Researched by Olwen Ager Refereed by Admin Authority Linnaeus, 1758 Other common - Synonyms - names Summary Description A large whelk up to 10 cm high and 6 cm wide. The shell has 7-8 whorls with spiral ridges. The shell is yellowish brown with irregular light and dark spiral areas. The aperture is broadly oval tapering to a point with a short wide siphonal canal leading from the base of aperture. Recorded distribution in Britain and Ireland Common off all British coasts. Global distribution Distributed from Iceland and Norway to Bay of Biscay and throughout the North Atlantic. Habitat Occasionally intertidal but mainly subtidal down to 1200 m. Found on muddy sand, gravel and also rock. Sometimes present in brackish waters. Depth range From low water to 1200m Identifying features https://www.marlin.ac.uk/habitats/detail/1560 3 Date: 2008-05-29 Common whelk (Buccinum undatum) - Marine Life Information Network Stout shell up to 10 cm in height. 7-8 whorls last whorl 70% of height. Broadly oval aperture. Additional information There is a significant fishery, which uses traps, for common whelks. The majority of the whelks are exported to the far east. Masses of lentil shaped eggs are often found attached to subtidal rocks, stones or shells. Empty egg masses, known as 'sea wash balls', are often found on the strandline and are sometimes mistaken for sponges. Buccinum undatum may be confused with the red whelk Neptunea antiqua. Neptunea antiqua does not have the coarse ribbing of Buccinum undatum and is not edible.

    Of Corncobs and Flat Artichokes (Pdf) [Neptunea]

    Of Corncobs and Flat Artichokes by Ronald L. Shimek, Ph. D. Here in the Pacific Northwest many shell collectors tend to think that we have been short-changed with regard to large-shelled snails. A couple of larger snail species are relatively common, Ceratostoma foliatum (Gmelin, 1791) and Fusitriton oregonesis (Redfield, 1848) come to mind but, by and large, the sizes of most local shelled gastropods range from small to smaller. There is, however, one relatively diverse group that contains several species whose individuals may become relatively large. Even better, depending on the area where they are found, some individuals are spectacularly- colored with interesting sculpture. These animals are, of course, the larger species in the genus Neptunea. The mention of Neptunea in a recent issue of The Dredgings, prompted me to write this essay. For some time I’ve wanted to contribute a short article and I guess it just took the necessary stimulus. A B C Figure A. Neptunea pribiloffensis. Specimen is about 10 cm (4 inches) long. Collected from the eastern Bering Sea. Figure B. Neptunea lyrata. Specimen is about 12 cm (5 inches) long. Collected from the Strait of Juan de Fuca, south of San Juan Island, Washington. Figure C. Neptunea heros (Gray, 1850) is one of the more “flashy” northern Neptunea species. This specimen was about 19 cm (7 inches) long and, when living, the shell color was an intense magenta. Figure D. Neptunea pribiloffensis female depositing her egg-capsule mass. The snail is about 75 mm (3 inches) long. Note the flaccid, baby- sitting anemone in the lower left corner.

    DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE OF SOME EPIBENTHIC INVERTEBRATES OF THE NORTHEASTERN GULF OF ALASKA WITH NOTES ON THE FEEDING BIOLOGY OF SELECTED SPECIES by Howard M. Feder and Stephen C. Jewett Institute of Marine Science University of Alaska Fairbanks, Alaska 99701 Final Report Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program Research Unit 5 August 1978 357 We thank Max Hoberg, University of Alaska, and the research group from the Northwest Fisheries Center, Seattle, Washington, for assistance aboard the MV North Pucijk. We also thank Lael Ronholt, Northwest Fisheries Center, for data on commercially important invertebrates. Dr. D. P. Abbott, of the Hopkins Marine Station, Stanford University, identified the tunicate material. We appreciate the assistance of the Marine Sorting Center and Max Hoberg of the University of Alaska for taxonomic assistance. We also thank Rosemary Hobson, Data Processing, University of Alaska, for help with coding problems and ultimate resolution of those problems. This study was funded by the Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior, through an interagency agreement with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce, as part of the Alaska Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program. SUMMARY OF OBJEC!CIVES, CONCLUSIONS, AND IMPLICATIONS WITH RESPECT TO OCS OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT The objectives of this study were to obtain (1) a qualitative and quantitative inventory of dominant epibenthic species within the study area, (2) a description of spatial distribution patterns of selected benthic invertebrate species, and (3) preliminary observations of biological interrelationships between selected segments of the benthic biota. The trawl survey was effective, and excellent spatial coverage was obtained, One hundred and thirty-three stations were successfully occupied, yielding a mean epifaunal invertebrate biomass of 2.6 g/mz.

Received 29 April 2014, revised version accepted 23 May 2014 The taxonomy of sinistral Neptunea species from the Pliocene of the North Sea Basin and the Quaternary of NW Europe is investigated. All sinistral forms are considered to be part of a single clade. Morphological varieties from the Pliocene successions of the southern North Sea Basin are documented. A remarkable increase in the number of varieties occurs in a short stratigraphic interval in the latest Piacenzian (Lillo Formation, Kruisschans Member, Antwerp area, Belgium). The Pliocene morphs are for the moment grouped as forms within Neptunea angulata Harmer, 1914 (non N. angulata Wood, 1848). Several of the morphs appear to lack intermediate forms and thus the presence of sibling species may be demonstrated when more material will become available. During the Pleistocene, the sinistral species N. inversa Harmer, 1918, occurred in NW Europe. South of the North Sea Basin the last occurrence of the species is at least the Middle Pleistocene MIS 13.

We studied 18 species of Buccinidae that belong to eight different genera and inhabit the China coastal seas. We analyzed the patterns of divergence between an outgroup and basal ingroup taxa, the monophyly of the genus Neptunea, and the position of one unnamed species within the Buccinidae. A phylogenetic tree (neighbor-joining (NJ) method) was reconstructed based on the sequences of 18S rRNA, 28S rRNA and COI, with Rapana venosa as outgroup. The NJ tree indicated that the 18 species could be divided into five groups. The genus Buccinum was monophyletic, whereas Neptunea was shown to be paraphyletic since it included Siphonalia subdilatata and Neptunea sp., a new species.
