MOLLUSCA Gracilis M Costello, Emblow and White (eds), 2001 e/ongala lullien & Cal vet, 1903 MOLLUSCA gracilis M. Sal's, 1935 malsushi-mana Toriumi, 1951 Compiled by Philippe Bouchet, Jacques Le Renard and mlllabilis Toriumi, 1951 ramosa (Robertson, 1900) Serge Gofas The Mollusca part of ERMS is based on CLEMAM (Checklist of European Marine Molluscs), a database at the website http://www.mnhn.frlbase/malaco.html. The need to compile a check-list of the European marine molluscs was discussed during the 10th International Mal acological Congress (Ti.ibingen, 1989) and a resolution was passed to this effect by the General Assembly of Unitas Malacologica, and Anders Waren (Stockholm) and Philippe Bouchet (Paris) were asked to investigate into its fe asability. The acronym CLEMAM �heck 1ist of the guropean MArine Molluscs) was chosen because of its similarity to CLOFNAM and CLOFETA, the very successful regional checklists of Fishes compiled under the umbrella of UNESCO. In 1994, an ad hoc meeting, funded by Unitas Malacologica, brought together in Paris malacologists representing several regional or national lists of marine molluscs: ( i) Riccardo Giannuzzi-Savelli, representing the Catalogo annotato dei molluschi marini del Mediterraneo, compiled by B. Sabelli, R. Giannuzzi-Savelli and D. Bedulli (1992) fo r Societa Italiana di Malacologia, and published by Libreria Naturalistica Bolognese, Bologna. (ii) Elizabeth Platts, representing the Checklist of British Marine Mo llusca, compiled by D. Heppell and S. Smith (1991), and published by the National Museums of Scotland. (iii) Jon-Arne Sneli, representing the Annotated check­ list of marine molluscs of the No rwegian coast and adjacent waters, compiled by T. Hoisaeter (1986) and published in Sarsia, 71: 73-145. In the fo llowing year, electronic versions of these three lists, in addition to a card catalogue of post- I 960 names, were merged by Serge Gofas into a single list in text fo rmat. The resulting list was then transformed into database fo rmat by Jacques Le Renard, and the first CLEMAM was presented at the 12th International Malacological Congress (Vigo, 1995). Considering the data added since 1995, CLEMAM currently contains ca. 15,000 names and over 3,300 valid species. New literature is permanently scanned for new material. Old literature is also being scanned fo r synonyms and gaps in taxonomical coverage. As of 1999, illustrations of type material of valid species and synonyms are being added to the backbone of taxonomical and nomenclatural information. All native species, benthic or planktonic, and introduced species that have become established are listed in CLEMAM. Old and/or unconfirmed records of non­ native species are excluded. CLEMAM records published information only and does not make new taxonomical decisions. When different state-of-the-art taxonomical opinions exist in the recent Iitterature, the taxonomic editor records what he thinks best reflects the needs of the users of the database.

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.

Background Seagrasses (Zostera spp) are marine flowering plants that develop on sands and muds in sheltered intertidal and shallow subtidal areas. Seagrass beds are important marine habitats but are vulnerable to a range of human induced pressures. Their vulnerability and importance to habitat creation and ecological functioning is recognised in their inclusion on the recommended Priority Marine Features list for Scotland’s seas. Prior to this study, there were few confirmed records of Zostera in Orkney waters. This study combined a predictive modelling approach with boat-based surveys to enhance under- standing of seagrass distribution in Orkney and inform conservation management.

