Brief description
The population biology of the small predatory thaid gastropod Lepsiella vinosa was investigated on the rocky shore surrounding West Head, Western Port Bay, Victoria from June 1975 to December 1978. Details of the population dynamics, growth, reproduction, mortality, movement, and feeding of L.vinosa are described in the related records.Lineage
Statement: MEASUREMENTS OF SIZE Size measurements of Lepsiella vinosa were the length from top of the spire to the bottom of the aperture canal. The same measurements were used for Littorina unifasciata and Littorina praetermissa. Size measurements of the barnacle Chthamalus antennatus were the diameter of the aperture and for the bivalves Kellia australis and Xenostrobus pulex were the largest dimension of the valves. The diameter of the body whorl was measured for Bembicum nanum, Austochoclea constricta and Nerita atramentosa. The largest dimension of the aperture was measured for all species of limpets.Notes
