| Abstract: | O. verruculatum shows aggregated spatial dispersion during the pre-reproductive and reproductive period, which appears to be closely related with propagative requirements. Analysis of the stomach contents and laboratory observations indicate that O. verruculatum feeds on marine sea weeds (Padina and Ulva). |
| Keywords: | Marine pulmonate reproductive ecology aggregated spatial distribution food preference |
