Abstract
Observation of male‐female pairs of lobsters after 18 days of isolation in the laboratory revealed successful mating in seven of 12 pairs and intense courtship interactions in ten of 12 pairs. These data question previously reported results which suggested that mating in this species is restricted to a 24‐hour post‐molt interval.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
