PREFACE Biological resources include all organisms and their genetic characteristics. Utilization and conserva­ tion of these resources have the capacity to improve human life and to enhance the world we live in. It is therefore imperative that the practical and potential value of these organisms is conserved and used wisely. The first step towards this goal is to document our diversity and to study it in detail. Biological resources increase the competitiveness of a nation through their use as fundamental resources for making highly valu­ ed products, such as new lines of medicines, new materials, and new drugs. Since the Nagoya Protocol was adopted in 2010 and entered into force during the 12th Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Bio­ logical Diversity (CBD) in 2014, it has been expected that competition for biological resources will become more intensive under the rapidly changing circumstance on access to and sharing of genetic resources (ABS). To cope with a new international paradigm on issues related to biological resources, the Ministry of the Environment of Korea enacted a law entitled ‘An act on access and benefit sharing of genetic resources’ on August 17, 2017. Each nation in the world is investigating and clearing information of native species within its territory in order to secure its sovereignty rights over biological resources. The National Institute of Biological Reso­ urces (NIBR) of the Ministry of Environment has published the ‘Flora and Fauna of Korea’ since 2009 to manage biological resources in comprehensive ways and to enhance national competitiveness by building up the foundation for the sovereignty over biological resources. Professional research groups, consisting of professors and other taxonomic experts, have systematically examined 15,154 species of vascular plants, animals and other organisms over the past 10 years and have published their findings in 184 volumes in Korean and 189 volumes in English, and two volumes of worldwide monographs covering 216 species of invertebrates. This year, 14 volumes of the Flora and Fauna of Korea in both Korean and English versions including 391 species of invertebrates and insects are additionally published. Flora and Fauna of Korea are the first professional records to describe all the species of the nation in a comprehensive way, and they would contribute to level up the taxonomic capacity. The NIBR will continue to publish flora and fauna of Korea that will contribute conservation and appli­ cation of biological resources for successful implementation of the ABS protocol. Finally, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to authors who spared no effort to publish the Flora and Fauna of Korea.

Findings are compared to historical studies, 52 focusing on extensive surveys from the 1960s and 1970s. Molluscan species of public health 53 significance are identified based on their potential as vectors of algal toxins in light of the recent 54 occurrence of harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the region. Habitats sampled included intertidal 55 sand or gravel beaches, rocks and jetties, sheltered soft-sediment flats and mangroves, and shallow 56 subtidal coral reefs.

If urbanisation is accompanied by a concomitant increase in shipping then this may also be a factor, i.e. increased propagule pressure of non-native species due to translocation beyond their native range via the hulls of ships and/or in ballast water. Singapore is potentially highly vulnerable to invasion by non-native marine species as its coastline comprises over 60% seawall and it is one of the world’s busiest ports. The aim of this study is to investigate the native, non-native, and cryptogenic molluscs found on Singapore’s seawalls.

According to the observation of aquatic animal which has been caught by main BSC fishing gears; floating seine and collapsible crab trap, there were 176 kind of aquatic animals. The catch aquatic animals are shown in the table1. In this study, aquatic animal was classified into 11 Groups; Blue Swimming Crab (Portunus Pelagicus), Coelenterata (coral animals, true jellies, sea anemones, sea pens), Helcionelloida (clam, bivalve, gastropod), Cephalopoda (sqiud, octopus), Chelicerata (horseshoe crab), Hoplocari(stomatopods), Decapod (shrimp), Anomura (hermit crab), Brachyura (crab), Echinoderm (sea cucambers, sea stars, sea urchins), Vertebrata (fish). Vertebrata was the main group that was captured by BSC fishing gears, more than 70 species. Next are Helcionelloida and Helcionelloida 38 species and 29 species respectively. The sample that has been classified were photographed and attached in appendix 1. However, some species were classified as unknow which are under the classification process and reconcile. There were 89 species that were captured by floating seine. The 3 main group that were captured by this fishing gear are Vertebrata (34 species), Brachyura (20 species) Helcionelloida and Echinoderm (10 Species). On the other hand, there were 129 species that were captured by collapsible crab trap.

