India 4Veer Wajekar Arts, Science & Commerce College, Phunde, Uran, Dist. – Raigad, Navi Mumbai, (M.S.) India Abstract Diversity of macrobenthos from Panvel creek remain poorly known. Here, the species composition and abundance of macrobenthos is explored from June 2018 to May 2019 to assess the ecological status of the creek. 18 species of macrobenthic fauna consisting of 14 genera, 12 families, 06 orders and 05 classes were recorded. The most abundant taxa were polychaetes, crustaceans, gastropods and pelecypods. Species belonging to Polynoidae, Cerithiidae, Potamididae, Neritidae and Trapezidae shows highest distribution and abundance. The creek is dominated by Perinereis cultrifera, Clypeomorus bifasciata, Potamides cingulatus, Nerita oryzarum and Neotrapezium sublaevigatum. N. sublaevigatum of the family Trapezidae from the class Bivalvia is recorded as an opportunistic taxa which exploits disturbed condition due to environmental stress. This study showed that at present though the creek is resourceful and supports the coastal marine life, is under considerable stress of anthropogenic inputs. Coastal environment of Panvel creek is deteriorating due to ongoing construction of Navi Mumbai International Airport and unplanned development activities. Present information could be helpful as a baseline data for further study of anthropogenic inputs on coastal ecosystem of Panvel creek. -

Abstract This paper is a compilation of the records for halacarid and pontarachnid mite species associated with mangroves. A total of 23 halacarid species (Acari: Halacaridae) belonging to the five genera Acarothrix, Agauopsis, Copidognathus, Isobactrus and Rhombognathus and six pontarachnid species (Acari: Pontarachnidae) belonging to the genus Litarachna are associated with various microhabitats of mangroves. Mites are found mainly in the algae and sediment covering pneumatophores and aerial roots. Key words: Checklist, Mangrove, Halacaridae, Pontarachnidae. Introduction Tidal mangrove forests cover a vast area of world’s coastlines and are precious resources for multiple economic and ecological reasons. As much as 39.3 million acres of mangrove forests are present along the warm-water coastlines of tropical oceans all over the world. However, mangroves are diminishing worldwide at a faster rate than other terrestrial forests, making them one of the most threatened ecosystems in the world. Mangroves are habitats for a diverse aerial, terrestrial and marine fauna (Nagelkerken et al. 2008). Vast amounts of intertidal small fauna and meiofauna are associated with mangroves, mainly on turf growing on mangrove aerial roots and pneumatophores (e.g. -

ABSTRACT The family Neritidae has representatives in tropical and subtropical regions that occur in a variety of environments, and its known fossil record dates back to the late Cretaceous. However there have been few studies of molecular phylogeny in this family. We performed a phylogenetic reconstruction of the family Neritidae using the COI (722 bp) and the 16S rRNA (559 bp) regions of the mitochondrial genome. Neighbor-joining, maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference were performed. The best phylogenetic reconstruction was obtained using the COI region, and we consider it an appropriate marker for phylogenetic studies within the group. Consensus analysis (COI +16S rRNA) generally obtained the same tree topologies and confirmed that the genus Nerita is monophyletic. The consensus analysis using parsimony recovered a monophyletic group consisting of the genera Neritina , Septaria , Theodoxus , Puperita , and Clithon , while in the Bayesian analyses Theodoxus is separated from the other genera. -

Considering that marine environments support a vast global biodiversity and provide a 16 variety of ecosystem functions and services, monitoring of the coastal and intertidal water pH 17 assumes obvious significance. Because current monitoring approaches using meters and loggers 18 are typically limited in application in heterogeneous environments and are financially prohibitive, 19 we sought to evaluate an approach to acidification biomonitoring using living gastropod shells. We 20 investigated snail populations exposed naturally to corrosive water in Brunei (Borneo, South East 21 Asia). We show that surface erosion features of shells are generally more sensitive to acidic water 22 exposure than other attributes (shell mass) in a study of rocky-shore snail populations (Nerita 23 chamaeleon) exposed to greater or lesser coastal geochemical acidification (acid sulphate soil 24 seepage, ASS), by virtue of their spatial separation. -

Tropical Intertidal Gastropods: Insights on Diversity, Abundance, Distribution and Shell Morphometrics of Pulau Bidong, Malaysia Nursalwa Baharuddin, Noor Hamizah M
Tropical intertidal gastropods: insights on diversity, abundance, distribution and shell morphometrics of Pulau Bidong, Malaysia Nursalwa Baharuddin, Noor Hamizah M. Basir, Siti Nur H. Zainuddin Faculty of Science and Marine Environment, Universiti Malaysia Terengganu, 21030 Kuala Nerus, Terengganu, Malaysia. Corresponding author: N. Baharuddin, [email protected] Abstract. The intertidal zone or littoral zone is the part of the ocean that is underwater during high tide and exposed during low tide. The intertidal ecosystem is continually under pressure from both humans and the natural elements of waves and tidal shifts. The organisms that reside here must be able to tolerate extreme changes to physicochemical factors such as light, temperature, water movement, salinity and oxygen. Gastropods from phylum Mollusca are highly resistant and adaptable to extreme changes in the environment. This study investigates the diversity, abundance, and distribution of tropical intertidal gastropods in different areas. Also, it examines how shell morphometrics and biomass affect these factors. Sampling was done in Pantai Pasir Cina (PPC) and Pantai Pasir Pengkalan (PPP) at Pulau Bidong, Malaysia in August 2018. Transect lines of 60 m × 10 m were laid out perpendicular to the shore. Six quadrats of 1 m2 were placed at three tidal zonation’s: high, mid, and low tide. A total of 1326 individual gastropods represented by eight families (Littorinidae, Muricidae, Planaxidae, Siphonariidae, Neritidae, Nacillidae, Patellidae and Trochidae) were recorded, along with five subclasses namely Ceanogastropoda, Heterobranchia, Neritimorpha, Patellogastropoda and Vetigastropoda. A total number of 19 species were recorded from both study sites. The Shannon diversity index, H’ showed that at the intertidal zones at both locations the diversity was less than two, indicating low diversity. -

Zoological Studies 47(4): 481-494. Molluscs from the gastropod family Neritidae are primarily found in marine habitats, but they are also known from brackish and freshwater systems. In Singapore, there is a paucity of information on the diversity of Neritids in all 3 aquatic environments. Herein, we provide taxonomic descriptions and distributional data for locally occurring Neritids. Surveys of 31 sites over a period of 10 yr yielded a total of 19 species, of which 6 species are considered new records for Singapore. http://zoolstud.sinica.edu.tw/Journals/47.4/481.pdf Key words: Clithon, Estuarine, Nerita, Neritina, Snail.

The literature review involved seven studies published from 1934 to 2003, which collectively reported 112 species from 61 genera and 37 families of Mollusca on Gueishan Island. Through our field investigation, we identified 34 species from 28 genera and 23 families. Fourteen of these species were new records on Gueishan Island: Liolophura japonica, Lottia luchuana, Nerita costata, Nerita rumphii, Diplom- matina suganikeiensis, Littoraria undulata, Solenomphala taiwanensis, Assiminea sp., Siphonaria laciniosa, Laevapex nipponica, Carychium hachijoensis, Succinea erythrophana, Zaptyx crassilamellata, and Allopeas pyrgula.
