The distribution and behavior of Nassarius spp. and Nerita spp. on the rocky shore at Pulau Kapas were studied. Nine stations were selected at random for the purpose of
the study. The distribution of these gastropods (Nerita spp. and Nassarius spp.) is governed by their feeding habits. Nassarius spp. stay inactive during the low tide period and is active during the high tide period such that Nassarius spp. tend to be found higher up the shore.
