Abstract
Abstract American lobsters Homarus americanus in Bonavista Bay, Newfoundland, observed by scuba divers, moved within a 30-m depth range to deep water in autumn and back to shallow water in spring. During summer, most animals occurred at depths more shallow than the thermocline, which usually lay at 5–10 m. Autumn movements appear related to increased turbulence due to frequent storms and to breakdown of the thermocline. The animals became inactive and remained at depth during winter but returned to shallow water as temperature and activity increased during spring. Received May 12, 1983 Accepted March 19, 1984
