| Summary: | The settlement of Panulirus inatus postlarvae in the southeastern Gulf of California was monitored
approximately every week at one location (Puerto Viejo Bay) in Mazatlán Bay, from november 2009 to October 2010.
Each sampling date was assigned to the lunar phase. Modied sandwich collectors were used to capture postlarval
lobsters. Three collectors were used to examine pueruli settlement. A total of 238 P. inatus pueruli were collected,
which included 40 pueruli (17 %) and 198 post-pueruli (83 %). Settlement was highest using collector number one (140
pueruli), and november 2009 was the month with the greatest total number of animals (121). Signicant dierences
were found with respect to the lunar phase, but the higher settlement in this study occurred during the new moon
phase. |
