Abstract

The top shell button is a luxury product, sought after by quality shirtmakers. In the mid-1900s, extraction from the natural population supplied the demand worldwide. Little was done to replace what was taken. To sustain its remaining natural stock, Trochus niloticus is now a likely candidate for stock enhancement. Harvested for its many uses, the natural population has been dwindling and according to experts, dangerously near extinction. A study of its ecology and reproductive biology interspersed into management strategies and action plans would perhaps save the trochus from natural death.
