Home range of European lobster ( Homarus gammarus) in a marine reserve: implications for future reserve design
Marine reserves are perceived as a critical component in successful rebuilding of overharvested marine populations. Such efforts can be particularly successful in species with limited movement rates. However, long-term data on movement is sparse for most marine species. Here, we investigated space u...

Marine reserves are perceived as a critical component in successful rebuilding of overharvested marine populations. Such efforts can be particularly successful in species with limited movement rates. However, long-term data on movement is sparse for most marine species. Here, we investigated space use in European lobster ( Homarus gammarus ) by ultrasonic tracking in a reserve on the Norwegian Skagerrak coast from September 2006 to August 2007. Over the period, 95% of tagged lobsters remained either within the reserve or near reserve boundaries. Home range estimates based on a kernel density estimator of the 95% utilization distribution ranged from 5728 to 41 548 m 2 (mean 19 879 ± 2152 m 2 standard error), representing 0.57%–4.15% of the reserve area (1 km 2 ), with no significant difference among males, non-ovigerous females, and ovigerous females for an overlapping observation period of 242 days.
