Bach2 1 Laboratoire d'Ecologie Marine, Universite Française du Pacifique, BP 6570 FaaalAéroport, Tahiti, French Polynesia * ORSTOM, BP 529, Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia . ABSTRACT This is a study of the age and growth of the gastropod Turbo marmoratus using a sclerochronological method. The shells of an introduced population on Tahiti (pench Polynesia) are examined. The confirmation of age, based on a novel marking technique using a lead pencil, xgveals a daily rate of deposition within the growth rings..*:A new method of estimation of the growth parameters of the Von Bertalanffy model from the daily ring density (DRD) is described. The fit to the model allows the estimation of K = 0.32 year': and D, = 30.3 cm (D = diameter). INTRODUCTION The green snail, Turbo marmoratus, was introduced in w w Tahiti (French Polynesia) waters in 1967. It has thrived 15òo 14i" in the Polynesian archipelago, constituting a new 1 I resource whose stocks are exploited without particular knowledge of its biology. It has a current natural western Indo-Pacific distribution. A renewed interest in natural products has made it a luxury item, whose price has not ceased to rise over the last decade, while the world-wide stock is decreasing (Yamaguchi 1988a, 1991). Despite the economic value of this species, no growth studies have been undertaken in natura. To our knowledge, only the works of Yamaguchi (198823) deal with the biology and the ecology of Turbo marmoratus, and are based on observations in pools and aquaria in sub-tropical conditions.

Belgium. SUMMARY: The gastropod family Hipponicidae comprises widely distributed but poorly known sedentary species. On the beach-rock of the coral reefs of Laing Island (Papua New Guinea) live rich populations of several gastropod Turbo species of which many specimens have attached to their shell a hipponicid gastropod attributed to a new species, Antisabia juliae. This new species, described in this paper, appears to have adapted its mode of life on live turbinids in several ways result- ing in morphological changes (thin basal plate loosely adherent to the supporting shell, functional eyes, very long snout, functional radula, small osphradium) and ethological changes (foraging behaviour: it appears to feed on the epiphytic com- munity growing on the host, in the vicinity of the “host” shell). Except for these characteristics, the mode of life appears quite similar to that of other hipponicid species with few big females surrounded by several much smaller males. Development occurs within the egg mass inside the female shell and a few young snails escape at the crawling stage. Key words: Mollusca, Gastropoda, ecology, Hipponicidae, Papua New Guinea, Indopacific. RESUMEN: BIOLOGÍA Y DESCRIPCIÓN DE ANTISABIA JULIAE SP.

Studies were based on histological examination of gonads as well as Turbo populations at two sites found in spawning state throughout the year. The gonads of Turbo coronatus at both localities were never found in completely spent condition, thus suggesting that they are partial spawners. Generally, it appears that spawning in males and females of T. coronatus at Manora channel is slightly asynchronous as compared to Buleji where spawning pattern seems to be more synchronous. Oocytes diameter in specimen of this species at Manora was significantly larger than that of specimens studied from Buleji (ANOVA: F=6.22; P<0.05). The overall sex-ratio was close to 1:1 theoretical ratio at both of the sites.

No significant differences were found in mean oocyte sizes either between different sections in an ovary or between ovaries with different gonad bulk indices (GI: percentage gonad area to the total cross- sectional area of the gonad-digestive gland) when GI exceeded 50%. The number of oocytes per unit weight was significantly different among different portions in an ovary, and this could be attributed to the difference in the specific gravity of oocytes. The maximum number of oocytes in an ovary was estimated between 1.279 •~ 106 and 7.523 •~ 106 for females of 12.5-19.3 cm in shell width. The main spawning season was August-November in Tokunoshima I, and July-November in the Yaeyama Island Group. Mature individuals were found during all seasons in both localities.

  • Iv Edible Gastropods
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by CMFRI Digital Repository IV EDIBLE GASTROPODS K. S. SUNDARAM Marine gastropods form the largest group of species in the phylum Mollusca in shallow seas. Of these only a small number of species are suitable for being utilized as food by man. The univalves are fished in many parts of the world for bait, for their beautiful shells and manufacture of lime. Since the animals are passive, simple methods are used in collecting them. The edible gastropods limpets, trochids, whelks, the sacred chank {Xancus pyrum), olives {Oliva spp.), the green snail (Turbo) etc. are represented in difi'erent regions of the Indian coasts in the intertidal zone and shallow waters. They are fished by fishermen and poor coastal people for food usually when fish are not available. In India the above mentioned edible gastropods are generally collected for their shells which are cleaned, polished and sold as ornamental articles. Gastropods are seldom sold in the markets for being used as food. The button-shell Umbonium vestiarium is the only species that finds a place in fish- stalls in Malwan in Maharashtra. The habits, ecology and economics of the edible gastropods of Indian coasts have been dealt with by Hornell (1917, 1951). Rai (1932), Setna (1933), Rao (1939, 1941) and Rao (1958, 1969) have made contributions on the shell-fish and their fisheries in general and stressed the importance of the shell-fish in the eco­ nomy of the fishermen. The descriptions of a number of commercial gastropods have been given by Satyamurthi (1952).

This study investigated latitudinal distribution patterns of Turbo sazae from 2009 to 2018 along the southern and eastern coasts of Korea to verify whether gradual increases in seawater temperature in the East Sea/Sea of Japan (hereafter East/Japan Sea) accelerate changes in the geographic distribution of T.

G. BEU New Zealand Geological Survey, DSIR, Lower Hutt AND W. F. PONDER Australian Museum, Sydney ABSTRACT All Australian and New Zealand fossil taxa and all world living taxa are revised in the genus Bolma Risso (= Oobolma Sacco, = Ormastralium Sacco, = Tylastralium Sacco, = Pseudastralium Schepman, = Incilaster Finlay, = Galeoastraea Habe, = Hirasazaea Habe). The genus is contrasted with related genera using shell and radular characters, and all recognised taxa in Bolma are diagnosed and figured. New taxa named are Bolma anacanthos n. sp., Oligocene, Victoria; B. austroconica n. sp., Oligocene, Victoria; B. flindersi darraghi n. subsp., Upper Eocene, Victoria; B. kermadecensis n. sp., Recent, Kermadec Islands; B. somaliensis n.sp., Recent, East Africa; and B. tamikoana flava n. subsp., Recent, Malagasy Republic. Senobolma Okutani, 1964 is ranked
