In the ancillariid genus Amalda, the shell is character rich and 96 described species are currently treated as valid. Based on shell morphology, several subspecies have been recognized within Amalda hilgendorfi, with a combined range extending at depths of 150–750 m from Japan to the South-West Pacific. A molecular analysis of 78 specimens from throughout this range shows both a weak geographical structuring and evidence of gene flow at the regional scale.

Day2 Abstract Following reports of an invasive snail causing crop damage in the expansive Mwea irrigation scheme in Kenya, samples of snails and associated egg masses were collected and sent to CABI laboratories in the UK for molecular identifcation. DNA barcoding analyses using the cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene gave preliminary identifcation of the snails as Pomacea canaliculata, widely considered to have the potential to be one of the most invasive inver- tebrates of waterways and irrigation systems worldwide and which is already causing issues throughout much of south-east Asia. To the best of our knowledge, this is the frst documented record of P. canaliculata in Kenya, and the frst confrmed record of an established population in continental Africa. This timely identifcation shows the beneft of molecular identifcation and the need for robust species identifcations: even a curated sequence database such as that provided by the Barcoding of Life Data system may require additional checks on the veracity of the underlying identifcations. We found that the egg mass tested gave an identical barcode sequence to the adult snails, allowing identifcations to be made more rapidly. Part of the nuclear elongation factor 1 alpha gene was sequenced to confrm that the snail was P.

    Impact of the the COVID-19 Pandemic on a Queen Conch (Aliger Gigas) Fishery in the Bahamas

    Impact of the the COVID-19 pandemic on a queen conch (Aliger gigas) fishery in The Bahamas Nicholas D. Higgs Cape Eleuthera Institute, Rock Sound, Eleuthera, Bahamas ABSTRACT The onset of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in early 2020 led to a dramatic rise in unemployment and fears about food-security throughout the Caribbean region. Subsistence fisheries were one of the few activities permitted during emergency lockdown in The Bahamas, leading many to turn to the sea for food. Detailed monitoring of a small-scale subsistence fishery for queen conch was undertaken during the implementation of coronavirus emergency control measures over a period of twelve weeks. Weekly landings data showed a surge in fishing during the first three weeks where landings were 3.4 times higher than subsequent weeks. Overall 90% of the catch was below the minimum legal-size threshold and individual yield declined by 22% during the lockdown period. This study highlights the role of small-scale fisheries as a `natural insurance' against socio-economic shocks and a source of resilience for small island communities at times of crisis. It also underscores the risks to food security and long- term sustainability of fishery stocks posed by overexploitation of natural resources.

Department of Zoology and Aquaculture, Acharya Darwin Ch. and P Padmavathi Nagarjuna University Nagarjuna Nagar, Abstract Andhra Pradesh, India Among the various groups represented in the macrobenthic fauna of the Bay of Bengal at Prakasam P Padmavathi district, Andhra Pradesh, India, molluscs were the dominant group. Molluscs were exploited for Department of Zoology and industrial, edible and ornamental purposes and their extensive use has been reported way back from time Aquaculture, Acharya immemorial. Hence the present study was focused to investigate the diversity of Molluscan fauna along Nagarjuna University the Paleru and Moosy backwaters of Prakasam district during 2016-17 as these backwaters are not so far Nagarjuna Nagar, explored for malacofauna. A total of 23 species of molluscs (16 species of gastropods belonging to 12 Andhra Pradesh, India families and 7 species of bivalves representing 5 families) have been reported in the present study. Among these, gastropods such as Umbonium vestiarium, Telescopium telescopium and Pirenella cingulata, and bivalves like Crassostrea madrasensis and Meretrix meretrix are found to be the most dominant species in these backwaters. Keywords: Malacofauna, diversity, gastropods, bivalves, backwaters 1. Introduction Molluscans are the second largest phylum next to Arthropoda with estimates of 80,000- 100,000 described species [1]. These animals are soft bodied and are extremely diversified in shape and colour.

Der Pelikansfuß Aporrhais pespelecani (LINNÉ 1758) ist eine der auffallendsten Schneckenarten an der deutschen Nordseeküste und gleichzeitig die Typusart der auf den Atlantik beschränkten Gattung Aporrhais in der Familie Aporrhaidae.

    Pomacea Canaliculata (Lamarck, 1822)

    Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck, 1822) Diagnostic features Distinguished from Pomacea diffusa by its larger sized shell (up to 75 mm in height) and deeply channelled suture. Animal with distinctive head-foot; snout uniquely with a pair of Pomacea canaliculata (adult size up to 75 mm in height) Characteristic pink egg mass, commonly laid on vegetation. distal, long, tentacle-like processes; cephalic tentacles very long. A long 'siphon' is also present. Classification Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck, 1822) Common name: Golden apple snail Class Gastropoda I nfraclass Caenogastropoda I nformal group Architaenioglossa Order Ampullarida Superfamily Ampullarioidea Family Ampullariidae Genus Pomacea Perry, 1810 Original name: Ampullaria canaliculata Lamarck, 1822. Lamarck, J. B. P. A. de M. de (1822). Histoire naturelle des animaux sans vertèbres Tome sixième.LĘauteur, Paris. 1-232 pp. Type locality: Laguna Guadeloupe ? Santa Fe, Argentina (as ėRivierès de la Guadeloupe) Biology and ecology This species lives on sediment and on aquatic and semi-aquatic vegetation. t lays pink coloured egg masses on plants above the waterline. t has become a major pest of aquatic crops as it eats living plants including rice and taro crops. Distribution ntroduced from South America into the southern United States, East Asia, islands of the ndian Ocean and New Guinea. Notes This pest species has not as yet entered Australia, but ought to be considered a significant risk due to its presence as an invasive in the adjacent ndo-west Pacific region. Two other south Asian ampullariid species have regularly been intercepted by Australian Biosecurity ĕ they are Pila ampullacea (Linnaeus, 1758) and Pila globosa (Swainson, 1822).
