Management strategies for fisheries species require understanding their connectivity and population dynamics. The Brazilian slipper lobster, Scyllarides brasiliensis, is one of the most commercially important slipper lobster species in South America.

The genus Scyllarides is found in tropical and subtropical regions, with 5 species occurring in the Western Atlantic - Scyllarides aequinoctialis, S. brasiliensis, S. deceptor, S. delfosi, and S. nodifer. Existing information regarding their distribution

Growth of the scyllarid lobster Scyllarides astori was estimated in the Galapagos Marine Reserve by use of tag-recapture data and analysis of length–frequency distributions. Asymptotic carapace lengths (CL∞), obtained from Powell–Wetherall plots, were
