The effect of temperature on survival, growth, feeding and metabolic activity of the southern rock lobster, Jasus edwardsii

This study investigated the effect of temperature (18, 20, 22 and 24°C) on growth, feeding and metabolism of post-puerulus lobsters as part of a larger study of the culture potential of farming the southern rock lobster, Jasus edwardsii. There was no significant difference ( P>0.05) in the specif...

Description
Summary:This study investigated the effect of temperature (18, 20, 22 and 24°C) on growth, feeding and metabolism of post-puerulus lobsters as part of a larger study of the culture potential of farming the southern rock lobster, Jasus edwardsii. There was no significant difference ( P>0.05) in the specific growth rates (SGR) at 18, 20 or 22°C; however, growth decreased significantly ( P
