Ecological studies on a tropical limpet Cellana radiata

Abstract

Some aspects of the habitat zones, distribution pattern, and population density with reference to tidal levels of the tropical limpet Cellana radiata (Born) are presented. Observations have also been made on the 'homing' behaviour of the limpet. Unlike the temperate limpets, no migration to different tidal levels during different seasons was observed in C. radiata.
