Methods & Sampling

Individual Dendropoma (now Ceraesignum) maximum were collected haphazardly from seven sites in April and September 2008. Snails were removed with their shells in tact using a chisel and hammer. At the lab, snails were removed from the shell. Females were determine by the presence of a mantle slit and appearance of gonads. Length of capsules were measured in April to the nearest 0.01mm. Early stage embryos have no definitive larval structures yet. They are yellow in color. Mid stage embryos had some larval structures-some pigment but still quite yellow, eyes, simple shell, small velum. Late stage are close to hatching so well developed with large bi-lobed, darkly pigmented bands on velum, eyes, sculptured shell, well-developed foot.
