The following lists include 130 species of Mollusca that have recently been added to the fauna of Southern New England, mainly through the researches of the dredging party of the United States Fish Commission ' ". on the steamer ' Fish Hawk The greater portion of these, with several others undetermined or not yet described, were taken on September 4 and 13 and October 2, on the outer bank or slope, 70 to 115 miles south from Martha's -Vineyard and Newport, K. I., in 65 to 500 fathoms. For a list of these localities see p. — In these lists those species which were unrecorded from or entirely new to ISTew England or to the northeastern coast of America are indicated by an asterisk previously' species asterisks ; ; undescribed by two those known previously from our northern coasts have N prefixed ; those from the middle i^arts of the coast have m, and are neither specially southern nor northern ; those oceanic species belonging to the surface fauua have o prefixed; southern forms are designated by s; those that are also known from Europe are designated by e ; those peculiar to America by A. In the tables, living specimens are indicated by an asterisk; dead ones by a dagger ; m signifies many; sv, several; r, rare; I, unusually large; j, young.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: PATTERNS IN
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: PATTERNS IN DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTION OF BENTHIC MOLLUSCS ALONG A DEPTH GRADIENT IN THE BAHAMAS Michael Joseph Dowgiallo, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Marjorie L. Reaka-Kudla Department of Biology, UMCP Species richness and abundance of benthic bivalve and gastropod molluscs was determined over a depth gradient of 5 - 244 m at Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas by deploying replicate benthic collectors at five sites at 5 m, 14 m, 46 m, 153 m, and 244 m for six months beginning in December 1993. A total of 773 individual molluscs comprising at least 72 taxa were retrieved from the collectors. Analysis of the molluscan fauna that colonized the collectors showed overwhelmingly higher abundance and diversity at the 5 m, 14 m, and 46 m sites as compared to the deeper sites at 153 m and 244 m. Irradiance, temperature, and habitat heterogeneity all declined with depth, coincident with declines in the abundance and diversity of the molluscs. Herbivorous modes of feeding predominated (52%) and carnivorous modes of feeding were common (44%) over the range of depths studied at Lee Stocking Island, but mode of feeding did not change significantly over depth. One bivalve and one gastropod species showed a significant decline in body size with increasing depth. Analysis of data for 960 species of gastropod molluscs from the Western Atlantic Gastropod Database of the Academy of Natural Sciences (ANS) that have ranges including the Bahamas showed a positive correlation between body size of species of gastropods and their geographic ranges. There was also a positive correlation between depth range and the size of the geographic range.

For this purpose, the material collected from the area between the years 2005 and 2009, within the framework of different projects, was investigated. The investigation of the material taken from various biotopes ranging at depths between 0 and 100 m resulted in identification of 286 mollusc species and 27542 specimens belonging to them. Among the encountered species, Vitreolina cf. perminima (Jeffreys, 1883) is new record for the Turkish molluscan fauna and 18 species are being new records for the Turkish Levantine coast. A checklist of Iskenderun mollusc fauna is given based on the present study and the studies carried out beforehand, and a total of 424 moluscan species are known to be distributed in Iskenderun Bay.

    Quaderno di Studi e Notizie di Storia Naturale della Romagna Quad. Studi Nat. Romagna, 26: 1-80 giugno 2008 ISSN 1123-6787 Cesare Tabanelli ASSOCIAZIONI DI PALEOCOMUNITÁ BATIALI A MOLLUSCHI BENTONICI NEL PLIOCENE DELLA ROMAGNA Metodologie ed indicazioni per nuove tematiche Riassunto L’autore analizza l’importanza che i fattori temperatura e batimetria hanno sulla distribuzione del bentos marino. Esamina poi i riferimenti bibliografici secondo i quali durante il Pliocene il Mare Mediterraneo era contrassegnato da una circolazione delle acque di tipo oceanico. Stando a questo modello erano presenti due corpi d’acqua aventi peculiarità termiche diverse: uno superiore di acque temperate calde (termosfera) ed uno inferiore di acque profonde fredde (psicrosfera). Conseguentemente essi dovevano essere separati da una zona di transizione (termoclino). Attualmente in Mediterraneo vige invece uno stato di omotermia calda. L’autore propone quindi di inquadrare le paleocomunità a molluschi bentonici relative al piano batiale, in tre diversi tipi di associazioni così denominate: - Associazione delle Paleocomunità soggette all’influenza della Termosfera (A.P.T.). - Associazione delle Paleocomunità soggette all’influenza della Psicrosfera (A.P.P.). - Associazione delle Paleocomunità Interposte (A.P.I.), ubicate nella zona del termoclino. Le prime due associazioni sono soprannominate “primarie” e le relative specie, sulla base dei dati riscontrati in campagna e desunti dalla bibliografia, vengono distinte in “esclusive” e “preferenziali”. Con il termine “abituali” sono state invece indicate quelle specie euriterme capaci di adattarsi sia sui fondali sottoposti all’influenza della termosfera che della psicrosfera. Questa suddivisione in categorie ha condotto alla realizzazione della tabella 1. Questa tiene conto solo delle specie ritrovate nei depositi profondi della successione romagnola e conseguentemente fa riferimento anche a dati inediti.

