Title

Exploring coastal bivalves and gastropods: a checklist from Onjal Machhiwad coast, south Gujarat, India

Abstract

The study conducted on the Onjal Machhiwad coast, Navsari, Gujarat, aimed to assess the intertidal bivalve and gastropod assemblages over a period of twelve months from January 2023 to February 2024. The sampling site, formed by black sand featured an intertidal zone extending approximately 1.5-2 km during ebb tide. Specimens of gastropods and bivalves were randomly collected from the intertidal zone and supralittoral zone, total 15 species identified, with nine belonging to Bivalvia and six to Gastropoda. The highest number of species was found in Neogastropoda (Class Gastropoda) and Arcida (Class Bivalvia). The identified specimens were preserved and deposited in the aquatic biodiversity museum at the College of Fisheries Science, Navsari. This is the first work done exploring the diversity of Bivalves and Gastropods.
