Abstract The behavioural reaction of a tropical estuarine gastropod, Cerithidea cingulata (Gmelin), to different types of substrata was investigated by subjecting the snails to different mixtures of natural sediment. In addition the organic matter in the sediments was estimated, and an attempt has also been made to relate these results to the distribution of snails in the field.
