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].

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.

  • Clitambonitoid Brachiopods from the Middle and Upper Ordovician of the Oslo Region, Norway
    Clitambonitoid brachiopods from the Middle and Upper Ordovician of the Oslo Region, Norway OLEV VINN & NILS SPJELDNÆS Vinn, O. & Spjeldnæs, N. Clitambonitoid brachiopodsfrom the Middle and Upper Ordovician of the Oslo Region, Norway. Norsk Geologisk Tidsskrift, Vol. 80, pp. 275-288. Oslo 2000. ISSN 0029-196X. Nine species of clitambonitoid brachiopods have been described from the Middle and Upper Ordovician of the Oslo Region, Norway. They include, Hemipronites? sp., Clitambonites schmidti, Clinambon anomalus, llmarinia dimorpha, Vellamo oandoensis, Kullervo hibernica, Kullervo aff. parva, Kullervo aff. punctata and Kullarvo cf. lacunata. The palaeobiogeography and palaeoecology of the Upper Ordovician clitambonitoid brachiopods are discussed. The species found in the northem and western parts of the Oslo Region are mostly related to those of the Balti c carbonate platform, despite surprisingly large differences in lithology. The foreland basin (the Oslo-Scania confacies belt of Jaanusson & Bergstrøm, 1980) has a different fauna, dorninated by pandernic species of Kullervo. Thisgenus is supposed to have developed in parallel in Avalonia (pandernic species and the North American species) and Baltica (all endernic species to Baltica), from an early kullervo of either Baltic or Avalonian origin. The rapid spread of the genus in the North Atlantic area is linked -in time - to the large bentonite in the Middle Caradocian.
