Alternative Title
Morphometric study of the mollusks gastropods "Patella caerulea Linnaeus", 1758 from Tunisian north coasts
Abstract
La patelle, Patella caerulea Linnaeus, 1758, est un mollusque gastéropode très fréquent sur toutes les côtes rocheuses tunisiennes. Elle expose des traits écologiques et comportementaux complexes qui varient d’un milieu à un autre. Dans cette étude, nous nous proposerons d’analyser la diversité morphométrique de P. caerulea peuplant trois sites rocheux des côtes nord de la Tunisie (Canal de Bizerte, La Goulette et Sidi Rais). Le test t de Student, le test "t" : de pente (tpe) et de position (tpo) ont été utilisés pour la comparaison des pentes et des positions des droites de régressions entre les 3 populations étudiées. A l’échelle globale, les résultats des trois relations allométriques (longueur-hauteur, longueur-largeur et largeur-hauteur), mises en évidence dans notre étude, ont montré que l’accroissement de la longueur de la coquille de P. caerulea est moins important que ceux de sa hauteur et de sa largeur, et que l’accroissement de la largeur est plus lent que celui de sa hauteur dans les trois régions étudiées. Il s’agit bien d’une réponse adaptative aux conditions physiques et écologiques du milieu. L’étude de l’évolution mensuelle des relations (longueur-hauteur et longueur-largeur) au niveau des trois stations a bien montré que les patelles ont tendance à croître en hauteur et en largeur plus rapidement qu’en longueur. Cette étude a montré que globalement, il existe une différence significative entre les caractéristiques morphométriques des trois populations étudiées.
The limpet species, Patella caerulea (mollusks, gastropods) is very common in almost Tunisian rocky coasts. It shows complex ecological and behavioral characteristics which vary according to the environment where it lives. In this investigation we are interested in analyzing the morphometric diversity of the limpet from three rocky sites in the northern coasts of Tunisia (Bizerta Channel, La Goulette and Sidi Rais). Statistical tests: “student, tests t of slope and of position” have been used in order to compare the slopes and the positions of the regression straight line between the 3 studied population. Results showed that, according to the global scale, the three allometric relations highlighted in this work revealed that the increase of the length shell is less important than those of the height and the width. In another hand, the increase of the width is slower that the height one of all the specimens studied from the 3 sites. These results reflect the adaptative response of the limpet following the physical and the ecological environment where it lives. The monthly variation of the relations: length/height and length/width in the limpets from the 3 studied sites showed that this species has a tendency to growth in height and width faster than the length. This study revealed significant differences between the morphometric characteristics of the three limpet population.
