                         parameters provides information regarding the state of the stock 
                         and indicators of exploitation levels. The aim of the present 
                         study was to analyse the growth and mortality parameters, as well 
                         as investigate the exploitation status, of Panulirus 
                         meripurpuratus caught on the Amazon coast, northern Brazil. Growth 
                         parameters and stock assessment were estimated using R with 
                         bootstrapping and FISAT II, based on cephalothorax 
                         length-distribution frequency. Specimens were collected by the 
                         commercial lobster fishery off the coast of the states of 
                         Par{\'a} and Amap{\'a} between 2001 and 2002. The results 
                         indicate that the P. meripurpuratus stock assessed is composed of 
                         individuals with low growth rates and high estimates of maximum 
                         asymptotic length, with relative longevity of 21.37 years. The 
                         exploitation rate was operating at near the maximum limit of 
                         sustainability in 2001 and 2002. This is the first estimate of the 
                         exploitation status of P. meripurpuratus on the Amazon coast. We 
                         strongly recommend new monitoring efforts and further studies to 
                         support the conservation and management of the spiny lobster 
                         stock.",
