Lobster Distribution and Biodiversity on the Continental Shelf of Brazil: A Review

The continental shelf of Brazil is home to a wide range of lobster species, with varying body size, color, habitat preference, and geographic and bathymetric distribution. Spiny lobsters (<i>Panulirus</i>) and slipper lobsters (Scyllaridae) are exploited for export and for the domestic m...
