Summary: This study investigated the effects of different salinity levels on the growth, antioxidant capacity, and gut microbiota composition of the scalloped spiny lobster. The results showed that reduced salinity significantly affected the survival, weight gain, antioxidant capacity, and gut microbiota of the lobsters, with larger reductions in salinity having more detrimental effects.

Summary: This study investigates the genetic divergence and potential secondary contact patterns among geographically distant populations of the spiny lobster species complex. The analysis reveals strong regional structure and a complex evolutionary history of these populations, including a hybrid origin of one population. The findings suggest that alternating periods of divergence and gene flow have shaped the current genetic patterns in this lobster species.

Summary: Reducing fighting behavior is crucial in lobster and crab aquaculture to enhance survival rates. Providing shelter and co-culturing with live prey can significantly improve the survival of juvenile lobsters and crabs, with live prey also serving as an additional income source during harvest season.

Summary: This study characterized the fishing activity of spiny lobsters in the coast of the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Northeast Brazil. It found that artisanal fishermen engaged in illegal practices and different lobster species varied in their fishing pressure. P. laevicauda faced pressure for all size classes, while P. meripurpuratus only experienced partial pressure on certain population cohorts.

Summary: Analysis of partial mtDNA sequences of the Japanese spiny lobster using PCR revealed multiple haplotype groups and the presence of nuclear mitochondrial pseudogenes. Nucleotide sequence divergence indicated the similarity between genuine haplotypes and pseudogenes, suggesting a continuous and dynamic process of mtDNA integration into the nuclear genome.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of feed frequency on the survival, growth, and behavior of juvenile P. ornatus. The results showed that increasing feed frequency from one to sixteen times per day improved feed intake and growth. However, exceeding sixteen feedings per day resulted in decreased feed intake and growth. Additionally, the rapid leaching of feed attractant and increased vulnerability with more frequent ecdysis events were found to contribute to increased cannibalism among lobsters.

Summary: Marine crustaceans produce broadband sounds that are useful for passive acoustic monitoring. Measurements were conducted on Caribbean spiny lobsters to determine their source levels and sound propagation characteristics within a shallow water habitat. Larger individuals produced higher source levels, but transmission losses were similar across all sizes. The detection range varied with body size, with larger individuals having a greater detection range.

Summary: A Caribbean spiny lobster was necropsied after species-specific fatalities in a public aquarium. The lobster exhibited hemolymph opacity, non-clotting, and hepatopancreatic necrosis caused by gram-negative bacteria. Vibrio harveyi was identified through matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and gene sequencing. Chronicling potential pathogens and developing management strategies are important for reducing infectious diseases in captive populations.

Summary: The ability to conduct closed life-cycle culture of tropical spiny lobsters provides a unique opportunity to investigate specific stages of embryogenesis. A transcriptome comprising 11 distinct stages allowed the establishment of the most detailed transcriptomic library of embryogenesis across decapods. The study characterized key genes and revealed the expression pattern of neuropeptides during embryogenesis.

Summary: Spiny lobster aquaculture has been rapidly growing due to high demand and commercial value. This study investigates the digestion of lipids in the spiny lobster Panulirus argus, finding that it can efficiently hydrolyze both animal and vegetable oils. Fish oils are highly digestible, but plant derived oils should also be considered in feed formulation. The study also identifies hydrolyzed soy lecithin as a potential emulsifier ingredient for lobster feeds. This research contributes to our understanding of lipid digestion in lobsters and provides insights for selecting appropriate oils and emulsifiers in their feeds.

Summary: In this study, the effects of C. solearis infection on the physiological and behavioral variables of P. argus were examined. The results showed that heavily infected lobsters had lower glucose concentration and higher 5-HT concentration in plasma, suggesting potential changes in their activity patterns and microhabitat choices.

Summary: The study assessed the growth and mortality parameters, as well as the exploitation status of Panulirus meripurpuratus caught on the Amazon coast, revealing a stock composition of individuals with low growth rates and high estimates of maximum length, operating at near maximum sustainable exploitation in 2001 and 2002. Recommendations for new monitoring efforts and further studies were made to support conservation and management of the spiny lobster stock.

Summary: This study investigates the digestive enzyme activities during early life stages of the tropical spiny lobster Panulirus ornatus. The results suggest that lipid is crucial for early embryonic development, with a shift to protein utilization after hatching. The findings emphasize the importance of providing a protein-rich food source to phyllosoma soon after hatch for successful culture.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.

Summary: This study developed a centrifugal microfluidic chip with on-chip RPA to detect five pathogenic microorganisms. The chip enabled the parallel analysis of six genetic markers from a single sample and allowed for the highly automated detection of multiple samples. Compared with PCR and DNA sequencing, the on-chip RPA assay showed high sensitivity and specificity for detecting multiple pathogens in shrimp aquaculture.
