Subject Gastropods
 
Description Cymatium (Monoplex) pileare deposited 20 egg masses
under laboratory conditions. Out of these, 14 were laid
during the peak spawning period of July-November
and the remaining 6 egg masses during February-
May. Two gastropods successively laid 2 egg masses
each at intervals of 48 and 58 days respectively. On an
average, there were 200 egg capsules in an egg mass
with 2985 eggs in an egg capsule. The estimated
fecundity of C. (M.) pileare was 0.585 million eggs per
animal. Cymatium (Linatella) cingulatum laid 2 egg
masses during July-August. In an egg mass, there
were 167 egg capsules with 1220 eggs. The fecundity
of C. (L.) cingulatum was estimated to 0.203 million
egg
