 note = {Based on the two population samples from the Suva and the Pacific Harbour areas, Viti Levu
Island, Fiji Islands, morphological variation and relative growth of soft and hard tissues of Nautilus pompilius were analyzed. In both samples development of gonad begins at the stage of more than 130mm in shell diameter. Soft tissue, gonad and shell of mature males are usually
heavier and larger than those of mature females. Shell form ratios are slightly different between sexes, and most mature males have broader and higher whorl apertural area than females.
Morphological comparison of the two samples with that from the Philippines shows a fairly large geographical variation not only in size and weight of the mature animals but also in the nepionic size between the two separated habitats.},
