Abstract: The porcelain snail, Turbo funiculosus, is a potential fishery resource that almost has not been stud- ied or used commercially. In March of 1992, we sampled T. funiculosus in Bahía Binners and Bahía Blanca, Socorro Island, Revillagigedo Archipelago, using 25 m2 quadrants. We found that total length varies between 3.0 and 85 mm, proportional weight between 3.0 and 228 g, and density between 6.21 and 9.87 ind/m2. The largest organisms (over 50 mm) contain 30.6 % of soft parts. Porcelain snail populations remain unexploited on Revillagedo Archipelago and could be a potential resource under an adequate management strategy. Rev. Biol. Trop. 54 (4): 1079-1084.

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).

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.

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.

They are settled mainly on the continental shelf as benthic and sedentary animals due to their heavy protective shell. They can stand a wide range of environmental conditions. They are found in the whole trophic chain and are particle feeders, herbivorous, carnivorous, and predators. Exploited mollusc species are numerous. The main groups of gastropods are the whelks, conchs, abalones, tops, and turbans; and those of bivalve species are oysters, mussels, scallops, and clams. They are mainly used for food, but also for ornamental purposes, in shellcraft industries and jewelery. Consumed species are produced by fisheries and aquaculture, the latter representing 75% of the total 11.4 millions metric tons landed worldwide in 1996. Aquaculture, which mainly concerns bivalves (oysters, scallops, and mussels) relies on the simple techniques of producing juveniles, natural spat collection, and hatchery, and the fact that many species are planktivores.

Golden-mouth turban normally uses algae for their food. Study on survival and growth of the juvenile golden-mouth turban focussing on different density under air water lift sys- tem is still limited. This study was conducted on 7 January ± 6 May, 2015, in a laboratory to observe the effect of different density on the survival and growth of golden-mouth turban under air water lift system. Based on the analyses of variance (ANOVA), there was no significant different (P>0.05) on mortality rate for different stock density treatment (5 ind., 10 ind., 15 ind., and 20 ind. each in 10 liter water volume). However, based on growth rate, the density of 5 individuals produced the highest monthly growth rate of 1.88 mm/month of shell height, 1.18 mm/month of mouth opening, and 1.1 gr/month of wet weight with the highest daily mean food absorption of 91.55 %.
