The spiny lobster Panulirus argus is extremely important both for basic scientific research (Davis, 1980) and the seafood industry. Despite the economic significance of Bahamian lobsters, their ecology has been the subject of limited study. Investigators have recorded fishery information (Smith, 1948, 1951), mass migration (Herrnkind and Kanciruk, 1978; Kanciruk and Hermkind, 1978; Hcrmkind, 1980), autumnal reproduction (Kanciruk and Herrnkind, 1976), commercial size composition (Simpson, 1976), life history and ecology of juveniles, and experimental fishing techniques (Waugh and Waugh, 1977; Waugh, 1980).
