ABSTRACT
Periwinkles are mass consumer
products which constitutes relatively cheap source of animal protein. They are
invertebrates and they belong to the phylum mollusks, class gastropoda and
speciefiiscatus. The phylum mollusks is known to radiate successful into a
variety of habitat, the great majority of them are aquatic, some however are
found mostly in shallow waters and sometimes in intertidal zones where they
burrow into the mud in the beds ofthe river which serves as their habitat (Edna
et al., 2016). Periwinkles are predominant in the coastal region. They are
found in brackish waters in the Niger Delta region where its harvest forms an
important local fishery industry (Edna et al., (2016) Periwinkles are harvested
and also transported to many non-riverine towns and cities where they are used
to prepare various palatable dishes in homes, restaurants and hotels (Edna et
al., 2016).
