| Sumario: | A report on the conditions and the spatial distribution of the assemblages of an intertidal limpet Patella candei D´Orbigny, 1840 is presented. The study of this species, classified as a species in danger of extinction, was carried out in order to take steps about its recovery and preservation. This dangerous situation, due to the shellfish exceedings of the canarian limpet species, has caused an important decrease in their assemblages. A total of 3 617 specimens of Patella candei were found around the littoral of Fuerteventura and Lobos islet. The best structured assemblages were located in areas far away from centres of population, Monumento Natural de los Cuchillos de Vigán in the east, Parque Natural de Jandía in the south. |
