“…Nomadic movements are more likely with immature lobsters (Herrnkind 1980) and during ontogenetic shifts (Childress & Jury 2006). Although our study was not conducted at a scale that could estimate rates of nomadism nor did we tag juvenile lobsters, the frequency of large daily shifts in location (>100 m) was greatest in small (<75 mm CL) female lobsters (>50%) and decreased in large (90-110 mm CL) female lobsters (>25%).…”

“…For the classifications of movement patterns of lobster as elucidated by Herrnkind (1980) and Childress & Jury (2006), the grid strategy seems best suited for the study of daily and some homing activities. Curtains and gates are best suited for nomadic and migratory movements provided preliminary observations have been obtained to guide deployment.…”

“…Research focusing on the movement of lobsters including Panulirus argus (Latreille, 1804) has been reviewed and summarised by Herrnkind (1980) and Childress & Jury (2006). In these reviews, lobster movements were primarily categorised spatially as: (1) homing; (2) nomadic; or (3) migratory (Herrnkind 1980) and temporally as: (1) daily; (2) ontogenetic; or (3) seasonal (Childress & Jury 2006).…”

“…Although each technique has strengths and weaknesses (see Herrnkind 1980), both reviews (Herrnkind 1980;Childress & Jury 2006) noted the potential of acoustic telemetry. The Tektite-II programme in the United States Virgin Islands (Cooper & Herrnkind 1971;Olsen et al 1972Olsen et al ) conducted during 1970Olsen et al and 1971 was the first to incorporate extensive use of acoustic technology with diver observations in a lobster movement study.…”

Factors known to guide the movements of P. argus include the earth's magnetic field (Lohmann 1984;Lohmann et al 1995;Boles & Lohmann 2003), hydrodynamic forces such as wave surge (Herrnkind & McLean 1971;Nevitt et al 1995), visual (Schöne 1961), and chemical cues (Nevitt et al 2000;Horner et al 2004).…”

We used acoustic telemetry to study the movements of spiny lobster (Panulirus argus) during the spring and summer of 2003 and 2004 in Hawk Channel in the Western Sambo Ecological Reserve near Key West, Florida, United States. Overall, lobsters generally showed greatest movement after sunset and before sunrise with relatively less movement between midnight and 0200 h, however, there was great variability in movement patterns between individual lobsters and these variations were related to size or sex. Little or no movement occurred during daytime. Patterns of movement, as revealed by acoustic telemetry revealed that some lobsters repeatedly travelled to the same foraging area at the same time and then returned to the same patch reef (homing ability). Female lobsters that were reproductively active, exhibited movement patterns consistent with reproductive migrations to the forereef. These migrations lasted approximately 1 week and the lobster returned to the same patch reef presumably using the same homing ability used during daily activities. Although not statistically significant, the greatest overall daily total movement (total distance travelled) was found in small females. Small females also showed the greatest net daily movement (distance between denning locations) which suggests they had the highest rate of changing dens. The greater daily movement of small females did not convert to greater home ranges. There was no pattern in home range size with respect to the size and sex of lobsters.
