Study of the height/diameter ratio of limpets inhabiting the middle shore region of exposed and sheltered shores 9/10/02 In this study it will be possible to assess the effect of shore type on the height/diameter ratio of limpets. It is plausible that the conditions (exposure to wind, tide, predators etc.) that limpets have to confront at the different shore levels will be linked to the way their sizes occur. A higher ratio would tell us that the limpet is comparatively taller than wider as opposed to limpets with a lower ratio. The study was performed at Port Eynon Bay, Kilvrough in South Wales (grid reference on map 47, 85). Here it was possible to do measurements on limpets at the middle intertidal level of sheltered, semi-exposed, and exposed shores 1(See picture 4 for reference on how to locate the middle shore region.). * In the case of this study one could expect the...
