“…They form populations isolated from their main ranges that have been preserved since the Late Holocene cooling (Lutaenko 1991). The penetration of warm-water organisms from one well-warmed area to another may have occurred in periods of climate warming and heating of surface water in intermediate, cold regions of the sea (Scarlato 1981, Lutaenko 1993, 1999. Thus, the Amur estuary is the northernmost region of the northwestern Pacific where, due the intensive warming-up of shallowwater in summer and the input of warm Amur River water from the south of the continent, there are favourable conditions for the existence of warmwater marine and brackish-water species.…”

The understanding of the processes regulating the species richness and diversity in estuarine ecosystems is a fundamental problem of ecology. The Amur River estuary is characterised by high summer water temperatures (up to 20−21°C) anomalous for the cold-water northwestern Pacific region. We hypothesized that the warm-water Amur estuary greatly influences the species richness of this cold-water region, contributing to the far northward spread of warm-water macrobenthic species. We investigated the fauna and distribution of bivalves in relation to environmental variables in the Amur estuary (Sakhalin Gulf, Amurskiy Liman, and northern Tatar Strait) on the basis of samples collected during 6 expeditions between 2003 and 2007. Most of the bivalve species found in the estuary (30 of 41) are marine species, which were recorded only in Sakhalin Gulf (Sea of Okhotsk) and the Tatar Strait (Sea of Japan). In the greater part of Amurskiy Liman, we found only brackish-water species Corbicula japonica, Corbula amurensis, and Macoma balthica, which were most abundant (mean ± SE: 74.6 ± 3.4% of the total biomass per station) among the macrobenthos. Qualitative (presence/absence of species) and quantitative (fourth-root transformed biomass) cluster and multidimensional scaling analyses revealed 6 distinct areas in the estuary. Depth, temperature, and salinity of the bottom water and sediment characteristics (clay content) exert the greatest effect on the distribution of bivalves in the estuary. The environmental conditions in the warm-water Amur estuary are favourable for the reproduction and existence of the warm-water species C. japonica, C. amurensis, Venerupis philippinarum, Crassostrea gigas, Raeta pulchella, Protothaca euglypta, and Callithaca adamsi, of which C. japonica and C. amu rensis determine the bottom community structure and abundance in the oligohaline and meso haline zones of the estuary. The Amur estuary is the northern distribution limit of natural populations of these species and serves the role of a refugium for many warmwater species of the northwestern Pacific.

The bivalve molluscan fauna of Ulsan Bay, East Sea coast of Korea, is summarized, based on original and literature data. The fauna consists of 61 species belonging to 20 families. Seven species are identified only to genus level. Two species (Carditellopsis toneana , Carditidae and Fulvia hungerfordi (G.B. Sowerby III, 1901), Cardiidae) are new records for the East Sea coast of Korea, and one species (Crenella decussata (Montagu, 1808), Mytilidae) is a new record for Korea. Biogeographically, Ulsan Bay's bivalve fauna is subtropical with a predominance of tropical-subtropical species, 21 species, or 39% of the total species number, subtropical, 14 species, or 26%, and subtropical-boreal (mostly subtropical-lowboreal), 11 species, 21%, totalling 86%. A remarkable feature of the Ulsan Bay fauna is the presence of tropical-subtropical species not found in Yeongil Bay but common in tidal flats and shallow waters of the Yellow Sea and the southern part of Korea. A cold water mass appearing off the southeast coast of Korea near Ulsan in summer seems responsible for the presence of boreal-arctic species in this area.

“…Global events, such as the climatic optimum, caused paleoenvironmental and geomorphologic changes in littoral zones that led to changes in assemblages of mollusks (Lutaenko, 1993;Camus, 2001). For instance, for the Argentinian coastlines, Aguirre et al (2005Aguirre et al ( , 2006 described the shift of warm water mollusks to higher latitudes on Bonaerensian coasts (south Atlantic) during the climatic optimum linked with a rise in the oceanic temperature and salinity.…”

ABSTRACT. This study analyzes the Holocene molluscan assemblage in raised marine terraces along the coasts of the Strait of Magellan and the Beagle Channel. A total of 33 gastropods and 12 bivalves were identifi ed. They constitute the fi rst mollusk listing for deposits in the Strait of Magellan. Taphonomic analysis suggests a high energy environment with epifaunal elements in the Strait of Magellan and a low energy environment with the predominance of infaunal elements in the Beagle Channel. All the collected species are living taxa suggesting that postglacial climatic variations were not enough to alter the composition of the communities since at least 6,000 yr BP in the southern Chile-Argentina region.
