CAROLINIAN RECORDS FOR AMERICAN 

 LOBSTER, HOMARUS AMERICANUS, AND 



TROPICAL SWIMMING CRAB, 



CALLINECTES BOCOURTI. POSTULATED 



MEANS OF DISPERSAL 



Recent reports of distributional extension for 

 decapod crustaceans occurring along the east 

 coast of the United States include two poor- 

 ly substantiated records of American lobster, 

 Homarus americanus H. Milne Edwards, and 

 none of the tropical swimming crab, Callinectes 

 bocourti A. Milne Edwards, from the Carolinas 

 south of Cape Hatteras, N.C. (Williams 1965, 1974 

 [Carolinas]; Cerame-Vivas and Gray 1966 [Cape 

 Hatteras]; Williams et al. 1968 [North Carolina]; 

 Musick and McEachren 1972 [North Carolina- 

 Virginia]; Milstein et al. 1977 [New Jersey]; 

 Bo wen et al. 1979 [Middle Atlantic area]; Herbst, 

 Weston, and Lorman 1979 [Cape Hatteras]; 

 Herbst, Williams, and Boothe 1979 [Capes 

 Hatteras and Lookout]; Wenner and Boesch 

 1979 [Norfolk Canyon area]; Perschbacher and 

 Schwartz 1979 [North Carolina]). Occurrences 

 of both species in the Carolinas south of Cape 

 Hatteras are documented here along with discus- 

 sion of their postulated means of dispersal. 



Specimens are deposited in the U.S. National 

 Museum of Natural History (USNM), or are living 

 in aquaria at the North Carolina Marine Re- 

 sources Center, Bogue Banks (NCMRC), and the 

 Hampton Mariners Museum, Beaufort (HMM). 



Occurrence of Species 



Homarus americanus. — Distribution of the 

 American lobster has been given as, "East coast of 

 America from the Strait of Belle Isle, Newfound- 

 land (Canada) to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina 

 (U.S.A.)," at depths of 0-480 m, usually 4-50 m 

 (Holthuis 1974). Reported occurrences of this spe- 

 cies south of Cape Hatteras are: one caught in a
