Abstract
The relative frequency and destination of limpets relocating from different home-scar positions in respect to aggregations was determined for a popula tion of limpets in Dorset, UK. Limpets on the outside of groups were the mo st likely to relocate, next were solitary limpets and limpets on the inside of groups were the least likely to move.
