Description 258-262
Inspite of tremendous pollution
stress on the intertidal region of Mumbai, many parts of this region are still
crowded by diversified molluscan fauna. Nerita oryzarum, N. polita, N.
albicilla and Neritina crepidularia of family neritidae were found
to inhabit Mumbai shores throughout the year. Population density and biomass of
these neritids varied throughout the year showing highest population and
biomass during December to March and lowest during June to September. The
logarithmic length - weight relationships were worked out to be log y= 2.4528
log x - log 0.4242 for N.oryzarum, log y = 2.3241 log x - log 0.3798 for
N.polita, log y = 1.4794 log x + log 0.9546 for N. albicilla, log
y = 2.9905 log x - log 0.0983 for Neritina crepidularia. Very high
correlation coefficient obtained for these neritids indicates a strong
correlation between

the total length and weight of
animal.
