Hill - 4 Overview of Trochus Project It gives me great pleasure to address the Trochus End-of-project Workshop. This project, funded by the Department of Employment, Education and Training (DEET) under the Targeted Institutional Links (TIL) Program, was a direct result of the Northern Territory University (NTU) Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) with universities in the eastern Indonesian region. The project has provided an excellent example of the mutual benefits that can be achieved from the MOC, not only for the universities involved but for the community and the region. In this instance NTU has been working with the University Nusa Cendana (UNDANA) in Kupang. Two Indonesian staff from UNDANA have been involved in the Phase 1 Trochus Hatchery and Nutrition Project, Dr Felix Rebhung, a postdoctoral fellow working on trochus nutrition and Mr Ricky Gimin, undertaking a Master of Science with a scholarship provided by AUSAID, working on trochus reproduction and hatchery studies_ As part of the project, Dr Rebhung and Mr Gamin respectively undertook research at NTU for approximately 12 and 24 months. Milestones of the Project Program! Literature review and dissemination of information. Result Successfully completed: a compendium of selected reprints on trochus was published. Program 2 Maturation, spawning and juvenile production. Result Successfully completed: a state-of-the-art hatchery was developed for spawning and producing juvenile trochus. Program 3 Use of microalgae and seaweeds as food. Result Seaweeds in Darwin Harbour were identified and tested. Program 4 Nutritional requirements of trochus. Result Nutritional value and requirements of the trochus were determined. In addition to these activities, the project also conducted two fellowship training courses for staff from UNDANA and a training workshop for the Aboriginal communities in King Sound, Western Australia. The success of this project led to the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) funding a second phase of the trochus project, ' Reef reseeding research of the topshell Trochus niloticus in northern Australia, eastern Indonesia and the Pacific' in July 1995, a year before the completion of the phase I project. Phase I of the project had an operating grant of $250 000. A total budget of $1.49 million was committed to Phase 2 with the entire cash component of $680000 being contributed by ACIAR. Phase 2 commenced in July 1995 and is due for comple­ tion in June 1998. The project leader, Dr Chan Lee, Senior Lecturer in Aquaculture, said that stock enhancement of wild fisheries with hatch­ ery-produced seeds is one of the most exciting and difficult areas of research at present. With the world capture fishery at a standstill, stock enhancement via aquaculture could be a possible solution to overcoming the dwindling seafood supply in the 21st century. I would like personally to thank you for the invitation to open this workshop; this is certainly an exciting and relevant research project, and I congratulate Dr Chan Lee and all those involved. R.Holmes Vice-Chancellor Northern Territory University 5 Cooperative Research into the Biology of the Topshell Trochus niloticus from Northern Australia and Eastern Indonesia-an End-of-project Review C. L. Lee* and M. T. Toeliheret Abstract Four research programs involving (a) literature review, (b) spawning, hatchery system development and ju­ venile production, (c) use of microalgae and sea weeds as food and (d) nutritional studies were implemented as part of the cooperative research on trochus, TrQchus nilolicus, involving Australia and eastern Indonesia. During the three-year project, a closed recircuIating hatchery system using saline bore water was success­ fully developed for spawning and producing juvenile trochus at the Northern Territory University (NTU). The trochus life-cycle was successfully closed in the NTU hatchery in early 1996. In the same period, the nutritional value of (a) adult trochus, (b) hatchery-reared trochus up to 18 months old and (c) 17 species of macroalgae and mixed diatoms were studied. As part of the nutritional study, the types and occurrence of different species of macroalgae found in Darwin and Kupang harbours were determined. Preliminary trials indicated that some of the macroalgae may have potential as feed for juvenile trochus. The success of the research work led to the project's receiving additional funding from the Australian Centre for International Agriculture Research to expand the work into a larger regional project involving reef reseeding research with hatchery-produced juveniles in Australia, Indonesia and Vanuatu. THE research project 'Cooperative research into the NTU biology of the topshell Trochus niloticus from north­ ern Australia and eastern Indonesia', commonly DrC.

Belgium. SUMMARY: The gastropod family Hipponicidae comprises widely distributed but poorly known sedentary species. On the beach-rock of the coral reefs of Laing Island (Papua New Guinea) live rich populations of several gastropod Turbo species of which many specimens have attached to their shell a hipponicid gastropod attributed to a new species, Antisabia juliae. This new species, described in this paper, appears to have adapted its mode of life on live turbinids in several ways result- ing in morphological changes (thin basal plate loosely adherent to the supporting shell, functional eyes, very long snout, functional radula, small osphradium) and ethological changes (foraging behaviour: it appears to feed on the epiphytic com- munity growing on the host, in the vicinity of the “host” shell). Except for these characteristics, the mode of life appears quite similar to that of other hipponicid species with few big females surrounded by several much smaller males. Development occurs within the egg mass inside the female shell and a few young snails escape at the crawling stage. Key words: Mollusca, Gastropoda, ecology, Hipponicidae, Papua New Guinea, Indopacific. RESUMEN: BIOLOGÍA Y DESCRIPCIÓN DE ANTISABIA JULIAE SP.

