“…From a taxonomic point of view, the number of mollusk species in this study (22 species) can be considered low, especially when compared to other studies of Brazilian phytal malacofaunas (e.g., Leite et al, —50 spp. ; Zamprogno, Costa Barbiero, Ferreira & Souza, —53 spp. ; Duarte, Mota, & Dias, —36 spp.…”

Community structure and functional traits of mollusks associated with coastal reef macroalgae in Northeastern Brazil

et al. 2019

This study investigated the community structure and functional traits of the mollusk fauna associated with macroalgae with different thallus morphologies in a reef environment in Northeastern Brazil. A total of 15 individuals of each species of macroalgae adhered to natural substrate and 15 individuals of Padina gymnospora detached from the substrate were collected. The structural complexity of algal habitats was measured and the associated malacofauna screened and identified. All three macroalgae differed significantly in the complexity of their habitat, with Sargassum polyceratium being the most complex. A total of 823 specimens of mollusks belonging to 22 species and 11 families were recorded, of which Columbellidae was the most represented with six species. The functional trait "size" revealed that micromollusks smaller than 10 millimeters were predominant in the community; however, individuals of larger sizes (up to 24.54 millimeters) belonging to young stages of other species were also present. Eight functional trophic groups were identified, of which "carnivorous" stood out with seven species. Six functional groups of microhabitats were identified, with intra-specific variation in habitats, while habitat expansion was documented for species not yet recorded in association with macroalgae. The structure of the molluskan community differed among the three algae species with the greatest richness, abundance, and diversity of mollusks and functional traits occurring with S. polyceratium. Community structure differed between algae adhered to natural substrate and detached algae, with the latter having lower mollusk richness and diversity, but with greater abundance of some species that remained on algal fronds after release from the reef environment. This study reinforces the importance of algal habitat for marine invertebrate fauna, especially for micromollusks that spend their entire life cycle, or part of it, in association with macroalgae.

“…Selain substrat, distribusi gastropoda dipengaruhi pula oleh kondisi lingkungan habitatnya baik fisik, kimia maupun kombinasi keduanya. Hal ini didukung oleh hasil-hasil penelitian lainnya mengenai gastropoda dan habitatnya yang telah dilakukan di beberapa perairan misalnya di Teluk Jakarta (Mudjiono et al, 1994); pesisir utara Brazil (Beasley et al, 2005); Teluk Tehuantepec, Meksiko (Rios-Jara et al, 2009); Pantai Sluke, Rembang (Riniatsih dan Kushartono, 2009); utara Laut Merah (Zuschin et al, 2009); pesisir Aceh Besar (Dewiyanti dan Karina, 2012); zona littoral di tenggara Brazil (Zamprogno et al, 2013) dan penelitian lainnya.…”

Most of the molluscs studies in Malaysia have focused only on their diversity and the knowledge on their relationship with the water depth are lacking. The hypothesis tested in this research was water depth influence the density of marine gastropods and bivalves of Malaysia Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) in Sarawak waters. The aim of the study was to determine the gastropod and bivalve species in Malaysia EEZ of Sarawak waters and the relationship of the species density with water depth. The sampling was conducted from 15th August 2015 until 9th October 2015. The gastropods and bivalves were collected from 32 stations of various depths using the Smith-McIntyre grab. The depth of the stations was from 20 m to 200 m. A total of 95 taxa (61 Gastropoda and 34 Bivalvia) were found in this study. The dominant molluscs species of Sarawak waters in Malaysia EEZ were Limopsis sp., Turitella cingulifera, Pitar citrinus, and Cavolinia globulosa. Species density was about 10 ind./m2 to 610 ind./m2 and the total density was between 250 ind./m2 (Station 22) and 1,940 ind./m2 (Station 2). The total density of gastropods and bivalves showed weak correlation and negative relationship with the depth of water. The findings of this study will aid future studies in Malaysia EEZ.
