Abstract

Except for those who trade it, little is known about trochus, also called top shell (Trochus niloticus). It can be referred to as the button mollusc because its shell is a highly priced export commodity that is manufactured into buttons for fashion houses in many developed countries like Italy, Japan, United States, the United Kingdom, and Austria.
