Abstract
A populational sample of Isocheles sawayai Forest & Saint Laurent, 196 7 was analysed in order to detect the validity of the shell aperture s ize as a parameter in the gastropod shell selection. The gastropods ge nus occupied by this hermit crab were: Thais, Buccinanops, Olivancilla ria, Polinices and Cymatium. The power function (y = a.x(b)) was the b est equation to represent biologically the regression analyses carried out among the measured parameters.
