Status of Spiny Lobster Resources of the Philippines

摘要

Spiny lobsters are among the most highly prized and threatened invertebrate fishery resources in the country. Information on lobster biology, fisheries and management (including grow-out culture) were derived from a nationwide questionnaire survey (of fishers, local buyers, traders and national and local government agencies) in 1994-1995, site visits in selected lobster fishing areas and various publications and studies on local spiny lobsters (Juinio-Menez and Dantis 1996).
