Monoplex parthenopeus,[https://archive.today/20130106225948/http://www.somali.asso.fr/clemam/biotaxis.php?X=14269 "Cymatium parthenopeum (Salis, 1793)"], CLEMAM, accessed 18 February 2011. common name the giant triton or giant hairy triton, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cymatiidae.{{WRMS species|476531|Monoplex parthenopeus'' (Salis-Marschlins, 1793)||6 December 2018}} It preys on other molluscs.

Fossil records

This species have been recorded as fossils from the Miocene to the Quaternary (from 15.97 to 0.0 million years ago).[https://paleobiodb.org/classic/checkTaxonInfo?taxon_no=159070 Fossilworks]

Distribution

This species occurs worldwide including:

  • The Western Atlantic Ocean[http://www.malacolog.org/search.php?nameid=2961 "Cymatium parthenopeum (von Salis, 1793)"]. Malacolog Version 4.1.1. A Database of Western Atlantic Marine Mollusca. accessed 17 February 2011.
  • New ZealandPowell A. W. B., New Zealand Mollusca, William Collins Publishers Ltd, Auckland, New Zealand 1979 {{ISBN|0-00-216906-1}}

Description

The maximum recorded shell length is 180 mm.Welch J. J. (2010). "The "Island Rule" and Deep-Sea Gastropods: Re-Examining the Evidence". PLOS One 5(1): e8776. {{doi|10.1371/journal.pone.0008776}}.

File:Monoplex parthenopeus (Salis Marschlins, 1793).jpg

Habitat

Trawled 40-60 m. off Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.

Minimum recorded depth is 0 m. Maximum recorded depth is 75 m.

Life cycle

Hairy tritons are notable for having particularly long planktonic periods. The veliger larvae remain in the plankton for nearly 300 days, dispersing as far as 4000 km.Scheltema, R. S. 1971. Larval dispersal as a means of genetic exchange between geographically separated populations of shoalwater benthic marine gastropods. Biological Bulletin 140:284–322. This is the longest known larval duration and dispersal distance of any marine invertebrate which occurs along the west coast of North America.AL Shanks, BA Grantham, MH Carr (2003) Propagule dispersal distance and the size and spacing of marine reserves.
