Behavioral thermoregulation in the spiny lobster Panulirus Argus (latreille)

Abstract

Ten spiny lobsters (Panulirus argus) were allowed to thermoregulate individually for 3-day periods in an electronic thermoregulatory shuttlebox which allowed them to control water temperatures (and thereby their own body temperatures) by their movements. The range of preferred (voluntarily occupied) temperatures was 25–35°C (mean 29.9°C; mode 30.0°C; median 30.0°C; midpoint 30.0°C; Sk (skewness, Pearson's coefficient) −0.04; s.e.m. 0.19°C; S.D. 2.32°C). The final thermal preferendum (by the gravitation method) in this species is 30°C.
