Abstract:The spiny lobster resource in Florida has developed into an important commercial and recreational fishery resource. Fishing pressure on this resource has increased dramatically over the last fifteen years without a corresponding increase in landings. Some important research has been completed on this resource, but before a sound management plan can be developed some critical information gaps need to be filled.
