Kelletia kelletii, common name Kellet's whelk, is a species of large sea snail, a whelk, a marine gastropod mollusc in the whelk family Austrosiphonidae.[3][4][5][6]
Kelletia kelletii is a large scavenger[5][7] and predatory sea snail commonly found in subtidal kelp forests, rocky reefs, and cobble-sand interfaces at depths ranging from 2 to 70 m from Isla Asunción, Baja California, Mexico to Monterey, California, USA.[8] It aggregates seasonally for mating and is slow-growing.[8] It is also a recently targeted fishery species[8] and a subject of a rapidly expanding fishery.[9]