Picardal Palawan, Philippines College of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, Western Philippines University Rafael M. Picardal and Roger G. Dolorosa Roger G. Dolorosa Abstract College of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, Western Philippines With the rising pressure of urbanization to biodiversity, this study aimed to obtain baseline information University on species richness of gastropods and bivalves in two protected bays (Turtle and Binunsalian) in Puerto Princesa City, Philippines before the establishment of the proposed mega resort facilities. A total of 108 species were recorded, (19 bivalves and 89 gastropods). The list includes two rare miters, seven recently described species and first record of Timoclea imbricata (Veneridae) in Palawan. Threatened species were not encountered during the survey suggesting that both bays had been overfished. Turtle Bay had very low visibility, low coral cover, substantial signs of ecosystem disturbances and shift from coral to algal communities. Although Binunsalian Bay had clearer waters and relatively high coral cover, associated fish and macrobenthic invertebrates were of low or no commercial values. Upon the establishment and operations of the resort facilities, follow-up species inventories and habitat assessment are suggested to evaluate the importance of private resorts in biodiversity restoration. Keywords: Binunsalian Bay, bivalves, gastropods, Palawan, species inventory, Turtle Bay 1. Introduction Gastropods and bivalves are among the most fascinating groups of molluscs that for centuries have attracted hobbyists, businessmen, ecologists and scientists among others from around the globe.

Vermeij; e-mail: [email protected] Downloaded from (Received 5 September 2013; accepted 10 February 2014) ABSTRACT The shells of many marine gastropods have ventrally directed serrations (serial projections) at the edge http://mollus.oxfordjournals.org/ of the adult outer lip. These poorly studied projections arise as extensions either of external spiral cords or of interspaces between cords. This paper describes taxonomic, phylogenetic, architectural and func- tional aspects of serrations. Cord-associated serrations occur in cerithiids, strombids, the personid Distorsio anus, ocenebrine muricids and some cancellariids. Interspace-associated serrations are phylo- genetically much more widespread, and occur in at least 16 family-level groups. The nature of serration may be taxonomically informative in some fissurellids, littorinids, strombids and costellariids, among other groups. Serrated outer lips occur only in gastropods in which the apex points more backward than upward, but the presence of serrations is not a necessary byproduct of the formation of spiral sculp- tural elements.

  • SPC Trochus Information Bulletin
    Secretariat of the Pacific Community ISSN 1025-7462 Issue 14 – July 2008 TROCHUS and other marine molluscs information bulletin Editorial Contents A year after the last publication, we are proud to present issue #14 of the SPC Trochus Information Bulletin. With the help of excellent contributors Trochus niloticus (Linnae 1767) from various fields, we have managed to put together a substantial and growth in Wallis Island well-balanced issue, offering you an array of research results, reviews and S. Lemouellic and C. Chauvet p. 2 reflections on topics related to the harvesting, aquaculture and manage- ment of marine molluscs in the Indo-Pacific. Growth rate of Trochus niloticus (L., 1767) fed different food types For starters, two studies on the growth of trochus in Wallis Island and Viet Do Huu Hoang et al. p. 7 Nam, contributed by Soazig Lemouellic and Claude Chauvet (University of New Caledonia) and by Do Huu Hoang and collaborators (Institute of Oce- Appraising the resilience anography, Viet Nam), respectively. Then, Simon Foale (James Cook Uni- of trochus and other versity, Australia) writes on the resilience of trochus and other nearshore artisanal fisheries in the Western Pacific, and Antoine Teitelbaum (SPC) nearshore artisanal fisheries and Sompert Rena (Vanuatu Fisheries Department) provide an update on in the Western Pacific marine gastropod and bivalve aquaculture in Vanuatu. Last but not least, Simon Foale p. 12 Antoine Teitelbaum and Kim Friedman (SPC) outline the outcomes of the Update on aquaculture reintroduction of giant clams to the Indo-Pacific region. As usual, we have included for your perusal a list of pertinent abstracts published in different of marine gastropods sources over the past 18 months.

  • Common Topshells: an Introduction to the Biology of Osilinus Lineatus with Notes on Other Species in the Genus
    Field Studies, 10, (2001) 115 - 160 COMMON TOPSHELLS: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE BIOLOGY OF OSILINUS LINEATUS WITH NOTES ON OTHER SPECIES IN THE GENUS J. H. CROTHERS Egypt Cottage, Fair Cross, Washford, Watchet. Somerset TA23 0LY ABSTRACT This review concentrates on those features of common topshell biology that are amenable to field study – distribution, abundance, population structure, response to environmental stimuli etc. It was written to help students plan simple but interesting projects by providing the essential background information. As the title suggests, it is concerned primarily with the northern species but includes sufficient information on the others to stimulate interest during Mediterranean and Macaronesian holidays. INTRODUCTION Many students of Biology are required to carry out some form of individual project as an integral part of their course. Despite reminders that assessment is usually directed at the manner in which the work was planned and executed (and not on the scientific interest of the result), the more able candidates often insist on choosing an ‘interesting’ topic - in an ‘interesting place’. For many of us, that ‘interesting place’ means a rocky sea shore. In that habitat, marine snails offer the widest range of possibilities for projects. A ‘Good Project Species*’ must (a) be easy to find, (b) be easy to identify, (c) show striking differences in some measurable feature (e.g., abundance, size, age, shape) that can be related to a measurable environmental factor and (d) have an adequate background literature, sufficient to allow the student both to predict patterns and also to interpret any results derived from the investigation. Osilinus Philippi, 1847 is a genus of herbivorous gastropod molluscs (snails) of rocky sea shores in the North-East Atlantic.
