Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

Extensively used for food, shell jewelry, inlay, and button making. It is the most important commercial species of Turbinidae in the tropical Indo-West Pacific. Intensive fishing for the mother-of-pearl trade has drastically reduced many turban populations in recent years. In order to protect existing resources and to increase the possibilities of long-term exploitations, attempts of juvenile production, reintroduction, translocation, and commercial legislation are under way in the area (Ref. 349). Maximum depth from Ref. 75835.

Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae

Members of the order Patellogastropoda are mostly gonochoric and broadcast spawners. Life cycle: Embryos develop into planktonic trocophore larvae and later into juvenile veligers before becoming fully grown adults.
