Surveys for veliger larvae of the large gastropods Strombus gigas and Strombus costatus were carried out in duplicate transects running offshore (0.26–5 km) from Lee Stocking Island, Exuma Cays, Bahamas. The across-shelf distribution of the larvae during the 1991 spawning season was highly variable over periods of 3–6 days. Larvae of both species are known to inhabit the upper few meters of the water column, and analysis of wind stress patterns over the study period showed that across-shelf distribution of the larvae was affected by wind forcing.
