Biometría y Evaluación Poblacional de Strombus peruvianus (Mesogastropoda: Strombidae) en Granito de Oro, Parque Nacional Coiba, Panamá

Research on Strombus peruvianus in Coiba National Park, Panama, reveals a declining population with a density of 0.5 individuals per square meter (500,000 ind/ha). The study, conducted over three years (2015–2017), analyzed 50 specimens, finding males outnumbered females (63% vs. 38%). Individuals measured between 89–119 mm in length and weighed 179.5–392.5 g. The research used snorkeling surveys to assess biometric data, population structure, and density trends, highlighting the species' vulnerability in this UNESCO-listed marine protected area.
