Definition Syrinx shell |
: |
Syrinx aruanus, common name the Australian trumpet or false trumpet, is a species of extremely large sea snail measuring up to 91 cm long and weighing up to 18 kg. It is a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turbinellidae, and is the only species in the genus Syrinx.
This is the largest living snail (shelled gastropod) species in the world, and arguably the largest (heaviest) gastropod in the world. Although the shell itself is quite well known to shell collectors because of its extraordinary size, little is known about the ecology and behavior of the species, except for one study about its feeding habits.
This species occurs in the northern half of Australia and adjacent areas, including eastern Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
These giant snails live on sandy bottoms in the intertidal zone and the sublittoral down to about 30 meters.
It has not been over fished and this snail is locally very common.
It is fished for food / consumption.
