Action note: In: Summary: ABSTRACT: The morus cerith (Clypeomorus moniliferus) collected in Batangas (freshwater) and Oriental Mindoro (saltwater) are gastropods with the same taxonomic catergory, but are different in their mode of life, as they grow, as their morphological characteristics change due to environmental factors. This study investigates the morpohology of the Clypeomorus moniliferus collected from two different sites (saltwater) and cite probable cause that may explain their differences. Collection of gastropods was carried out in two locations last October 2005; Wawa Lake in Batangas and Tambong Sea in Oriental Mindoro. The gastropods were properly identified using references from the National Museum and successful determination of calcium ion content was done using AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrometer). Shell Morphometrics were measured using vernier caliper and analyzed using principal component analysis. MANOVA, descriminant analysis, and allometry. Morphometric analysis showed that Clypeomorus moniliferus collected from the two locations were significantly different in terms of morphological structure thru measurement which was supported by statistical analysis. It was also found that the allometric growth and amount of Calcium ion were the factors that influenced morphology of Clypeomorus moniliferus. Other editions:
