Quasi-static and dynamic mechanical response of Strombus gigas (conch) shells
Quasi-static and dynamic compression and three-point bending tests have been carried out on Strombus gigas (conch) shells. The mechanical response is correlated with its microstructure and damage mechanisms. The mechanical response is found to vary significantly from specimen to specimen and requires the application of Weibull statistics in order to be quantitatively evaluated. The conch exhibi...
متن کاملGeographical variation in the genetic diversity and composition of the endangered queen conch Strombus gigas (Mesogastropoda: Strombidae) from Yucatán, México.
In Mexico and elsewhere in the Caribbean, the queen conch Strombus gigas is an endangered species. Understanding the genetic connectivity of their populations will support management strategies for long-term conservation of the species. Genetic diversity and population differentiation was assessed from samples collected at Banco Chinchorro and Isla Cozumel in the Mexican Caribbean and at Arreci...
متن کاملCoral Larval Rearing in Singapore: Observations on Spawning Timing, Larval Development and Settlement of Two Common Scleractinian Coral Species
— Small scale rearing of scleractinian coral larvae for experimental purposes has been practised for decades, but it is only in recent years that large scale larval rearing has been used as a means of providing corals for reef rehabilitation. This study aimed to develop optimal methods for rearing sexually propagated scleractinian corals from the broadcast spawning species Acropora hyacinthus a...
متن کاملFracture mechanisms of the Strombus gigas conch shell: II-micromechanics analyses of multiple cracking and large-scale crack bridging
Micromechanics analyses of the dominant energy-dissipating mechanisms responsible for the resistance to catastrophic fracture of the aragonitic shell of the giant Queen conch, Strombus gigas, are presented. The crossed lamellar microstructure of the shell is associated with a work of fracture that is three orders of magnitude higher than that of non-biogenic aragonite [J. Mater. Sci. 6 (1996) 6...
متن کاملStructural Analysis of the Digestive Gland of the Queen Conch Strombus Gigas Linnaeus, 1758 and Its Intracellular Parasites
This study describes the structure of the digestive gland of Strombus gigas in individuals from Guadeloupe and discusses the function of its cell types and their relationship with intracellular Apicomplexa-like parasites. Three cellular types were found in the epithelium of the blind-ending tubules of the digestive gland according to histological and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) obser...
