Observations on the biology of the common egg shell Ovula ovum in Majuro, Marshall Islands
نویسنده
چکیده
The common egg shell, Ovula ovum, is found in shallow reefs (down to 20 m) throughout the IndoPacific. It belongs to the family Ovulidae and is closely related to the true cowries of the family Cypraeidae (Abbott and Dance 2000). O. ovum are very common in the Marshall Islands especially around Majuro atoll where the local people collect them extensively. The shiny white shells are sold alone or as decorative elements in handicraft items.
