify the …

Digestive enzyme activities of cultured (Stage I to VI) and wild (Stage V to XI) phyllosoma
larvae of the spiny lobster Jasus edwardsii were investigated over progressive stages of …

In this thesis I investigated the ingestive and digestive morphology and digestive physiology
during development of phyllosomata of the ornate spiny lobster, Panulirus ornatus. This …

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 …

There is considerable interest in developing hatchery techniques for the tropical spiny
lobster, Panulirus ornatus. Although some progress has been made toward identifying …

Rates of oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion and chemical composition (water, ash
and CN composition) were determined throughout larval development, from Stages I–IX, of …

Growth and development of planktotrophic larvae are dependent on food availability within a
nutritionally heterogeneous ocean. Insufficient food can reduce growth and delay …

The tropical spiny lobster, Panulirus ornatus, has a complex life cycle characterised by a
series of moults that occur throughout pelagic larval stages. Significant morphological …
