Abstract

Aim. Establishing the morphological characteristics of Monodonta turbinata from the rocky intertidal of the location (Susa) in eastern Libya. Methods. 50 Monodonta turbinata in all were taken at random from the location. Each snail had ten important morphometric parameters measured. Results. The maximum height from base to apex (HBA) and total weight were 26.91mm and 10.00g; the minimum height from base to apex (HBA) and weight were 12.34mm and 1. 84g.Strong linear, power, and logarithmic regressions were obtained for TW-HBA (having a high R2). R2=0.8053. Virtually all of the parameter-to-parameter binary correlations were strong, highly significant, and positive. The results of the Monodonta turbinata parameters' linear, power, and logarithm regressions using HBA were strong and negative. Conclusion. This study provides information on growth by examining the length-weight relationship as well as the morphological characteristics of Monodonta turbinata, which can be used to identify species and sizes.
