ABSTRACT

This study provided information on an aspect of the biology i.e the length-weight relationship, Length- girth relationship, Length-shell relationship, Length-number of whorls relationship, condition factor and the growth pattern of a commercially important mollusc, T. fuscatus, in Koko Estuary in Delta State. The findings of this study suggest that the condition of the estuary is favorable to the growth and development of this mollusc in terms of availability and abundance of food resources. In addition, they might have developed a strategy to cope and adapt to an environment that is well known for its crude oil exploitation and refining activities.
