Abstract The genus Strombus is widely distributed in the Caribbean. Six species are of commercial importance: S. gigas, S. raninus, S. costatus, S. alatus, S. gallus and S. pugilis. Economically, the Queen conch, S. gigas is the most important and consequently the most widely studied. However, since 1970 a decline of S.

Aspects of the reproductive biology of Strombus gigas
1985Shell morphology changes relating to sexual maturity and the reproductive cycle of Strombus gigas were studied at a single site within the Barrier Reef lagoon of Belize, Central America. Monthly samples, from July 1981 to June 1983, of transverse tissue sections, through the digestive gland and gonad, were fixed for examination by light microscopy ...

The importance of the dinoflagellate Symbiodinium sp. was studied in the early life stages of the gastropod Strombus gigas. This dinoflagellate was not found in the eggs or the gelatinous mass surrounding the eggs of the mollusk; therefore, Symbiodinium is not inherited directly. To determine whether the planktonic veligers can acquire these algae from

COCCIDIAN (APICOMPLEXA) PARASITE INFECTING STROMBUS GIGAS LINNÉ, 1758 DIGESTIVE GLAND
Journal of Shellfish Research, 2007Abstract This study reports on a new parasite of the digestive gland of the queen conch, Strombus gigas. An intense and generalized sporozoan infection was detected during a reproductive study of S. gigas in San Andres island (Colombia). The parasite was found in the digestive gland of every sampled S.

The shell organic matrix of the crossed lamellar queen conch shell (Strombus gigas)
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2014In molluscs, the shell organic matrix comprises a large set of biomineral-occluded proteins, glycoproteins and polysaccharides that are secreted by the calcifying mantle epithelium, and are supposed to display several functions related to the synthesis of the shell.

Carbohydrases of the crystalline style and hepatopancreas of Strombus gigas linné
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, 1966Abstract 1. In Strombus gigas Linnecarbohydrase activity is present both in the crystalline style and in the hepatopancreas. 2. Only cellulase and maltase were detected in the crystalline style, while extracts of the hepatopancreas contained amylase, cellulase, maltase, cellobiase, α-glucosidase, β-glucosidase, sucrase, galactosidase and ...

Developmental Plasticity in the Shell of the Queen Conch Strombus Gigas
Ecology, 1995To evaluate the developmental plasticity of shell morphology in the queen conch Strombus gigas, we conducted transplant experiments at five sites in the Exuma Cays, Bahamas. Juvenile conchs from a sixth site were placed in cages at three sites, in an open cage at a fourth site, and in a naturally confined area at a fifth site. All animals spent 8 mo in

Trophic cues induce metamorphosis of queen conch larvae (Strombus gigas Linnaeus)
Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 1994The planktotrophic larvae of the gastropod Strombus gigas Linnaeus are metamorphically competent for 6 days, at which time they must make contact with a benthic cue or lose the ability to metamorphose. In this laboratory study, larvae were exposed to potential metamorphic inducers from juvenile conch habitats.
