Although<i>Scyllarus faxoni</i> has not yet been reported from the Gulf of Mexico, it probably occurs there but little sampling has been conducted within its depth range of 229-457 m. <i>Scyllarides nodifer</i> occurs from the Gulf of Mexico to North Carolina and Bermuda in 2 to 91 m. The Florida Current and Gulf Stream probably prohibit distribution of the larvae southward.<i>S. aequinoctialis</i> occurs throughout the Caribbean and northward to Bermuda, but only rarely in the Gulf of Mexico. <i>Scyllarus americanus</i> is now known from the Gulf of Venezuela to North Carolina in 0 to 46 m and is common at some inshore locations off west Florida. <i>S. chacei</i>, abundant in samples from this program, ranges from Brazil to North Carolina in 11 to 320 m. Adult <i>S. depressus</i> are known from southern Brazil to North Carolina in 29 to 265 m; postlarvae occasionally occur farther north.<i>Scyllarus depressus</i> (Smith 1881) replaces <i>S. nearctus</i> Holthuis as the valid name for that species. The type of <i>S. depressus</i> is a postlarva dredged off Martha's Vineyard, where its occurrence is considered adventitious. Postlarvae of this species are much larger than those of <i>S. americanus</i> and <i>s. chacei</i>. Postlarvae of the latter two species may be separated by setation counts of the first pleopod. <i>Pseudibacus gerstaeckeri</i> is correctly assigned as the postlarva of <i>Scyllarides aequinoctialis</i>. Early juveniles of this species are unknown. Postlarvae of <i>S. nodifer</i> are smaller than those of <i>S. aequinoctialis</i> and strongly resemble their early juvenile stages. Fertilization in <i>Scyllarides</i> and <i>Scyllarus</i> is apparently internal. Spawning of <i>Scyllarides nodifer</i> is restricted to late May through early August with a larval period of eight to nine months. <i>Scyllarus americanus</i>, <i>S. chacei</i>, and <i>S. depressus</i> spawn throughout the year, most heavily during spring and early summer; juveniles are similar to adults in relative morphometry. Young <i>Scyllarides nodifer</i> have carapace widths greater than carapace lengths, a condition reversed in adults. Epizooic commensals and predators of western Atlantic scyllarids are noted and discussed. <i>Scyllarides nodifer</i> entered three types of wood and wire traps used in an exploratory fishing program. A trapping fishery for this species offshore from Tampa Bay does not appear economically feasible, but results indicate that catches might be better off Ft. Myers and farther south.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Scyllarid lobsters (Crustacea, Decapoda)","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-12-10 01:33:17.368041","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+01:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":1970,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2001-12-12","DateCreate":"2001-05-31","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":10459,"PubliDate":1970,"Pagination":"1-74","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"1","Issue":"4","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":44547,"SerRR":"Memoirs of the Hourglass Cruises.
