Abstract

The rock-lobsters Panulirus penicillatus, P. homariis and P. versicolor
occur in Minicoy. P. versicolor, now the most common, is possibly a recent
arrival as this species has not been previously recorded from here. The spatial
distribution, social behaviour, local migration on the reef flats, specific habitat
selection and juvenile recruitment of the species in the atoll are discussed.
