Definition: Conchology refers to the study of shellfish, particularly conch, a type of marine gastropod mollusk. Conchology is the science of exploring and understanding the shells (and other structures) of various types of conchs. The study includes studies of the chemical composition and biological properties of conch shells, including their ability to withstand mechanical trauma, as well as their potential for medicinal use or scientific research. The word "conchology" also encompasses the exploration of conch biology, which is a comprehensive field that combines both shellfish anatomy and conservation biology. This includes studying the reproductive behaviors of conchs, identifying potential threats to their populations, and developing strategies to conserve them. The study often involves the use of advanced technologies such as high-resolution imaging. In summary, "conchology" is the study of marine gastropod mollusk shells and the biology of their structure, including chemical composition and biological properties. It also encompasses the broader conservation and management issues related to conchs.
