Note(s):	Queen conch with its large lipped pink shell (25 cm SL), has the highest commercial fisheries value of the seven species (Figure 1). Numerous studies have focused on fisheries management, ecology, and culture techniques of S. gigas (Stoner 1997). There has been much research on the reproductive behavior of natural populations of the queen conch (Robertson 1959; Brownell 1977; Davis et ala 1984; D'Asaro 1986).
