Nassarius deshayesianus is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Nassariidae, the nassa mud snails (USA) or dog whelks (UK). [1] {Nassariius deshayesinus} are found in warm sampling areas. Moreover, the rate of metabolism species will decline if salinity is increased by up to 41 psu (INIOAS,2017). To add on, salinity is the limiting factor of the distribution of aquatic organism (Issel, 1866), and it influence on the physiological processes is like hemolymph osmolarity and the water content in the tissue can lead to death in most aquatic organism in the phylum of [Nassariidae] (Xiao et al, 2014).
The shell grows to a length of 15 mm
