Why is Nautilus so rare?
In the past beachcombers gathered only shells, but now demand for perfect shells is encouraging deep-water trapping of nautiluses. Since these animals mature late and produce few offspring, shell collecting results in a significant decline in nautilus (and other mollusc) populations. Nautiluses are a living link to the ancient past. They’ve been around over 480 million years, cruising deep ocean reefs even before the time of dinosaurs. These soft-bodied creatures live inside an intricately chambered shell.The greatest danger to this unique species’ continued survival is overfishing. Other ongoing and growing threats include habitat degradation, climate change, and life-history characteristics that render the nautilus particularly vulnerable.
