A positive linear relationship between the ratio of natural mortality to von Bertalanffy growth and catch per unit effort (CPUE) and a negative relationship between asymptotic length and CPUE were observed for the spiny lobster, Panulirus marginatus, among seven banks in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands prior to the development of a fishery (1977–81). Resampling two of these banks in 1986–87 after heavy fishing indicated an increase in the asymptotic length and a decrease in the length at onset of egg production.
