Respiratory response of S. pugilis to different 

 temperatures and salinities was monitored. Sirombus 

 pugilis is a stenohaline osmo-conformer which does not 

 expend extra energy below or above its optimum salinity 

 range (about 33-37%o).

 gigas. Tetrahedron 31:1135-1137. 



Isolation and characterization of strombine, an extract 

 from S. gigas, described and synthesis of strombine 

 hydrochloride explained. Dilute amounts of strombine 

 are sufficient to elicit feeding behavior in fish in aquaria.

Eighty percent of the shells of living S. gigas examined at 

 Maycock's Bay, Barbados, contained porcellanid crab 

 symbionts. No S. costatus were found to be host to this 

 crab.
