Title Aspects on clustering and movements of the intertidal gastropod, Planaxis sulcatus (Gastropoda/Planaxidae) in the Suez Canal
 
Creator Mohammed, Saad Zakaria
 
Description 320-324
Clustering behavior of the gastropod Planaxis sulcatus was
investigated seasonally and in different shore levels on the Suez
Canal rocky shores. The numbers of clusters m2 and
individual abundance / cluster in hot summer were significantly greater
than in winter particularly in high and midshores. Clusters were more frequent
in crevices than over boulders. There is a decline in snail size in summer due
to the appearance of new recruits. Results of movement experiments revealed
that the spreading of snails is faster in winter than in summer which showed
high mortalities.
