Description

This is the checklist of marine mollusc species (Bivalvia and Gastropoda) species that we collected from the littoral zone of Cham Islands in May 2017.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

The sampling sites were located in the littoral zone of Cham Islands, including three sites (Bai Huong, Bai Ong, Bai Bac) at the large island (Hon Lao) and three sites at three other small islands (Hon Tai, Hon La, Hon Dai).

Sampling

Marine molluscs (snails and bivalves) were collected by hand or scoop at the low tide in the different benthic habitats, including the sandy beaches, rocky shores and coral reefs by scuba divers. The sediments were sieved through a 1-mm mesh; the sieve residue was fixed in 95% Ethanol. In the laboratory, the samples were sorted and identified, where possible, to the species level based on taxonomic documents (Abbott and Dance 1986, Carpenter and Niem 1998, Okutani and (Ed.) 2017, Thach 2005, Thach 2007, Thach 2012, Thach 2016).

Quality Control

The scientific names in this paper are based on the identification by experienced experts in the field of the taxonomy of marine molluscs, namely, Dr. Takenori Sasaki from the University Museum, the University of Tokyo and Dr. Do Van Tu from Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources. All taxon names were checked against the Taxon Match tool in the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) in order to standardize and correct them, if necessary (http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=match).
