FAU Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute's video: Predation of Queen Conch by Spiny Lobsters

@Predation of Queen Conch by Spiny Lobsters

This video highlights predator-prey interactions between juvenile spiny lobsters and juvenile hatchery-reared queen conch. Lobsters use three different methods to consume conch (crush, peel, or chip) and the method depends on the size of the lobster and the conch. Shells of conch with a size of 5 – 7 cm (2 – 3 inches) shell length, in most cases, escaped predation by lobsters. This study, Predation of hatchery-reared juvenile queen conch, Strombus gigas, by juvenile spiny lobsters Panulirus argus, was conducted in the early 1990s by Megan Davis, Ph.D. as part of her 1992 Master’s degree at Florida Institute of Technology.
