Assessment of predation by the West Coast rock lobster (Jasus lalandii) : relationships among growth rate, diet and benthic community composition, with implications for the survival of juvenile abalone (Haliotis midae)

Bibliography: leaves 195-213. === This thesis focused on two aspects of predation by the West Coast rock lobster (Jasus lalandii). These were (1) the problem of slow growth currently observed in adult male rock lobsters and the putative link between growth rate and food availability, and (2) the inf...
