Relationships between Fishing Pressure and Stock Structure in Queen Conch (Lobatus gigas) Populations: Synthesis of Long-Term Surveys and Evidence for Overfishing in The Bahamas

Reviews in Fisheries Science & Aquaculture, 2018
Broad-scale surveys for the economically valuable gastropod queen conch in historically important fishing grounds of the Bahamian archipelago provide opportunity to explore the impact of variable fishing intensity on population structures. Visual surveys

Digestive gland inclusion bodies in queen conch (Lobatus gigas) are non-parasitic

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2018
Unusual inclusion bodies occur within the epithelial cells of the digestive gland of queen conch, Lobatus gigas, and have previously been described as apicomplexan parasites. The aim of this study was to investigate the parasitic features of these inclusion bodies in queen conch. L. gigas from St.

Forty Years of Field and Laboratory Experiments with Hatchery-Reared Queen Conch: The Case for Conserving Natural Stocks

Reviews in Fisheries Science & Aquaculture, 2019
Rehabilitating overfished species through releases of cultured juveniles depends upon growth and survival of those animals in the field. Releasing cultured queen conch (Strombus gigas) was proposed 40 years ago to rebuild over-harvested populations ...
