TL;DR: The total number of animals, biomass as well as the domanance of T. terebra in the community decreased, while species diversity increased along a gradient of increasing salinity and decreasing siltclay fraction of the sediment.
Abstract: A one year study was carried out to investigate the variations in benthic community structure along an environmental gradient of salinity and bottom substratum in a sub-tropical estuary in Hong Kong. The community was dominated by the gastropod Turritella terebra, and to a lesser extent, by the gastropod Murex trapa and the crab Portunus hastatoides. The total number of animals, biomass as well as the domanance of T. terebra in the community decreased, while species diversity increased along a gradient of increasing salinity and decreasing siltclay fraction of the sediment.

TL;DR: Results of δ13C and δ15N values and isotopic mixing model revealed N. siquijorensis and M. trapa were one trophic level higher than T. bacillum, which exhibited faster summer growth than the other two species, and the δ18O profile from shell carbonate suggested these gastropods were one to two years old.

TL;DR: This study provided the first complete mitogenome of Murex and will provide useful genetic information for future phylogenetic and taxonomic classification of Muricidae.
Abstract: The rare-spined murex (Murex trapa) is an ecologically and economically important species of Muricidae, which comprises a highly diverse group of predatory marine snails. However, the taxonomic classification and phylogenetic studies have so far been limited. In this study, we report the first complete mitochondrial genome of Murex from M. trapa. The mitogenome has 15,408 bp (66.3% A + T content) and made up of total of 37 genes (13 protein-coding, 22 transfer RNAs, and 2 ribosomal RNAs), and a control region. This study provided the first complete mitogenome of Murex and will provide useful genetic information for future phylogenetic and taxonomic classification of Muricidae.

TL;DR: Among the gastropod a fauna, Bursa crumena followed 15 species was not dominant and five species like Chicoreus ramousus, Murex trapa, Natica tigrina, Olive gibbosa and Tonna dolium was dominant and 11 species were not dominant.
Abstract: Molluscan fanua of gastropoda and bivalvia were collected from different stations of coastal area in Thanjavur District, Tamil Nadu, India. In the present investigation, 20 species of gastropods fauna and 20 species of bivalvia fauna were recorded September 2011 to December 2011. Among the gastropod a fauna, Bursa crumena followed 15 species was not dominant and five species like Chicoreus ramousus, Murex trapa, Natica tigrina, Olive gibbosa and Tonna dolium was dominant and 11 species was not dominant. The gastropoda fauna maximum density was recorded in station – III and the bivalvia fauna maximum density was recorded in station – II.

TL;DR: Information on differences of metal distributions in the different tissues is provided, which could be useful in proposing potential tissues as better biomonitoring tools of heavy metal bioavailabilities in the coastal waters of Peninsular Malaysia.
Abstract: The present study aims to determine the concentrations of Cd, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, and Zn in the different tissues of five species of tropical intertidal gastropods from Malaysia. Each of the species have organs/tissues that highly accumulated certain metals. For Cu, the mantles of Cerithidea obtusa, Pugilina cochlidium, and Murex trapa; and the digestive caeca of Thais sp. and Chicoreus capucinus highly accumulated Cu. The shells of Chi. capucinus and M. trapa, the digestive caeca of P. cochlidium, and the digestive glands of Thais sp. and Chi. capucinus highly accumulated Cd. The tentacles and the digestive caeca of Cer. obtusa and P. cochlidium, respectively, highly accumulated Zn, the digestive glands of Thais sp., Chi. capucinus, and M. trapa also highly accumulated Zn. The shells of most of the gastropods accumulated high levels of Pb and Ni. The opercula of most of the gastropods, besides the digestive glands for Thais sp., accumulated high levels of Fe. The present study on interspecific variations of ...
