TAILIEUCHUNG - Larviculture of slipper lobsters in the genus Iacus and Thnus: A review
Slipper lobsters are commercially important crustaceans for the Indo-West Pacific countries. The populations of these lobsters at several locations are recently declined probably due to over-exploitation. Juvenile production and the subsequent farming are required for the food production and resource conservation. | Journal of Fisheries science and Technology No. 4 - 2018 LARVICULTURE OF SLIPPER LOBSTERS IN THE GENUS Ibacus AND Thenus: A REVIEW Kaori Wakabayashi¹ Received: ; Revised: 23. ; Accepted: ABSTRACT Slipper lobsters are commercially important crustaceans for the Indo-West Pacific countries. The populations of these lobsters at several locations are recently declined probably due to over-exploitation. Juvenile production and the subsequent farming are required for the food production and resource conservation; however, the techniques have not been established yet at practical level. To sort our current knowledge on the slipper lobster aquaculture, a history of larviculture is reviewed with a special attention to the dietary items of lobster larvae. Keywords: Phyllosoma, Scyllaridae, Seed production, Lobster aquaculture, Gelatinous zooplankton I. INTRODUCTION Slipper lobsters are the crustaceans in the family Scyllaridae (Achelata, Decapoda). This family includes more than 80 species which are distributed in four subfamilies: Arctidinae (including the genera Arctides, Scyllarides), Ibacinae (Ibacus, Parribacus, Evibacus), Theninae (Thenus), and Scyllarinae (13 genera) (Holthuis, 1991; Webber and Booth, 2007; WoRMS, 2018). Except the species in Scyllarinae which are normally less than 10 cm in body length, the slipper lobsters are of commercial interest (Holthuis, 1991). Particularly in the Northwest and Western Central Pacific, the slipper lobsters are account for 15–50% of total lobster catch (Vijayakumaran and Radhakrishnan, 2011; FAO, 2018). Currently these lobsters are fully exploited from the natural environments. It has been reported that the lobster populations at several locations have been dramatically declined probably due to over-exploitation (Deshmukh, 2001; Radhakrishnan et al., 2005). Juvenile production and the subsequent farming are still in the research level and have desired from the viewpoints of both food production .
