Habitat Preference and Population Ecology of Limpets Cellana karachiensis (Winckworth) and Siphonaria siphonaria (Sowerby) at Veraval Coast of Kathiawar Peninsula, India

Abstract: Present study reports the habitat preference and spatiotemporal variations in the population abundance of limpetsCellana karachiensisandSiphonaria siphonariainhabiting rocky intertidal zones of Veraval coast, Kathiawar Peninsula, India. The entire intertidal zone of the Veraval coast was divided into five microsampling sites based on their substratum type and assemblage structure. Extensive field surveys were conducted every month in these microsampling sites and the population abundance of two limpet species … Show more

“…However, in future, there is a need to re-confirm the identification of C. karachiensis based on the study of other gene markers. Cellana karachiensis has been reported for the first time from the coast of Pakistan and this species has earlier been reported from Gulf of Oman (Emam, 1994) and from Veraval, west coast of India (Faladu et al, 2014). The coast of Pakistan is bordered by Northern Arabian Sea, on the western extension of the Arabian Sea lies the Gulf of Oman and on its eastern extension lies the west coast of India, so this species appeared to be distributed in the Arabian Sea.…”

“…Figure 1 shows the map of the three sampling sites wherein the data collection was made during low tide from May 19, 2015 to May 26, 2015. The belt-transect method (60 x 50 m) was established in each sampling site (Faladu et al, 2014). Different microhabitats were observed in the study area: a microhabitat composed of algae, seagrass, black sand, muddy sand, rocks, sediments and tide pools.…”
