Trends
Currently, the only obvious trends seen in the species Turbo perseciosus that may threaten its future survival, and therefore requires conservation efforts, is the observed restriction of its global distribution over time. Turbinds (Turban Snails) fall under the subgenus Marmarostoma, which is now restricted in distribution to the Indo-West Pacific ocean (IWP) despite once occurring in oceans worldwide. This may be a result of tectonic plate movements, however it may also be due to anthropogenic disruption causing global climate change. |
