D, NF, or R. Cages were checked every 8 weeks during each check as many dogwhelks as possible were located. Dead dogwhelks (D) were recorded and subsequently replaced (R) with another snail from the same family by diet treatment. At the end of the experiment, it was also noted if a snail was never found (NF).
