Laboratory spawning of the purple snail <i>Plicopurpura pansa</i> (Gastropoda: Muricidae)

Abstract: Abstract:The spawning of the muricid gastropod Plicopurpura pansa in the laboratory at 22-23°C is described. Females deposited 1-20 capsules daily for at least 20 weeks, and produced up to 150 capsules each per spawning season. During spawning, egg clusters were formed consisting of hundreds of capsules of different ages deposited by different females. Each egg capsule contained an average of 436 embryos (± s.d. 213.6, range: 95-1 092, n = 50). Embryos developed without nurse eggs. After six to eight weeks of … Show more

“…Observations on the egg case morphology of C. ramosus in the present study was comparable to that of reports of Mahmoud et al (2013). During the present study the number of egg cases and egg Sreejaya (2008) in B. spirata where the egg capsules turn into pink and opaque when the capsules were infected by bacteria or fungus and Naegel (2004) in Plicopurpu pansa. The results of Gallardo (1973) as well as Riquelme and Chavez (1991) suggested the development of purple colour in nonviable capsules due to bacterial infection.…”

“…In the present observation, from the total number of egg cases, 58% turned to purple colour indicating the decaying of egg cases after 15 days of post spawning. Similar observation was reported by Sreejaya (2008) in B. spirata where the egg capsules turn into pink and opaque when the capsules were infected by bacteria or fungus and Naegel (2004) in Plicopurpu pansa. The results of Gallardo (1973) as well as Riquelme and Chavez (1991) suggested the development of purple colour in nonviable capsules due to bacterial infection.…”

“…The only difference is the presence of sutures on the muricid capsules mentioned above. As noted by Naegel (2004), however, this feature is not universal for all muricids. Whether the Jurassic egg capsules also had a laminated capsule wall (e.g., Tamarin and Carriker 1967;Naegel 2004) is difficult to say as phosphatization could have obliterated such a feature.…”
