A wealth of information for anyone interested in tropical lobster. The only reference that brings together the hundred of scientific studies on the Caribbean spiny lobster, including Moe's previously unpublished aquaculture research. The information is valuable for the marine science student and professional aquarist, yet is presented in a format that the recreational diver, commercial fisherman, or marine hobbyist can understand and appreciate. An interesting, entertaining, and scientifically, accurate account of the recreational and commercial fisheries, natural history, evolution, biology, morphology, taxonomy, and the captive culture of the Caribbean lobster, Panulirus argus.