    PHYLOGENY AND HISTORICAL BIOGEOGRAPHY OF LIMPETS OF THE ORDER PATELLOGASTROPODA BASED ON MITOCHONDRIAL DNA SEQUENCES TOMOYUKI NAKANO AND TOMOWO OZAWA Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Nagoya University, Nagoya 464-8602,Japan (Received 29 March 2003; accepted 6June 2003) ABSTRACT Using new and previously published sequences of two mitochondrial genes (fragments of 12S and 16S ribosomal RNA; total 700 sites), we constructed a molecular phylogeny for 86 extant species, covering a major part of the order Patellogastropoda. There were 35 lottiid, one acmaeid, five nacellid and two patellid species from the western and northern Pacific; and 34 patellid, six nacellid and three lottiid species from the Atlantic, southern Africa, Antarctica and Australia. Emarginula foveolata fujitai (Fissurellidae) was used as the outgroup. In the resulting phylogenetic trees, the species fall into two major clades with high bootstrap support, designated here as (A) a clade of southern Tethyan origin consisting of superfamily Patelloidea and (B) a clade of tropical Tethyan origin consisting of the Acmaeoidea. Clades A and B were further divided into three and six subclades, respectively, which correspond with geographical distributions of species in the following genus or genera: (AÍ) north­ eastern Atlantic (Patella ); (A2) southern Africa and Australasia ( Scutellastra , Cymbula-and Helcion)', (A3) Antarctic, western Pacific, Australasia ( Nacella and Cellana); (BÍ) western to northwestern Pacific (.Patelloida); (B2) northern Pacific and northeastern Atlantic ( Lottia); (B3) northern Pacific (Lottia and Yayoiacmea); (B4) northwestern Pacific ( Nipponacmea); (B5) northern Pacific (Acmaea-’ânà Niveotectura) and (B6) northeastern Atlantic ( Tectura). Approximate divergence times were estimated using geo­ logical events and the fossil record to determine a reference date.

Wilson1, J. Zhang3,15 and N. J. Bax2,16 Abstract Background: Our knowledge of the benthic fauna at lower bathyal to abyssal (LBA, > 2000 m) depths off Eastern Australia was very limited with only a few samples having been collected from these habitats over the last 150 years. In May–June 2017, the IN2017_V03 expedition of the RV Investigator sampled LBA benthic communities along the lower slope and abyss of Australia’s eastern margin from off mid-Tasmania (42°S) to the Coral Sea (23°S), with particular emphasis on describing and analysing patterns of biodiversity that occur within a newly declared network of offshore marine parks. Methods: The study design was to deploy a 4 m (metal) beam trawl and Brenke sled to collect samples on soft sediment substrata at the target seafloor depths of 2500 and 4000 m at every 1.5 degrees of latitude along the western boundary of the Tasman Sea from 42° to 23°S, traversing seven Australian Marine Parks.

  • Otago Submarine Canyons: Mapping and Macrobenthos
    Otago Submarine Canyons: Mapping and Macrobenthos Bryce A. Peebles A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of Science at the University of Otago December 2013 ii Abstract Submarine canyons are steep-sided “V’ or “U” shaped valleys that incise continental slopes worldwide. The geophysical and oceanographic features of submarine canyons can produce environmental conditions that cause benthic assemblages to be distinctive and productive compared to those of the adjacent slope; however the assemblages are potentially vulnerable to anthropogenic impacts, including bottom fishing. In order to help inform policy and management, submarine canyons need to be objectively defined topographically and their benthic assemblages characterised. A canyon network occurs off the Otago Peninsula, south-eastern New Zealand, but lack of detailed bathymetric data and adequate benthic sampling has limited study of the canyons. This thesis outlines a method of defining submarine canyon areas and examines epifaunal and infaunal assemblages of the Otago canyons and adjacent slope. Objective definition of the Otago canyon network in the GIS software GRASS along with the steps to use this methodology worldwide are described. Archival count data from 1966-74 on the epifauna are analysed using the PRIMER suite of programs to characterise epifaunal assemblages. Anomurans, polychaetes, asteroids and ascidians make up 70% of the epifaunal canyon assemblage. The epifaunal assemblage is clearly defined by water depth and recognisable from 380 m. Quantitative sampling of infauna in Saunders canyon, Papanui canyon and adjacent slope was carried out to examine infaunal community structure of the canyons and adjacent slope. Infaunal canyon assemblages are dominated by polychaetes, amphipods, ophiuroids, decapods and isopods in canyons, accounting for 75% of collected individuals.
