The current situation of the lobster fishery in Cuba is characterized by low catches, relatively stable since 2006 with an average of about 4 500 tonnes yearly. The decrease in spawning potential, recruitment, biomass and therefore in catches, as compared to the 1980s, is due to the combined effects between the high level of exploitation and the cumulative multiple anthropogenic and climate factors on ecosystem's carrying capacity and stock's self-recovery. Based on multidisciplinary research, the lobster fishery in Cuba is managed in an adaptive way and adopts a precautionary approach. Current situation shows a conservative fishing mortality rate adapted to the worst scenario circumstance according to unfavorable environmental conditions. She concluded the spiny lobster resource is fully exploited and the current level of exploitation seems to be adequate to maintain a sustainable stock status in agreement with current decline of the Cuban ecosystem's carrying capacity.
