Density This study aims to describe the fluctuation of T. palustris Terebralia palustris density in a year of observation. This research was conducted Pannikiang for ten months from August 2018 to July 2019. There were two research stations. Each station has a large plot measuring 10m x 10m and in it, five small plots are measuring 1m x 1m. Article history: Measurements of environmental parameters such as Received: 06/08/2019 temperature, salinity, and pH were carried out in situ. This Revised: 17/12/2019 snail meat as much as 100gr also analyzed proximate. The Accepted: 17/04/2020 proximate analysis of the snail shows that crude protein content is 18.73% so that the snail is very suitable to be used as a source of protein. The highest density is in July 2019 and the lowest density is in August 2018. Copyright © 2020 Universitas Islam Negeri Raden Fatah Palembang.

  • Constructional Morphology of Cerithiform Gastropods

Present address: The Kyoto University Museum, Yoshida Honmachi, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606-8501, Japan (email: [email protected]) Received December 19, 2005; Revised manuscript accepted May 26, 2006 Abstract. Cerithiform gastropods possess high-spired shells with small apertures, anterior canals or si- nuses, and usually one or more spiral rows of tubercles, spines or nodes. This shell morphology occurs mostly within the superfamily Cerithioidea. Several morphologic characters of cerithiform shells are adap- tive within five broad functional areas: (1) defence from shell-peeling predators (external sculpture, pre- adult internal barriers, preadult varices, adult aperture) (2) burrowing and infaunal life (burrowing sculp- tures, bent and elongated inhalant adult siphon, plough-like adult outer lip, flattened dorsal region of last whorl), (3) clamping of the aperture onto a solid substrate (broad tangential adult aperture), (4) stabilisa- tion of the shell when epifaunal (broad adult outer lip and at least three types of swellings located on the left ventrolateral side of the last whorl in the adult stage), and (5) righting after accidental overturning (pro- jecting dorsal tubercles or varix on the last or penultimate whorl, in one instance accompanied by hollow ventral tubercles that are removed by abrasion against the substrate in the adult stage). Most of these char- acters are made feasible by determinate growth and a countdown ontogenetic programme.

  • Paleocene Freshwater, Brackish-Water and Marine Molluscs from Al-Khodh, Oman
    Late Cretaceous to ?Paleocene freshwater, brackish-water and marine molluscs from Al-Khodh, Oman Simon Schneider, heinz A. KollmAnn & mArtin PicKford Bivalvia and Gastropoda from the late Campanian to Maastrichtian deltaic Al-Khodh Formation and from the overlying ?Paleocene shallow marine Jafnayn Limestone Formation of northeastern Oman are described. Freshwater bivalves include three species of Unionidae, left in open nomenclature, due to limited preservation. These are the first pre-Pleistocene unionids recorded from the Arabian Peninsula, where large freshwater bivalves are absent today. Brackish-water bivalves are represented by two species of Cyrenidae. Geloina amithoscutana sp. nov. extends the range of Geloina to the Mesozoic and to ancient Africa. Muscatella biszczukae gen. et sp. nov. has a unique combination of characters not shared with other genera in the Cyrenidae. Brackish-water gastropods comprise Stephaniphera coronata gen. et sp. nov. in the Hemisinidae; Subtemenia morgani in the new genus Subtemenia (Pseudomelaniidae); Cosinia sp. (Thiaridae); Pyrazus sp. (Batillariidae); and Ringiculidae sp. indet. From the Jafnayn Limestone Formation, several marginal marine mollusc taxa are also reported. The fossils are assigned to four mollusc communities and associations, which are indicative of different salinity regimes. • Key words: Unionidae, Cyrenidae, Pseudomelaniidae, Hemisinidae, taxonomy, palaeobiogeography.

