Interaction of physical and biological factors in the large-scale distribution of juvenile queen conch in seagrass meadows

Large-scale distribution of a large, commercially significant gastropod, Strombus gigas (queen conch), was investigated in a II,OOO-ha region of the Great Bahama Bank near Lee Stocking Island, Exuma Cays. Maps of depth and seagrass biomass, generated with Landsat thematic mapper data, and a 4-year survey of juvenile conch distribution showed that most of the juveniles were in aggregations located in 1.5—4.0-m water depth.
