TL;DR: A systematic study on distribution of some marine conchs collected from three coastal regions of Myanmar water was carried out as discussed by the authors, where a total of individuals were collected from the study areas during low tide and were transferred to the laboratory for species identification labeled specimens were stored and images were taken and recorded.
Abstract: A systematic study on distribution of some marine conchs collected from three coastal regions of Myanmar water was carried out A total of individuals were collected from the study areas during low tide and were transferred to the laboratory for species identification labeled specimens were stored and images were taken and recorded Some marine conch shells on intertidal and subtidal areas in Myanmar coastal water are composed of species belonging to genus Strombus Linnaeus of family Strombidae Rafinesque under the order Mesogastropoda Thiele collected from field observations during Species identification had been conducted with emphasis on liquid preserved materials and living specimens in the field based on the external shell sculptures such as shape of body whorl texture colour aperture shape style of siphonal canal and columella umbilicus formation and operculum type of conchological features The collected specimens comprised S aurisdiane Linnaeus S bulla R ouml ding S campbelli Griffith amp Pidgeon S canarium Linnaeus S dentatus Linnaeus S erythrinum Dillwyn S gibberulus Linnaeus S isabella Lamarck S japonicus Reeve S labiatus R ouml ding S lentiginosus Linnaeus S luhuanus Linnaeus S marginatus Linnaeus S microurceum Kira S mutabilis Swainson S pulchellus Reeve S sinuatus Humphrey S thersites R ouml ding S urceus Linnaeus and S variabilis Swainson In this study provide the habitats utilization and fishery of these species in brief Moreover the local species community similarity and zonal distribution of marine conchs were also presented nbsp

TL;DR: Examining the extant members of the genus Gibberulus after half a century of neglect suggests that, as further revisions of the Strombidae are conducted, particularly of those species with large fragmented distributions, a greater diversity of species will be found and described.
Abstract: The gastropod family Strombidae has sparked the recent interest of taxonomists as early revisions of the family are re-examined, with a plethora of new species and genera being described. This has brought a greater understanding of the level of diversity within the family, which has assisted in conceptualizing its evolutionary intergeneric relationships. However, gaps in the revisions remain. This paper examines the extant members of the genus Gibberulus after half a century of neglect. After examination of type material and original descriptions, the species are recircumscribed, and a new species, G. dekkersi, new species, is presented, bringing the total number of species in the genus to four. In addition, information of the geographic range of each species is provided. We suggest that, as further revisions of the Strombidae are conducted, particularly of those species with large fragmented distributions, a greater diversity of species will be found and described.