Hajaniaina Ratsimbazafy*, Marc Kochzius *[email protected] INTRODUCTIONS • Genetic diversity covers the genetic variation among individuals within a population and among populations. Species diversity is regulated by combined biological and physical process. Divergence is cause by evolutionary process. • Great dispersal potential is associated with high gene flow. • the "South Equatorial Current" (SEC) in the Indian Ocean could facilitate dispersal by drifting propagules and planktonic larvae in the Eastern African region. • Terebralia palustris (Linnaeus), the largest prosobranch dominating the surface of the muddy substrates of mangrove forests, have a planktonic Figure of a Terebralia palustris larvae but the duration is still unknown. Not much information are available about T. palustris.

  • Status, Diversity and Conservation of the Mangrove Forests of Sri Lanka
    J. South Asian nat. Hist., ISSN 1022-0828. January, 1998. Vol.3, No. 1, pp. 79-102, 2 figs., 9 tabs. © Wildlife Heritage Trust of Sri Lanka, 95 Cotta Road, Colombo 8, Sri Lanka. Status, diversity and conservation of the mangrove forests of Sri Lanka Mangala de Silva" and Padma K. de Silva* Abstract In Sri Lanka, mangrove forests are found scattered mainly along the north-western, north­ eastern and eastern coasts bordering lagoons and river estuaries. The area covered by the mangrove forests today is estimated as only 87 km2 (Legg & Jewell, 1995). Most of the mangrove forest areas have been subjected to human interference for a long time, and undisturbed mangrove forests are seldom found. In most areas, the mangrove forests are usually restricted to a narrow strip, sometimes only a few trees deep. The largest mangrove forest, which is in the Kala Oya estuary, is not more than 0.5 km deep and extends upstream about 2 km from the river mouth. The low level of tidal fluctuations is mainly responsible for the narrowness of the mangrove forests as only a small area comes under the tidal influence. A clear zonation is not seen in most localities because of the narrowness of the mangrove forest and the human interference. Two major kinds of mangrove forests, namely, low-saline and high-saline, could be distinguished by the floristic composition; three other specialised high saline types, scrub, overwash, and basin, are also sometimes distinguished depending on the flooding characteristics and topography. Twenty three true mangrove species of trees and shrubs have been recorded in Sri Lanka, the common species being Rhizophora mucronata, Avicennia marina, Excoecaria agallocha, Acanthus ilicifolius, Lumnitzera racemosa, Sonneratia caseolaris, Bruguiera gymnorhiza and Aegiceras corniculatum.

Ruwa for his many suggestions during our field work. Most of the pictures (the beautiful ones !) are due to Riccardo Innocenti. Special thanks are due to Dr. E. Okemwa (KMFRI Director) for providing us many facilities during our work in Kenya. Our roads and Kenyan mangroves would probably never have met if one of these roads had not one day crossed Philip’s road. For those who have some experience of Kenya coastal ecology, Philip obviously cannot be anybody but Philip Polk, magnanimous spirit and, incidentally, Professor of Ecology at the Free University of Brussels. MANGROVE TREES Mangroves is the general name for several species (belonging to different families) of trees (including a palm tree) able to grow in an environment with 2.0-3.8 % of salinity. Mangrove is also the name for the whole trees association ; in this latter case the term mangal can also be used (as well as in Portuguese and French).

Curr Trends Oceanogr Mar Sci 3: 113. DOI: 10.29011/CTOMS-113.100013 Received Date: 25 June, 2020; Accepted Date: 17 July, 2020; Published Date: 23 July, 2020 Abstract The faunal and floral species have different eco-services, one of which is carbon sequestration. The loss of such species has a significant impact on environment concern. Under this concept, this work is an attempt to understand the carbon accumula- tion through Terebralia palustris in the selected mangrove environments of Andaman Islands. Three mangrove sites located in and around Port Blair coastal regions was selected i.e. Carbyns Cove Creek, Chidiyatapu and Wandoor. The species Terebralia palustris was collected and their flesh and shell was estimated for biometric, organic carbon and carbonate content by the Loss on Ignition and acid titration methods. The randomly collected specimens length and width in the studied period, suggested that the Carbyns Cove creek station represented almost similar.
