"Endangered" doesn't necessarily mean "rare".  It is precisely because Strombus gigas is common that it can easily be harvested by the ton. And it is because it has been harvested faster than it can reproduce itself that its populations have been rapidly decreasing in many parts of its range, which is why it is considered  endangered.  <span class="petit">--Last edited by Paul Monfils on 2009-04-28 03:35:00 --</span>
