Further SEM assessment of radular characters of the limpets Patella caerulea Linneaus 1758 and P-rustica Linneaus 1758 (Molluscs: Gastropoda) from Antalya Bay, Turkey

This paper aims to elucidate the structure and design of radulae of 2 species of limpet, namely Patella caerulea and P rustica. Samples were examined by light microscope and SEM Although the general formula is the same, the pattern of each dentition differed between the 2 species General morphology and histology of odontophore showed structural significance of the organ, suggesting a further study to confirm ecological choice of the genus at different intertidal levels.
