Disturbance-induced 'spill-in' of Caribbean spiny lobster to marine reserves

MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES, 371, 213–220.

By: D. Eggleston n  & D. Parsons n

author keywords: Animal behavior; Caribbean spiny lobster; Disturbance; Fisheries management; Sociality; Marine protected areas; Marine reserves; Predation; Spill-in; Spillover; Sport divers
TL;DR: The present study provides direct field evidence that disturbance from a sport diving fishery can elevate the abundance of Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus in nearby marine reserves—particularly in reserves containing rela- tively high densities of non-disturbed lobsters—presumably through conspecific attraction where lobsters follow chemical cues to undisturbed sites in marine reserves.

2008 journal article

Functional response of sport divers to lobsters with application to fisheries management

ECOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS, 18(1), 258–272.

By: D. Eggleston n , D. Parsons n, G. Kellison *, G. Plaia n & E. Johnson n

author keywords: Biscayne National Park; Caribbean spiny lobster; density independence; fishery management; Florida Keys; USA; functional response; ovetfishing; predator-prey theory; recreational fishing impacts; scuba divers
MeSH headings : Animals; Crustacea; Data Collection; Diving / physiology; Fisheries; Recreation
TL;DR: The recreational diver-lobster predator-prey construct in this study provides a useful predictive framework to apply to both recreational and commercial fisheries, and on which to build as management actions are implemented. (via Semantic Scholar)

2007 journal article

Potential population and economic consequences of sublethal injuries in the spiny lobster fishery of the Florida Keys

MARINE AND FRESHWATER RESEARCH, 58(2), 166–177.

By: D. Parsons n & D. Eggleston n 

author keywords: Caribbean spiny lobster; Florida Keys; individual based model; Panulirus argus; recreational fishing; sublethal injury
TL;DR: The results suggest that sublethal fishery interactions can lead to high population and economic losses, and highlight the need to incorporate sublethal injuries into stock assessments and economic models. (via Semantic Scholar)

2006 journal article

Human and natural predators combine to alter behavior and reduce survival of Caribbean spiny lobster

JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL MARINE BIOLOGY AND ECOLOGY, 334(2), 196–205.

By: D. Parsons n & D. Eggleston n 

author keywords: behavioral mechanisms; indirect effects; Panulirus argus; sport divers; sub-lethal human disturbance; unobserved mortality
TL;DR: How human disturbance and injury of lobsters can alter their behavior and reduce subsequent survival in the presence of their natural predators is highlighted, and the need to incorporate the negative effects of sport-divers into models that estimate population demographic rates is illustrated.

2005 journal article

Indirect effects of recreational fishing on behavior of the spiny lobster Panulirus argus

MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES, 303, 235–244.

By: D. Parsons* & D. Eggleston* 

author keywords: indirect behavioral disturbance; sublethal injury; unobserved mortality; predation; limb damage; recreational fishing; Panulirus argus; Caribbean spiny lobster; Florida keys
TL;DR: Tethering trials revealed that injured lobsters were more likely to suc- cumb to predation than uninjured controls, while the shelter choice experiments demonstrated that the usual ability to attract conspecifics was altered by injury. (via Semantic Scholar)

2003 journal article

Snapper Pagrus auratus (Sparidae) home range dynamics: acoustic tagging studies in a marine reserve

MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES, 262(2003), 253–265.

By: D. Parsons n, R. Babcock *, R. Hankin*, T. Willis, J. Aitken*, . RK O'Dor*, G. Jackson*

author keywords: Pagrus auratus; snapper behaviour; home range; site fidelity; residency; utilisation distribution; new Zealand; marine reserve
TL;DR: The home-range size and location of reef-associated snapper Pagrus auratus: Sparidae were investigated by use of a radio acoustic-positioning telemetry (RAPT) system, which matched the level of detail provided by the RAPT system to directly estimate the time spent in an area.
