Long oval, soft body, with 1 pair of tentacles in the front of the head and abdomen, and 1 black eyes in each; Feet are wide and gray-black.
Conch is produced in China, Guangdong, Fujian and other coastal areas. It is also distributed in the vast sea area from northern Honshu, Japan to Hokkaido and the Sea of Okhotsk. Living in shallow water, I am used to crawling slowly.
I like eating echinoderms and some plankton. I like to be active in the evening. Conch ripens in two years. The spawning period is about May to August, and the eggs are laid in long and narrow chitin egg bags, each containing hundreds to thousands of eggs. The life span of conch is about three years.
Chinese medicine believes that conch meat has therapeutic and health care effects on jaundice, beriberi, hemorrhoids and other diseases. Conch meat has balanced nutrition and is rich in vitamin A, protein, iron, calcium and other elements. Its meat taste is fresh and elegant, and it belongs to low calorie, high protein and high calcium food. It is a very good health food for dieters and is also very suitable for patients with cancer, fatty liver and cardiovascular diseases.
Second, living habits.
Conch is a kind of warm marine life, which mainly lives in the shallow sea with broken coral bottom and water depth of 1-30 meters.
Like other animals, mollusks such as conch have adapted to the ever-changing living environment. From rocks washed by seawater day and night to the dark and muddy deep seabed, all habitats have their own special mollusks. Tides affect the characteristics and distribution of mollusks growing on the seashore, and so do the geological surface characteristics on which they depend.
However, the food provided by sufficient sunshine is more important. Molluscs are best suited to inhabit tropical areas, so the variety of shells in this area is amazing. Coral is the hometown of colorful conus, snails and snails; In mangroves, oysters live in the roots, jellyfish like to climb branches and attach leaves, and crabs let snails crawl quietly on the mudflats.
Of course, temperate waters will also open the eyes of collectors. The beach is a safe haven for many bivalves and burrowing gastropods, such as emerald snails. In the estuary, the mixing of sediment creates a rich food environment, and a large number of bird-tailed clams can often be found. Rock bank is a good hunting ground for gastropods, which can firmly adhere to rocks.
Conch moves slowly and often feeds on algae and microorganisms. They generally inhabit shallow seas and are echinoderms. The outer lip of the shell is extremely abduction, and the female snail is obviously larger than the male snail. The meat is edible, and the shell is for viewing and can be used for carving. Night activities. Feet are located on the ventral surface of the body, thick and muscular, suitable for crawling.
Carnivorous. They mainly feed on echinoderms. These mollusks usually live in shallow water or flat mud and can be found in deep water as deep as 600 feet (200 meters). Most conchs are caught by traps or trawls, and they may also be by-products of other products.
