  abstract = {{U}nderstanding patterns of marine connectivity in oceanic islands is a fundamental element for conservation and management of fished species. {I}n the present study, the level of connectivity of the endemic lobster {P}anulirus pascuensis {R}eed, 1954 from remote islands in the southern {P}acific {O}cean was estimated, focusing on the {M}otu {M}otiro {H}iva {M}arine {P}ark ({MMH}), considered here as a source of recruits to {E}aster {I}sland. {T}he connectivity of adult lobster populations between {E}astern {I}sland ({EI}) and {S}alas y {G}omez {I}sland ({SG}), in the center of {MMH}, was studied by quantifying the reciprocal migration rates using variability of microsatellite loci and a biophysical individual-based model of larval transport based on the outputs of a regional high-resolution oceanic model. {C}onsidering a system composed only of adult populations located in both islands, the genetic analysis showed that 3% of the adults from {EI} came from {SG}; however, only 0.02% in the opposite direction. {N}eglecting the effect of other islands (e.g., {P}itcairn {I}sland located at 2000 km west of {EI}), the self-recruitment was estimated at 97% in {EI} and 99.8% in {SG}. {T}he results of the {L}agrangian analysis of the oceanic model simulations are consistent with the concept of asymmetric connectivity, although there is appreciable variation in recruitment among years. {B}oth genetic and oceanographic approaches revealed large variance in connectivity from {SG} to {EI}. {T}he asymmetric connectivity from {SG} to {EI} emphasizes the importance of the {MMH} {M}arine {P}ark for lobster conservation in {SG}, and that it also supports recruitment of {P}. pascuensis to {EI}.},
