“…The variation in phosphatase activities might be associated with the lobsters' nocturnal feeding behavior [5,68]. Post feeding at night, the lobsters generate energy, which, in turn, could promote the production of these phosphatases, thereby enhancing their immune function [47].…”

“…Its distribution and aquaculture are primarily concentrated in the Indo-West Pacific region [2,3]. Recognized as one of the most valuable seafood products [4], the scalloped spiny lobster is highly sought after in international markets due to its exquisite taste and rich nutritional profile [5]. However, with the development of fishery, the natural resources of lobsters have decreased dramatically [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

However, with the development of fishery, the natural resources of lobsters have decreased dramatically [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. In order to meet the market demand, larvae are captured from the wild and reared artificially [6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

This study aimed to elucidate the effects of different photoperiods (0 L:24 D, 6 L:18 D, 12 L:12 D, 18 L:6 D, 24 L:0 D, “Light (L) and Dark (D)”) on the growth performance and physiological responses of the juvenile scalloped spiny lobster (Panulirus homarus). Over a period of 56 days, parameters such as growth rate, digestive enzyme, immune enzyme, and antioxidant enzyme were meticulously evaluated in 90 lobsters subjected to these varying light conditions. The present study found no significant differences in survival rate (SR), molting frequency (MF), and meat yield production (MYP) among the various photoperiod treatments (p > 0.05). Notably, the highest weight gain rate (WGR) and specific growth rate (SGR) were observed under a 12 L:12 D photoperiod. In the continuous dark phase (0 L:24 D), pepsin (PEP) activity remained high in gastric tissues, while trypsin (TRYP) and chymotrypsin (CHT) activities reached the highest in hepatopancreas tissues. The α-amylase (AMS) activity in the hepatopancreas was most elevated under 18 L:6 D, and the optimal lipase (LPS) activity was recorded under 12 L:12 D. The activity of acid phosphatase (ACP) in the hepatopancreas was highest in the absence of light (0 L:24 D), whereas the activities of alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and lysozyme (LZM) were most effective under the 12 L:12 D photoperiod. The total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), along with catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities of the hepatopancreas reached the highest at 12 L:12 D. The highest activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) was seen under 18 L:6 D. The concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA), a marker of oxidative stress, was found to be highest under 12 L:12 D. Consequently, this specific photoperiod is essential for achieving optimal growth and maintaining appropriate physiological balance in the scalloped spiny lobster during aquaculture. These findings provide a foundational guideline for establishing the lighting environment in the farming of the juvenile scalloped spiny lobster.
