An Investigation Into the Effect of Wave Exposure on the Volume of Limpets

... An Investigation Into the Effect of Wave Exposure on the Volume of Limpets Abstract: The aim of this investigation was to explore the effect of wave exposure on the volumes of intertidal limpets. Samples of the Patella spp. were measured at 2 different sites at West Angle Bay. A 0.25m2 quadrat was used to measure along a continuous horizontal belt transect at a fixed vertical height and the base diameter and vertical height of each limpet was measured using callipers. These measurements were then used to calculate the volumes of each limpet. The results obtained showed a measurable difference in the volumes obtained at the exposed shore site compared with the sheltered shore site. The results showed that there was a higher frequency of smaller limpets and a lower frequency of larger limpets at the wave-exposed site than at the sheltered site. Therefore wave exposure has a profound effect on the size