No general list of Maine shells—including land, fresh-water and marine species—-has been published since 1843, when Dr. J. W. Mighels’ list was printed in the Boston Journal of Natural History. Dr. Mighels may be called the “Pioneer” conchologist of Maine. By profession a physician, in his leisure hours he was a most enthusiastic collector and student of all forms of molluscan life. Enthusiasm such as his was “contagious” and he soon had gathered about him a little band of active students and collectors. Of these Capt. Walden of the U. S. Revenue Cutter “Morris” was dredging in deep water and exploring the eastern shores and among the islands, and “by his zeal procured many rare species;” Dr.

  • Draft Proposal for an Orkney Scallop Regulating Order
    2014 Draft Proposal for an Orkney Scallop Regulating Order Orkney Sustainable 4 Ferry Terminal Bu Kirkwall Pier, Kirkwall Orkney KW15 1HU orkneysustainablefi [1] Application to Establish a Regulating Order in terms of Sea Fisheries (Shellfish) Act 1967 for Scallop Species in and around Orkney Executive Summary Scallop fishermen in Orkney understand the principles of, and operate to ensure that, the Orkney scallop fishery can be handed as a sustainable fishery for the next generation. A result of their observation and their recent industry initiated research project ‘Spatial Dynamics in the Orkney Dive Fishery’ ( Annex VII) has prompted these fishermen seek a Regulating Order to provide for the maintenance and improvement of the fisheries for King Scallop (Pecten maximus) and Queen Scallop (Pecten opercularis) (known as queenies). As the effort being directed against the Orkney Scallop fishery does not solely arise from the operation of these progressive fishermen, having examined all the possibilities to ensure a sustainable fishery have concluded that the obtaining of a Regulating Order will be the most effective action in obtaining their objective. The King Scallop fishery makes an important contribution to Orkney’s total shellfish and whitefish industry and to the isles’ economy in general. Some shellfish stocks such as Buckies (Buccinum) and Queen Scallops in Orkney waters have been over-fished in the past and as a result their stocks have collapsed which means they can no longer contribute to the local economy nor be used as part of a flexible seasonal fishing plan by fishermen. Without proper evidence it is not possible to say what the state of many stocks are.

Geijskes, then Director of the Suriname Museum, Paramaribo, visited me and asked for my help. During the years (since 1938) Dr. Geijskes had stayed in Suriname, he had collected marine Mollusca in a great number of localities, in the Holocene so called shell- ridges, as well as on the coast and in the estuaries. He was sure that his collection contained a great number of species, and that their distribution over the localities was interesting. Geijskes is not a malacologist himself and he did not have at his disposal the literature and material for comparison necessary to identify his collection. Therefore he doubted if the list of names he had gradually drawn up from labels provided by malacologists to whom he had sent shells, and from information picked up during casual visits to 4 ZOOLOGISCHE VERHANDELINGEN 101 (1969) European museums when he was on leave, could be published.

Mittelhauser Specimens cataloged by: Darrin Kelly Glen Mittelhauser Kit Sheehan Taxonomy assistance: Glen Mittelhauser, Maine Natural History Observatory Anne Favolise, Humboldt Field Research Institute Thomas Trott, Gerhard Pohle P.G. Ross 2 William Procter started work on the survey of the marine fauna of the Mount Desert Island region in the spring of 1926 after a summer’s spotting of the territory with a hand dredge. This work was continued from the last week in June until the first week of September through 1932. The specimens from this collection effort were brought back to Mount Desert Island recently. Although Procter noted that this inventorywas not intended to generate a complete list of all species recorded from the Mount Desert Island area, this inventory is the foundation on which all future work on the marine fauna in the region will build. An inven- tory of this magnitude has not been replicated in the region to date. This publication is the result of a major recovery effort for the collection initiated and funded by Acadia National Park. Many of the specimens in this collection were loosing preservative or were already dried out. Over a two year effort, Maine Natural History Observatory worked closely with Acadia National Park to re-house the collection in archival containers, re-hydrate specimens (through stepped concentrations of ethyl alcohol) that had dried, fully catalog the collection, and update the synonymy of specimens.
