The queen conch, Strombus gigas, endemic of the Caribbean is a specie with decimated populations in most sites of its distribution range, thus subjected to International protection since 2002. Larval dispersal might be an alternative for re-population considering the limited movement of their adults. However, there is little information about abundance and movement patterns of their larvae across the atolls in the Seaflower Biosphere Reserve (BR), one of the few regions with still abundant conch populations. In this study the dynamics of the queen conch larvalDownloads
