Age, growth, and mortality of the prosobranch Zidona dufresnei (Donovan, 1823) in the Mar del Plata area, south-western Atlantic Ocean

The volutid snail Zidona dufresnei is a benthic top predator in the Mar del Plata (Argentina) shelf area where it was subjected to unregulated commercial exploitation for more than 20 years. So far there is no stock management, and hitherto even the most basic information on population dynamics of t...
