| So I piled Darren and Rob into the car and we headed down to Margate for some whelks and jellied eels. |
|
| Discover the survival techniques of whelks, worms, wentletraps, and other marine creatures. |
|
| Shellfish such as oysters, mussels, cockles, winkles, whelks and crabs were collected for food from the estuaries and sea-shores. |
|
| Even I, who entered not knowing an egg cockle from a dosinia, came out savvy of tooth shells and lightning whelks. |
|
| Think of molluscs and chances are it is shellfish such as limpets, whelks, scallops and mussels that spring to mind. |
|
| Our examples are taken from recent investigations of two key components of rocky intertidal communities, mussels and whelks. |
|
| The issues that I would like to focus on are the geoducks and whelks to start off with, and cockles and pipi. |
|
| Since both seastars and whelks feed most intensively on barnacles and mussels, they clearly co-occupy the predator guild in this community. |
|
| At Strawberry Hill, whelks had higher body temperatures and higher Hsp 70 pools than those at Boiler Bay. |
|
| Abalone does not have a blood-clotting mechanism, and even if slightly damaged it will continue to bleed until found by scavenging whelks. |
|
| Starved whelks were provided with empty mussel shells so that sun-exposure was similar for both treatment groups. |
|
| Meanwhile Andrew lived simply on a diet of mussels and whelks and the occasional boiled crab that bubbled in the pot. |
|
| Predatory snails, including Oyster Drills, whelks, sponges, especially the Boring Sponges, and fish all find oysters a tasty treat. |
|
| These results were obtained from experiments in the lower mid zone at each site and exposure, in which shelter and food availability for the whelks were manipulated. |
|
| Overall, mussels, barnacles and whelks all had higher metabolic activities at SH than BB, whereas there was no difference in metabolic activity for sea stars. |
|
| So the 10m ropes provide an ideal home where they can remain suspended above the seabed and out of reach of starfish, crabs, whelks and other predators. |
|
| The shellfish, especially the oysters and the whelks are just the best. |
|
| Most of the shellfish remains in the Florida coast middens were oyster shells while shells of clams, knobbed whelks and periwinkles were present in lesser amounts. |
|
| This is the only keyhole limpet collected from these rocks, and it was found with other rocky intertidal snail shells such as whelks and top shells. |
|
| Anyway, recently the children asked to try some whelks and winkles, which were so vinegary they'd lost all their flavour, and then Megan asked to try the crab. |
|
|
|
| Barnacles are crustaceans like crabs and shrimps but, because of their appearance, until the 19th century they were thought to be molluscs like limpets and whelks. |
|
| Densities of whelks were measured three times during each summer at all sites in these uncaged quadrats and average predator abundance was analyzed using analysis of variance. |
|
| The researchers also documented the presence of whelks and hogfish, which feast on barnacles. |
|
| Initial predation and parasitism by muricid whelks demonstrated by the correspondence between drilled holes and their apparent enveloper. |
|
| Probably it was less painful to have white whelks than red carbuncles and bubukles. |
|
| Other commonly eaten molluscs include octopuses and squids, whelks, oysters, and scallops. |
|
| She's about seventy and skens like a basket of whelks, but she's as good as any doctor. |
|
| The near-shore rocks are studded with limpets, periwinkles and dog whelks among waving sea oak, a vivid green seaweed. |
|
| Barnacles, dog whelks, brittle stars, sculpins and sea urchins. |
|
| During the current study, tulips were observed feeding on other tulip snails, scallops, and small venerid clams, and lightning whelks were observed feeding on hard clams. |
|
| The mode of reproduction for whelks also needs investigation because Castagna and Kraeuter suggested that knobbed whelk may be protandrous hermaphrodites. |
|
| Its most interesting feature was the profusion of not only the cut columellae of whelks, but the hundreds of small bits broken out of the anterior end of gigantic hard clams. |
