Biota Neotrop. 12(2): http://www.biotaneotropica.org.br/v12n2/ en/abstract?article+bn02112022012 Abstract: Olivella columellaris (Sowerby 1825) and O. semistriata (Gray 1839) are suspension‑feeding, swash‑surfing snails on tropical sandy beaches of the east Pacific. While they often are the numerically dominant macrofaunal element in their habitats, their biology is poorly understood; the two species actually have been confused in all of the few publications that address their ecology. Frequent misidentifications in publications and collections contributed also to an overestimation of the geographic overlap of the two species. To provide a sound taxonomic basis for further functional, ecological, and evolutionary investigations, we evaluated the validity of diagnostic traits in wild populations and museum collections, and defined workable identification criteria.

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.

    INVESTIGATION Understanding microRNA Regulation Involved in the Metamorphosis of the Veined Rapa Whelk (Rapana venosa) Hao Song,*,†,‡ Lu Qi,§ Tao Zhang,*,†,1 and Hai-yan Wang*,†,1 *Chinese Academy of Sciences Key Laboratory of Marine Ecology and Environmental Sciences, Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and †Laboratory for Marine Ecology and Environmental Science, Qingdao National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology, 266071, China, ‡University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing § 100049, China, and College of Fisheries, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266001, China ORCID ID: 0000-0003-2197-1562 (H.S.) ABSTRACT The veined rapa whelk (Rapana venosa) is widely consumed in China. Nevertheless, it preys on KEYWORDS oceanic bivalves, thereby reducing this resource worldwide. Its larval metamorphosis comprises a transition from miRNA pelagic to benthic form, which involves considerable physiological and structural changes and has vital roles in its metamorphic natural populations and commercial breeding. Thus, understanding the endogenous microRNAs (miRNAs) that transition drive metamorphosis is of great interest. This is the first study to use high-throughput sequencing to examine the gastropod alterations in miRNA expression that occur during metamorphosis in a marine gastropod. A total of 195 differ- larval entially expressed miRNAs were obtained. Sixty-five of these were expressed during the transition from pre- competent to competent larvae. Thirty-three of these were upregulated and the others were downregulated. Another 123 miRNAs were expressed during the transition from competent to postlarvae. Ninety-six of these were upregulated and the remaining 27 were downregulated. The expression of miR-276-y, miR-100-x, miR-183-x, and miR-263-x showed a .100-fold change during development, while the miR-242-x and novel-m0052-3p expression levels changed over 3000-fold.

HARDING Department of Fisheries Science, Virginia Institute of Marine Science, P. O. Box 1346, Gloucester Point, Virginia 23062 ABSTRACT Planktonic larvae of benthic fauna that can grow quickly in the plankton and reduce their larval period duration lessen their exposure to pelagic predators and reduce the potential for advection away from suitable habitats. Veined rapa whelks (Rapana venosa, Muricidae) lay egg masses that release planktonic veliger larvae from May through August in Chesapeake Bay, USA. Two groups of veliger larvae hatched from egg masses during June and August 2000 were cultured in the laboratory. Egg mass incubation time (time from deposition to hatch) ranged from 18–26 d at water temperatures between 22°C and 27°C.
