| Abstract | Diversity and morphometry of edible, bivalve and gastropod classes of molluscs were investigated from July 2010 toJanuary 2012, for a particular set of bivalve species, at selected coastal divisions of Sarawak including Kuching, Sibu, Mukah,Bintulu, Miri, Limbang, and Lawas. A total of 41 edible species were recorded and identified from 11 families of gastropodsrepresented by 21 species, and from 12 families of bivalves represented by 20 species. For bivalves, species of the familyCyrenidae (Geloina erosa, G. expansa and G. bengalensis) were the most widely distributed bivalve species. The gastropodfamily Potamididae (Cerithidea obtusa, C. quadrata, C. rizophorarum and Telescopium telescopium) was also commonlyobserved over the entire seven divisions. Species diversity was found to be highest in Bintulu division for both classes, having 13species of gastropods and 11 species of bivalves. Jaccardโs index showed high similarity amongst the edible bivalves forLimbang division with Miri division (0.75), and for Limbang with Lawas (0.75). For gastropods, Sibu versus Mukah showedhigh similarity (0.50). Morphometric study of the bivalves indicated that VPM/SL and LCT/SL features were applicable as anidentification key to differentiate between Geloina spp. This morphometric identification key could be developed further foridentification of other species in the mollusc family. |
