[Coral-List] lobster surveys

[Sophia Punnett]

Dear all,
Would very much appreciate if anyone could send me or point me in the direction of recent methodologies for spiny lobster surveys. I am currently finalising a Caribbean Spiny lobster visual survey to be complimented by improved biological and catch and effort data collection of fisheries landings. This will be the first lobster survey conducted by the St.Vincent & the Grenadines Fisheries Division, we hope this will give a better idea of abundance and distribution of the species. Would be great to learn from other people's experiences before we begin surveying.
Many thanks,
Sophia
