Morphometry of Limpet, Patelloida heroldi (Dunker, 1861) on Exposed and Sheltered Intertidal Stony Shores at Magarizaki Beach, Amakusa, Japan

This study aims to determine the differences in shell dimensions (length, width, and height) of Patelloida heroldi between two locations: an exposed intertidal stony shore and a sheltered intertidal stony shore. The research was conducted at Magarizaki Beach, Tomioka Peninsula, Amakusa, Japan, over two months from March to April 2024. Sampling was conducted using 25 x 25 cm quadrats along a line transect. The results showed that the average shell size of P. herolda at the exposed shore was 7.52 mm in length, 5.57 mm in width, and 2.23 mm in height, while, at the sheltered shore was 5.34 mm in length, 4.10 mm in width, and 1.81 mm in height. The shell size of limpets living on the exposed shore was significantly larger than those on the sheltered shore (t-student, P < 0.05). This study suggests that the difference in limpet shell sizes between the two locations was not influenced by population density, but was likely affected by differences in food supply and sedimentation levels in the areas. The impacts of environmental factors and food supply on the growth of limpets at the two locations are necessary to study in the future.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the differences in shell dimensions (length, width, and height) of Patelloida heroldi between two locations: an exposed intertidal stony shore and a sheltered intertidal stony shore. The research was conducted at Magarizaki Beach, Tomioka Peninsula, Amakusa, Japan, over two months from March to April 2024. Sampling was conducted using 25 x 25 cm quadrats along a line transect. The results showed that the average shell size of P. herolda at the exposed shore was 7.52 mm in length, 5.57 mm in width, and 2.23 mm in height, while, at the sheltered shore was 5.34 mm in length, 4.10 mm in width, and 1.81 mm in height. The shell size of limpets living on the exposed shore was significantly larger than those on the sheltered shore (t-student, P < 0.05). This study suggests that the difference in limpet shell sizes between the two locations was not influenced by population density, but was likely affected by differences in food supply and sedimentation levels in the areas. The impacts of environmental factors and food supply on the growth of limpets at the two locations are necessary to study in the future.
