  • Marine Gastropods of American Samoa Introduction
    Micronesica 41(2):237–252, 2011 Marine gastropods of American Samoa D.P. Brown Isle Royale National Park, Houghton, MI 49931 Abstract—Collected for food for over 3,000 years by the indigenous Samoan people, marine gastropods in American Samoa have never been collected and cataloged for science. This study documents 385 marine gastropods from 50 families occurring in the U.S. territory of American Samoa. Ten of these are listed by genus only and one by family. The num- ber of gastropods currently reported is likely significantly underestimated and a conservative estimate of the richness yet to be discovered. Introduction Molluscs have been collected in Samoa since the earliest inhabitants arrived some 3,000 years ago (Craig et al 2008, Kramer 1994, Kirch and Hunt, 1993, Nagaoka 1993). Much of this reef gleaning was directed at the cephalopods, the large and colorful giant clams (Tridacna spp.) and the larger marine snails such as Trochus spp, Lambis spp., Cassis spp., Turbo spp., and Tutufa spp., although any marine mollusc was likely taken if found (Munro 1999). While the limited archeological evidence provides an initial species list, this long history of the use of marine molluscs provided a very limited understanding of the marine gastro- SRGVRIWKHDUFKLSHODJR(YHQDIWHU(XURSHDQFRQWDFWIHZVHULRXVRUDPDWHXUVKHOO collectors made the long voyage to the S.

Until very recently, and before the advent of SCUBA, much of the gastropod knowledge in the area came from the shallow depths available to free-divers, what could be dredged off the bottom, and what washed onto the shore. The first organized sci- entific investigations into the Samoan gastropods weren’t carried out until the 18th century by the La Perouse expedition.

As many habitats as possible were examined at each sites from sandy beaches, muddy sand, rocky shore, and coral reefs. A total of 306 species of gastropods were collected and had been classifi ed in53families 116genera.The most widespread species were Planaxis sulcatus (Planaxidae) and Polinices mammilla (Naticidae) found in 37 sites, followed by Echinolittorina malaccana (Littorinidae) in 35 sites. The highest diversity was 187 species in Trat whereas Koh Mark had the most abundance in this area. The lowest diversity was in Chanthaburi, 88 species, whereas Koh Nomsoa was the most abundant site.The diversity of gastropods in Chonburi was 152 species, whereas Koh Samaesarn and Koh Juang were the most abundant site. 137 species had been found in Rayong and Koh Munnai was the most abundant site. The data from this study had been compared with the resent studies in the late decade from the west coast of the Gulf of Thailand and Andaman Sea.The total gastropods in the late decade were 454 species 205 genera 69 families.

  • Early Lapita Subsistence: the Evidence from Kamgot, Anir Islands, New Ireland Province, Papua New Guinea
    18 Early Lapita subsistence: The evidence from Kamgot, Anir Islands, New Ireland Province, Papua New Guinea Glenn R. Summerhayes, Katherine Szabó, Andrew Fairbairn, Mark Horrocks, Sheryl McPherson and Alison Crowther Abstract Over several decades there has been much discussion regarding the nature of Early Lapita subsistence, and in particular whether domesticated animals and horticulture were central components or whether initial Lapita subsistence strategies relied primarily upon marine resources. Here, we assess the evidence for subsistence during the earlier phases of occupation at Kamgot, Anir Islands, New Ireland Province, Papua New Guinea, particularly through the lens of terrestrial versus marine components. Introduction The most commonly accepted account for the initial presence of Lapita occupation in the Western Pacific is that it represented new people who brought with them new ideas, language and a translocated economy (Bellwood 1978; Green 1979; Kirch 1997, 2000; Spriggs 1997). This period is called Early Lapita (Summerhayes 2000a) and covers the first settlement phase dated from 3300–3000 cal. BP (Summerhayes 2010a:20; 2001a). Examples of economic introductions include pig, dog and chicken, all of which would have originated from Southeast Asia. The economy of these Early Lapita settlers was seen as broad-spectrum foraging, domestic animals, horticulture and arboriculture. The basic gist of this model has been challenged by scholars for many reasons and from many angles. One of the less-accepted views does not recognise new people moving in with a translocated economy from the west (see Torrence 2016 for an updated version). It has been argued that there was no sudden intrusion of foreign migrants, but rather that new cultural traits were introduced over several centuries (Specht et al.