    ^^ FIELDIANA • ZOOLOGY 3 Published by CHICAGO NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM Volume 39 October 17, 1958 No. 20 MARINE MOLLUSKS FROM BOUGAINVILLE AND FLORIDA, SOLOMON ISLANDS Alan Solem Assistant Curator, Division of Lower Invertebrates My checklist of the Solomon Island marine and fresh-water mol- lusks (Solem, 1953) was based on a large collection donated to Chicago Natural History Museum by Captain J. M. Ross and sup- plemented by a series of records in the literature. Two small collec- tions of marine shells given to the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology add to our knowledge of the fauna, and the additional data are reported below. I did not communicate with Dr. C. E. Fox, who presented the shells to Captain Ross, until after the checklist had been published. Dr. Fox then informed me that all the shells he gave to Captain Ross were found near Guadalcanal and Malaita Islands. The local- ity "Solomon Islands" cited by me (Solem, 1953) for the Fox col- lection should be restricted to "Guadalcanal and Malaita." Since September, 1952, when my manuscript (Solem, 1953) was submitted, the checklist of Kuroda and Habe (1952), the semi-pop- ular book of Kira (1955), and the ecological study of Demond (1957) have brought to my attention a number of nomenclatural changes affecting the names used by me (Solem, 1953) . These changes in no way alter the taxonomic position of the genera and species—only the names applied to the units. Both below, and in a report on the New Hebridean marine fauna (Solem, in press), a number of nomen- clatural changes are recorded.

Similarities in shell morphology revealed by phenetic studies are interpreted as being due to convergence, and are indicative of similar habitats rather than of close phylogenetic relationships. Convergences are also noted in radular and stomach characters. Cladistic analyses of anatomical data support the following conclusions: 1 ) Thaididae are a primitive and ancient family of muricaceans forming a clade equal in taxonomic rank with Muncidae; 2) Within Muricidae, P. pazi more closely resembles the ancestral muricid phenotype than any trophonine; 3) Trophoninae comprise a comparatively recent monophyletic group with differences due to a subsequent austral adaptive radiation. The Muricidae are considered to be the most primitive and D'Attilio, 1976:13) a personal communication from E. H. family within Neogastropoda according to most (Thiele, Vokes "it appears likely that the most northern trophons are 1929; Wenz, 1941; Taylor and Sohl, 1962; Boss, 1982) but derived from the Paziella-Poiheha line, and that the several not all (Golikov and Starobogatov, 1975) recent classifica- austral forms that are unquestionably "trophonine" are prob- tions. Of the five subfamilies of Muricidae, the Trophoninae, ably derived from the Thaididae". proposed by Cossmann (1903) on the basis of shell and Thus, according to most published work, the Tropho- opercular characters to include a number of boreal and ninae are in a position to shed light on the systematics and austral species, are the most poorly understood.

    Coralliophiline Diversity at Mid-Atlantic Seamounts (Neogastropoda, Muricidae, Coralliophilinae)

    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 79(1): 205–230, 2006 NEW TAXA PAPER CORALLIOPHILINE DIVERSITY AT MID ATLANTIC SEAMOUNTS NEOGASTROPODA, MURICIDAE, CORALLIOPHILINAE Marco Oliverio and Serge Gofas ABSTRACT Eleven species of the Coralliophilinae were identified on seamounts of the NE Atlantic and in the Azores. The species-level taxonomy is reviewed with empha- sis on the protoconch species-specific characters. The Meteor group of seamounts yielded six species (plus two unidentified), with 3–6 species found sympatrically. Babelomurex atlantidis is described as new, Coralliophila aedonia (Watson, 1886), Babelomurex sentix (Bayer, 1971) and B. dalli (Emerson and D’Attilio, 1963) are re- ported for the first time in the mid-North Atlantic. Species which were found either abundant (C. aedonia, B. sentix, B. atlantidis) or reproducing (B. dalli) are assumed to form established populations on the mid-Atlantic seamounts. In the Lusitanian group of seamounts only Gorringe yielded more than one species; all species are shared either with the European mainland or with the Canary Islands, and there is no evidence for established populations. The coralliophiline species found on the seamounts showed evidence of planktotrophic larval development; at least two are amphiatlantic, which illustrates the role of the seamounts as stepping stones in transoceanic dispersal. Some species are not known outside the seamounts, but this may be explained by the increased availability of bathyal hard bottoms rather than by limitations to dispersal. The Coralliophilinae include ca. 200 species of coral eating gastropods, distributed worldwide in tropical and temperate seas. Their placement within the family Muri- cidae, close to Rapaninae s.l. is strongly supported by molecular data (Oliverio and Mariottini, 2001a; Oliverio, Cervelli and Mariottini, 2002).
