Description

III Workshop Internacional de Malacologia e de Biologia Marinha, 17-28 de Julho, Vila Franca do Campo, São Miguel, Açores. 3rd International Workshop of Malacology and Marine Biology, 17-28 July, Vila Franca do Campo, São Miguel, Açores. A list of the molluscan species dredged during the 3rd International Workshop of Malacology and Marine Biology is presented. Positive identification has not been possible for a number of taxa. However, almost all species are illustrated so as to provide a practical guide to the species which may occur as beach drift and others which naturally range up into the intertidal. The distribution of the species at the various collecting stations is also presented as a table organized by depth, and identifying where specimens were collected alive or, in the case of bivalves, with both valves attached.
