Can the development of culture techniques for Caribbean Spiny Lobster be valuable as marine resource management tool and useful for ocean conservation strategies - to help replenish coral reef ecosystems in the future?
POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH - Bio-physical marine studies at FIT Marine Laboratory (Florida Institute of Technology) in Vero Beach (Florida) - in collaboration with Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution.
RESEARCH STUDIES:
• Ocean conservation and Caribbean Spiny Lobster stock enhancement research funded by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC).
• Oceanographic parameters associated with early life history, survival and development of Caribbean Spiny Lobster Panulirus argus (Palinuridae) - knowledge essential to predict successful recruitment of wild spiny lobster populations.
• Larviculture experiments of Caribbean Spiny Lobster Panulirus argus. A collaborative project - FIT's Vero Beach Marine Laboratory and Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute.
