The Marine Molluscs of Tasmania (http://www.molluscsoftasmania.net/) contains over 6000 pages of information on all the marine mollusc species that are currently recognised as occurring in Tasmanian waters by the author of these pages, Simon Grove. This project grew out of the 2006 publication of A systematic list of the marine molluscs of Tasmania, by Simon Grove, Ron Kershaw, Brian Smith and Elizabeth Turner. Because molluscan taxonomy is in a continual state of flux, and because our understanding of what species occur in Tasmania is advancing all the time, a paper publication on this subject rapidly becomes outdated as new species are discovered, new names and taxonomic relationships are introduced and old ones invalidated. The web-pages are designed to avoid the fate of a paper publication by being amenable to regular updating. Nevertheless, the recommended book to complement this web-site is The seashells of Tasmania: a comprehensive guide. You can download a flyer (http://www.molluscsoftasmania.net/Publications pages/Grove2011.pdf) with details of where to purchase the book, including online.

Nearly all records from this provider are from beached material ('death assemblages'), and do not necessarily indicate the presence of live animals at the recorded locality.Sampling Description
