Lobster in a bottle: a novel technique for observing the predation of juvenile spiny lobster (Jasus edwardsii)

Determining the impact of predators on juvenile spiny lobsters living on reefs is important for understanding recruitment processes that ultimately help determine the size of economically important lobster populations. The present study describes a novel approach for observing attempted predation on live juvenile spiny lobster (Jasus edwardsii) in situ, by presenting the lobster in a transparent container that was lit with infrared light to...
