1965. Processes of calcification in Strombus 

 gigas. Ph.D. Thesis, Univ. Miami, Coral Gables, Fla., 

 106 p. 



Calcium uptake and deposition in S. gigas examined and 

 hypothetical growth rates calculated based on 

 biochemical findings.

 1964. Some sources of carbonate in molluscan shell for- 

 mation. Limnol. Oceanogr. 9:377-384. 



Results of laboratory experiments on carbonate uptake 

 by S. gigas. Radioactively tagged amino acids and inor- 

 ganic carbonates found to be utilized in shell formation. 

 Other metabolic byproducts of carbonate deposition 

 mentioned. Shell growth rates are correlated with physi- 

 cal activity of 5. gigas.

 60:46-48. 



A form of S. gigas resembling young S. costatus in its 

 early growth stages described from a mangrove area of 

 Lake Worth, Fla. Photographs and detailed shell 

 descriptions are provided, pointing out differences 

 between S. g. verrilli and typical S. gigas and S. costatus. 

 Notes on habitat and behavior.

1969. The possibility of molluscan mariculture in the 

 Caribbean. FAO Fish. Rep. 71(1):156. 



Mariculture potentials of several Caribbean mollusks. 

 Strombus gigas could merit attention but may not be a 

 feasible animal for mariculture due to its life history. 



Fossil specimen of S. gigas from Jamaica described and 

 illustrated. Other known fossil specimens mentioned.

Results of a study of the external morphology and inter- 

 nal anatomy of S. gigas, with emphasis on the vascular, 

 excretory, and digestive systems. Detailed anatomical 

 drawings provided. 



1967. Ionic regulation in the queen conch, Strombus gigas 

 (Gastropoda, Prosobranchia). J. Exp. Biol. 46:459-474. 



Results of laboratory analysis of the composition of the

 may be possible with increased knowledge of the food 

 requirements of the larvae. Rearing of conchs in fenced 

 areas and stocking of juveniles mentioned.

Strombus gigas reported to move by leaping, which is the 

 fastest form of locomotion studied. Speed is directly pro- 

 portional to size in S. gigas.
