Characterizing daily movements, nomadic movements, and reproductive migrations of Panulirus argus around the Western Sambo Ecological Reserve (Florida, USA) using acoustic telemetry

► We studied spiny lobster movement with acoustic telemetry. ► Most female lobsters in all areas made up to 3 reproductive migrations to deep water. ► The median interval between reproductive migrations was 25 days. ► Some lobsters increased nighttime activity during new moon. ► Many lobster movements occurred between the outlier reef and inside WSER.
