The present studies have been observed the length-weight (LWR) relationship and seasonal distribution of the
Turriculajavanafrom the Mudasalodai coastal waters, Southeast coast of India.The hypothetical maximum length
group of male species was between 38 and 48 mm and female was 28-38 mm, while the total weight ranged between
1.23 and 5.18 g. The relationship of the total length to total width, aperture length and aperture width are linear.
The condition factor varied significantly in male and female T. javana. These results are in agreement with the
previous reportsof other snail species.The mean condition factor for males and females was 2.65 and 2.27
respectively. The condition factor decreased with increase in individual dimension.
