Summary:Species diversity is prevalent throughout Indonesia's Coral Triangle areas. A fisheries management area has been set over its archipelagic waters ensuring the sustainability of the resources. Six species spiny lobster of Panulirus are known to live in Indonesia archipelagic waters. They have a significant contribution to the country. A study on the distribution variation of the marine organisms through the life phase in space and time is critical information for its management. Therefore, a similar study was conducted for the lobster population along the South Sea of Java of Eastern Indian Ocean. The purpose of this activity was to develop formulations to protect ecosystems and conserve lobster resources. Distribution of pueruli larvae of spiny lobster of Panulirus species was surveyed in Banyuwangi, East Java from February to March 2019. The number of pueruli larvae caught were counted and compared among the species. Data analysis was executed using the ANOVA test. There were four species of lobsters found. Dominant species were Panulirus homarus (Scalloped spiny lobster), P. pennicillatus (Pronghorn spiny lobster), P. versicolor (Painted spiny lobster) and P. ornatus (Ornate spiny lobster). Life history distribution of the species may support connectivity hypotheses of the lobster population in the region.
