Shellos Karanakushi (カラナクシ) [22] Water — Gastrodon (#423) Following an event of allopatric speciation, Shellos and Gastrodon have been divided into two visually different forms based on their habitat, the temperature of their water, and their diet. East sea Shellos live in colder water, while west sea Shellos live in warmer water.
Hermit crabs inhabiting marine gastropod shells that lived in the Persian Gulf. A group of beachworn sea snail shells that vary in size, form and pattern combination. A seashell or sea shell, also known simply as a shell, is a hard, protective outer layer usually created by an animal or organism that lives in the sea.
Food availability can alter shell growth patterns, as can chemical cues from predators, which cause clams, [8] snails [9] and oysters [10] to produce thicker shells. There are costs to producing thicker shells as protection, including the energetic expense of calcification, limits on somatic growth, and reduced growth rates in terms of shell length.
[11] [13] Other benefits of sea cages include lower cost, easy to construct and transport, manageability and the advantage of using existing water bodies. [12] Hatchery-reared individuals are usually lab-spawned and raised. Broodstock can be collected from local wild populations [12] and from sites in which juveniles are to be released. [11]
The East China Sea is an arm of the Pacific Ocean and covers an area of roughly 770,000 square kilometers (300,000 sq mi). [3] It is bounded on the east by Kyūshū and the Ryukyu Islands of Japan, on the south by the South China Sea, and on the west by the Asian continent. It connects with the Sea of Japan through the Korea Strait; it opens in ...
Molluscs are a large phylum of invertebrate animals, many of which have shells. Edible molluscs are harvested from saltwater, freshwater, and the land, and include numerous members of the classes Gastropoda (snails), Bivalvia (clams, scallops, oysters etc.), Cephalopoda (octopus and squid), and Polyplacophora (chitons).
Paracel Islands. The Paracel Islands, also known as the Xisha Islands (simplified Chinese: 西沙群岛; traditional Chinese: 西沙群島; pinyin: xīshā qúndǎo; lit. 'West Sand Archipelago') [2] and the Hoàng Sa Archipelago (Vietnamese: Quần đảo Hoàng Sa, lit. 'Yellow Sand Archipelago'), are a disputed archipelago in the South China ...
Sea snails are a very large and diverse group of animals. Most snails that live in salt water respire using a gill or gills; a few species, though, have a lung, are intertidal, and are active only at low tide when they can move around in the air. These air-breathing species include false limpets in the family Siphonariidae and another group of ...
