Understanding the processes that influence recruitment variability in marine populations has
been a long-standing challenge for resource management. Quantifying abundance at early …

Newly settled invertebrates usually are subject to high rates of mortality (Type 111
survivorship). Therefore, knowledge of early post-settlement events is critical in determ …

This paper reviews the status of stock-enhancement studies on the clawed lobster,
particularly recent experiments on Homarus gammarus in European waters. Previous …

Ocean warming can drive poleward shifts of commercially important species with potentially
significant economic impacts. Nowhere are those impacts greater than in the Gulf of Maine …

Habitat suitability index (HSI) models were used to map habitat quality for eight fish and
invertebrate species in Casco Bay and Sheepscot Bay, Maine. Habitat suitability index …

The remarkable increase of Homarus Americanus (lobster) abundance in recent years has
resulted in record landings throughout the states and provinces along the perimeter of the …

As is true for many fish and invertebrate fisheries, stock–recruitment relationships remain
poorly understood for most commercially important species of lobsters and crabs. This paper …

In censuses conducted between 1989 and 1993 the cause of consistent local differences in
benthic recruitment of the American lobster (Homarus americanus Milne-Edwards) to coastal …

Successful natural resource management requires a balance between the social and
economic demands placed on the resource and the absolute biological limit to resource …

We used a coupled biophysical model to investigate larval transport and connectivity
patterns in the Gulf of Maine lobster (Homarus americanus) population. Biological 'particles' …
