Abstract
The recruitment mechanism for rock-lobster larvae to the isolated location of Vema Seamount in the South Atlantic Ocean could occur by the drift of larvae from the distant Tristan da Cunha Islands. An analysis of the drifts of free-floating weather bouys in the area presents the first support for this long-standing hypothesis by showing that the drift directions, the travel times, and the sea-surface temperatures experienced on route are those required for successful recruitment.
