Further Sem Assessment Of Radular Characters Of The Limpets Patella Caerulea Linneaus 1758 And P. Rustica Linneaus 1758 (Mollusca: Gastropoda) From Antalya Bay, Turkey, Beri̇a Falakali Mutaf, Deni̇z Akşi̇t Jan 2009

Further Sem Assessment Of Radular Characters Of The Limpets Patella Caerulea Linneaus 1758 And P. Rustica Linneaus 1758 (Mollusca: Gastropoda) From Antalya Bay, Turkey, Beri̇a Falakali Mutaf, Deni̇z Akşi̇t

Turkish Journal of Zoology

This paper aims to elucidate the structure and design of radulae of 2 species of limpet, namely Patella caerulea and P. rustica. Samples were examined by light microscope and SEM. Although the general formula is the same, the pattern of each dentition differed between the 2 species. General morphology and histology of odontophore showed structural significance of the organ, suggesting a further study to confirm ecological choice of the genus at different intertidal levels.

An investigation was carried out on the native gastropod species in Lake Gölbaşı, Hatay. During the research 3 species belonging to the subclass Pulmonata (Gyraulus piscinarum, Radix labiata, Anisus leucostoma) were detected along with 9 species of the subclass Orthogastropoda (=Prosobranchia) including Theodoxus jordani, Semisalsa contempta, Semisalsa longiscata, Bithynia phialensis, Valvata saulcyi, Valvata piscinalis, Melanoides tuberculatus, Melanopsis praemorsa ferussaci, Melanopsis costata costata. These gastropod species were collected from 4 stations chosen in the lake. Furthermore, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, pH, and temperature were measured at the sampling sites.
