The morphology and the deposition periods of egg capsules by the bruised nassa Nassarius vibex were investigated on two beaches located on the southeast coast of Brazil. The nassariids were associated with the charru mussel ...

This study describes the growth of individuals in a population of Buccinanops cochlidium (Nassariidae) through the identification of the best-fitting growth model based on field tag-recaptured experimental data. A total ...

The populations of Buccinanops globulosus from three different sites of northern Patagonia were compared in the female reproductive cycle over a 2-year study period (September 2006–August 2008). These populations differed ...

Age determination in gastropods is an essential tool for understanding the main aspects of population dynamics that allow for the formation of fisheries policies. Small-scale fisheries of the nassariid gastropod Buccinanops ...

The genus Buccinanops (d'Orbigny, 1841) (Caenogastropoda, Nassarriidae) is endemic to the SW Atlantic Ocean, and the name implies no eyes, due to the lack of visible eyes in adults. We recognize for the first time the ...

Size and age at sexual maturity in males was studied in Buccinanops deformis through analysis of gonadal tissue samples, secondary sexual characters and mating behavior in Golfo San Matías, Patagonia. Gonadal maturity ...

The anatomy and taxonomy of two western African nassariids are explored, based on samples collected in Morocco. The species are Dorsanum miran, the type species of the genus, and Bullia granulosa, a characteristic member ...

The variation observed in the number of cusps (rachidian and laterals) and in height of central rachidian cusps among and within populations of B. globulosus do not involves the general radular morphology. These differences ...
