The queen conch, Strombus gigas, is the largest molluscan gastropod (shell length, SL, of 7 to 9 inches; 18 to 23 cm) of the six conch species found in the shallow seagrass beds of Florida, the Bahamas, Bermuda, the Caribbean Islands, and the northern coasts of Central and South America. The queen conch is found in the territorial waters of at least 36 countries and dependent territories. It is known by various names, such as caracol (Mexico, Honduras, Columbia), carrucho (Puerto Rico), cobo (Cuba), and lambi (Hispaniola, French Antilles).
