Population dynamics and growth of Nassarius reticulatus (Gastropoda: Nassariidae) in Rhosneigr (Anglesey, UK)

Population dynamics and growth of Nassarius reticulatus (Gastropoda: Nassariidae) in Rhosneigr (Anglesey, UK)

Seasonal changes in catch rate, growth and mortality of Nassarius reticulatus from an intertidal lagoon and a wave-exposed beach at Rhosneigr (Anglesey, North Wales, UK) are described. The number of N. reticulatus caught in baited traps from the lagoon was significantly higher (>125 individuals t...

Zusammenfassung:Seasonal changes in catch rate, growth and mortality of Nassarius reticulatus from an intertidal lagoon and a wave-exposed beach at Rhosneigr (Anglesey, North Wales, UK) are described. The number of N. reticulatus caught in baited traps from the lagoon was significantly higher (>125 individuals trap −1 ) during the summer (>18°C), than at 16°C), and
