Using fine‐scale catch predictions to examine spatial variation in growth and catchability ofPanulirus cygnusalong the west coast of Australia

Abstract: Puerulus settlement has been monitored throughout the western rock lobster Panulirus cygnus fishery for nearly 40 years. These data, in combination with indices of effort and water temperature, were used to produce recruitment-catch relationships for each 1° transect of latitude in the coastal part of this fishery from Kalbarri to Cape Leeuwin, as well as at the offshore Abrolhos Islands (total of eight transects). The fine spatial scales of these models provided estimates of certain life history traits that a… Show more

“…Time lags (t) of 3 and 4 (or their average) years were applied to the puerulus data since the majority of white migrating lobsters caught between December and January are a combination of lobsters of those ages (Caputi et al 1995;de Lestang et al 2009). The environmental data tested in the above model were restricted to those observations that were derived for areas that corresponded to those occupied by P. cygnus, i.e.…”

“…between November and February the following year (de Lestang 2014). At the time of the migration, the pale-colour migrating lobsters (commonly called whites), on average, are 5 years old (4 years since puerulus settlement) and range in carapace length (CL) from 60 to 90 mm (Melville-Smith et al 2003;de Lestang et al 2009;.…”

“…An annual ''puerulus settlement index'' is derived from a monthly sampling program that looks at the abundance of late larval-stage lobsters (puerulus) settling on inshore reefs along the WA coast, peaking between August and January each year (Caputi et al 2001). This index has always shown a strong correlation with commercial catches of lobsters three to four years later de Lestang et al 2009). Evident from the correlation of SST with the settlement along the WA coast (Fig.…”

“…A feature of the stock assessment and management of the western rock lobster fishery for over 30 years has been catch predictions based on the level of puerulus settlement (post-larval settling stage) recorded 3-4 years earlier [2,3,4]. Over the seven years (2006/07 to 2012/13), puerulus settlement has been below average, with the settlements in 2008/09 and 2009/10 being the lowest recorded since monitoring began over 40 years ago.…”
