Shell variations of Siphonaria gigas (Sowerby, 1825) in response to the effect of wave intensity

A factorial sampling was conducted to determine the effect of wave intensity on shell length, height and thickness of the limpet Siphonaria gigas (Sowerby, 1835). The main objective was to distinguish between different wave intensity effects on each shell feature. The sampling was carried out at a...
