Reproductive performance in the Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus. a Fecundity, relationship between female body size (CL) and egg number in females carrying early and late embryos. b Embryo size, relationship between female body size (CL) and egg volume in females carrying early and late embryos. Bars represent standard deviations. c Reproductive output, relationship between female body weight (dry) and egg mass weight (dry) after log-log transformation of the variables in females carrying early embryos. White, light gray, dark gray, and black dots represent females carrying embryos in stages I, II, III, and IV, respectively. Arrows and circle in (a) and arrows in (c) indicate ovigerous females infected with the egg predator Carcinonemertes sp
