GROWTH AND MINIMUM SUITABLE CATCH SIZE OF SPINY LOBSTERS, PANULIRUS PENICILLATUS (OLIVIER, 1791) AND PANULIRUS LONGIPES BISPINOSUS BORRADAILE, 1899 (DECAPODA, PALINURIDAE) IN THE SOUTHERN LAGOON OF NEW CALEDONIA BY EMMANUEL COUTURES 1 / and CLAUDE CHAUVET Laboratoire des Ressources Vivantes et de l’Environnement Marin, Université de la Nouvelle-Calédonie, B.P. 4477, 98847 Noumea, New Caledonia ABSTRACT Panulirus penicillatus and Panulirus longipes bispinosus are the main species of spiny lobsters caught by commercial shermen in the New Caledonian lagoon. The growth of the males and females of these two species is described by a Von Bertalanffy curve based on observing growth in captivity and in the eld, and according to the statisticalanalysis of cephalothoraciclength-frequency histograms obtained from commercial catches. A minimum suitable catch size has been calculated from the study of the males of P. penicillatus , which have the most rapid growth. For practical reasons, due to the artisanal frame of this shery, this limit size (Cephalothorax Length lim D 7 : 5 cm) is recommended for both species and both sexes.
