Morphological and functional correlates with distribution ofMurex trunculusL. andMurex brandarisL. (Mollusca, Gastropoda) in the northern Adriatic

Abstract: Comparative biometric investigations indicate that Afiirex irunctrlus is better adapted to high sublittoral waters than Afrirex braadoris. Its sturdier and relatively more pronounced shell and its higher physical density provide Afrirex irrincrilus with better protection against being crushed under the conditions of the littoral. Yet there are no differences between the two species in the'r energy requirements in waters of different salinities. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

“…The meat yield of the banded murex from the Ria Formosa (37.9 + 4.6%) compared favourably with similar data reported for H. trunculus from other geographical areas, such as 33.3% in Cyprus (Alyakrinskaya, 2004(Alyakrinskaya, , 2005, 33.6% in Slovenia (Dalla Via & Tappeiner, 1981) and 34.2% in Greece (Alyakrinskaya, 2004(Alyakrinskaya, , 2005 (all data converted from percentage of shell weight/total weight). The comparison of meat yield between species is rather complicated due to the different types of meat extraction (mechanized versus manual), treatments (raw versus cooked, wet weight versus dry weight) and organs/tissues included in the edible content (foot, mantle, digestive gland, gonads, etc.).…”

“…Chicoreus ramosus and Fasciolaria trapezium). Only Bolinus brandaris, another muricid species whose edible content also includes all soft-body tissues, presented higher meat yield (42.5%), which is explained by the fact that B. brandaris has a weaker, thinner and 10% lighter shell than H. trunculus (Dalla Via & Tappeiner, 1981).…”

“…Both species have extended their distribution areas, possibly due to accidental introduction of juveniles among bivalves imported for shellfish culture (Vasconcelos et al, 2016). The purple dye murex (Bolinus brandaris) generally occurs in the sublittoral zone (Dalla Via and Tappeiner, 1981) although the occurring was reported at 200 m (Macedo et al, 1999). The species prefers sandy, muddy, and sandy-muddy habitats (Muzavor and Morenito, 1999).…”

“…The species prefers sandy, muddy, and sandy-muddy habitats (Muzavor and Morenito, 1999). The banded murex (Hexaplex trunculus) usually occurs between intertidal and infralittoral zones until the depth of 200 m (Dalla Via and Tappeiner, 1981;Macedo et al, 1999). Houart (2001) reported that this species is frequently occurring between the depths of 0.3 m and 30 m. The banded murex prefers both soft and hard habitats such as sandy, muddy, rocky, and sandy-muddy substrates (Macedo et al, 1999;Muzavor and Morenito, 1999;Houart, 2001).…”

“…Nowadays, B. branda-ris also occurs in some areas of Galicia (NW Spain), probably as a consequence of accidental introduction of juveniles together with bivalves imported for culture (Bañón et al 2008). This species generally occurs in the sub-littoral (Dalla Via and Tappeiner 1981), but can also be found at 100-200 m depth (Macedo et al 1999, Muzavor andMorenito 1999), inhabiting sandy, sandy-muddy or muddy bottoms (Macedo et al 1999, Muzavor and Morenito 1999, Anon. 2001.…”