  • I. PENDAHULUAN A. Latar Belakang Pantai Baobolak Terdapat Di
    I. PENDAHULUAN A. Latar Belakang Pantai Baobolak terdapat di Kabupaten Lembata, Kecamatan Nagawutung yang luas pantainya 4 km2 dengan Garis Selatan 8◦29′ 32.88″S, Garis Bujur Barat 123◦15′46.82″T. Pantai Baobolak merupakan pantai yang kondisi alamnya masih alami, belum tercampur dengan bahan kimia lainnya. Mata pencarian adalah nelayan dan petani. Masyarakat mencari hasil laut dengan adanya pasang surut air laut. Keanekaragaman hayati di pantai Baobolak melimpah, belum ada penelitian tentang gastropoda di pantai tersebut. Tujuan untuk klasifikasi keanekaragaman gastropoda di pantai tersebut. Poutiers (1998) menyatakan bahwa Gastropoda banyak ditemukan di perairan laut dan beberapa diantaranya dikonsumsi oleh masyarakat. Nybakken dan Bertness (2005), gastropoda merupakan moluska paling sukses dan memiliki penyebaran yang sangat luas, yaitu mulai dari darat hingga laut dalam. Gastropoda dan Bivalvia merupakan penyusun komunitas makrozoobentos di kawasan pesisir pantai (Hendrickx et al. 2007). Menurut Dharma (1988), gastropoda umumnya hidup di laut tetapi ada sebagian yang hidup di darat. Gastropoda mempunyai peranan yang penting baik dari segi pendidikan, ekonomi maupun ekologi. Dari segi ilmu pengetahuan keanekaragaman biota laut merupakan laboratorium alami yang menarik untuk dipelajari dan dikaji secara mendalam. Sedangkan bila dipandang dari segi 1 2 ekonomi gastropoda mempunyai nilai jual seperti Cypracea, Murex dan Trochusdimana cangkangnya digunakan untuk hiasan yang harganya mahal. Selain itu beberapa gastropoda juga dapat berperan sebagai sumber bahan makanan karena mengandung nutrien, seperti Cymbiola yang dagingnya diambil untuk dikonsumsi, Haliotis (Abalone) dan Strombus (keong gonggong), selain sebagai lauk abalone telah diekstrak dan dibuat sebagai makanan tambahan (food suplement). Oleh karena itu keberadaan gastropoda perlu kita jaga dan lestarikan sehingga keanekaragaman dan kelimpahan jenis dari gastropoda tersebut dapat terjaga dan terpelihara dengan baik.

Het bevatte slechts één pagina, van de hand van de eerste secretaris, Lode Willems, met het verslag over de tweede vergadering van onze vereniging die kort daarvoor, op 8 oktober 1961, was opgericht. Hierin schreef hij: “Het aantal liefhebbers is in gestage groei. Dit is aanmoedigend en bewijst tevens dat onze vereniging een dringende noodzaak was. Er was een zeer hartelijke sfeer en vruchtbare samenwerking onder de aanwezigen. ... Daarna ging al onze aandacht naar de schelpen van de heer Vanderhoeven [nvdr. de eerste voorzitter], die enkele interessante gegevens verstrekte over de voortplanting bij sommige soorten. Na wat ruilen en bestellen ging iedereen huiswaarts”. Daarna volgde een oproep voor de volgende vergadering, en een oproep om lid te worden. We citeren: “Hoe meer zielen hoe meer vreugd, luidt het spreekwoord. Laten we deze groepering opbouwen tot een machtig orgaan, dat kan wedijveren met de beste buitenlandse clubs.

This study aimed to provide a systematic survey and spatial distribution of shoreline malacofauna of the island using a total of 956 continuous 2 x 2 m plots. Substrate types were classified as sand, sand-pebble, rock-sand, rock-pebble, pebble- rock-coral rubble, boulder, and wood. One hundred mollusk species were identified from 44,465 individuals with 54 additional individuals still unresolved. Mollusks were found to be distributed according to the substrate type (composition and particle size) and are independent of the total area sampled. Substrates that are loose or unstable tend to have only few species while those that are compact have more species. Only bivalves were found in the sand substrate. Planaxids, nerites, trochids, and siphonarids were the dominant groups in substrates with rocks, pebbles, and coral rubble. Nudibranchs only occurred in rocky substrates. Nacellids and littorinids predominate particularly in boulders. Littorinids were also numerous in woody substrates. Juvenile trochids and planaxids were most abundant in regions with calm water while Cellana species and adult trochids were particular in areas exposed to strong currents. The morphological adaptations of different species enabled them to occur in specific habitat types.
