    Extractions: Phylum Mollusca Coelomate Animals Molluscs are coelomate animals, that is, they possess a body cavity between the gut and the body wall that is completely lined by mesoderm tissue. The coelom serves several important functions, such as providing space for the development and function of complex internal organs and providing a hydrostatic skeleton to facilitate the movements of soft-bodied animals. All of the rest of the phyla we will study this quarter are also coelomate. Recall that coelomates are subdivided into two groups: molluscs, annelids, and arthropods are protostome coelomates . The protostomes are distinguished by the fact that the mouth of these organisms is formed from the first opening in the embryonic gut. You may remember this first opening is called the blastopore and is formed during the gastrula stage of development. In contrast, the echinoderms and chordates are deuterostome coelomates . In deuterostomes the blastopore forms the anus, and the mouth is formed from a second embryonic opening. Keep in mind that grouping animals by these and other developmental similarities gives a clearer picture of the evolutionary relationships of organisms that externally may appear very dissimilar. (Review Buschbaum Chap. 24 for this discussion.)

    Extractions: MOLLUSCA, one of the great " phyla," or sub-kingdoms, of the animal pedigree or kingdom. The shell -bearing forms belonging to this group which were known to Linnaeus were placed by him (in 1748) in the third order of his class Vermes under the name " Testacea," whilst the Echinoderms, Hydroids and Annelids, with the naked Mollusca, formed his second order termed " Zoophyta." Ten years later he replaced the name " Zoophyta " by " Mollusca," which was thus in the first instance applied, not to the Mollusca at present so termed, but to a group consisting chiefly of other organisms. Gradually, however, the term Mollusca became used to include those Mollusca formerly placed among the " Testacea," as well as the naked Mollusca.

Mollusks occupy habitats ranging from the deep ocean to shallow waters to moist terrestrial niches.

Chitons The Conscientious Marine Aquarist Mollusks: An Overview by Bob Fenner A Cyphoma gibbosum feeding on a fan The myriad mix of animals we call mollusks; clams really big and small, Chitons, octopus, snails, abalone, oysters, nudibranchs, sea hares, nautilus, squid, tusk shells and many more, are finally starting to get their due with marine aquarists. With improvements in water quality, foods, and collecting, transportation and handling technology what were once sure losers are being kept for months to years. I am amazed at the parallel worlds of aquarium and "shell-collecting" interests. In late 1994, I was privileged to present my views to the Southern California Marine Aquarium Conference on issues of the ethics, and government control of marine livestock trade practices. One weekend later, I gave almost the identical talk to the annual meeting of the Conchologists of America, Inc. (a national organization of shell collectors). Our concerns are the same; no one wants to see the natural resource/environment negatively impacted by their participation; neither group sees the real use of government intervention. You may have a total disinterest in mollusks up to this point, but should be aware of them as a group. If for no other reasoning than they may "show up" in your system as "extras" on live rock, macro-algae, other invertebrates or foods. Many are predatory on other invertebrates; anemones, sea urchins, other mollusks, and even fishes. A few can be fatally dangerous to the aquarist.

Many mollusks feed by using a sharp razor tongue like organ called radula to scrape up food. The three major classes of mollusks are; Class Gastropoda (include snails and slugs). Class Bivlavia (includes clams, mussels, and oysters), and Class Cephalopoda (include squids, octopi, and nautili). Click on each class and learn more about them. mailto:sotsuka@nvcc.edu

    Extractions: Last Updated: October 11, 2007 Molluscs are soft-bodied invertebrates whose main features are a foot for locomotion, a mantle which secretes a hard calcium shell, a general head region, and a stomach area for digestion. Molluscs are very diverse with about 110,000 species distributed in terrestrial, freshwater and marine environments. The Gastropoda (snails) include the largest number of species comprising over three quarters of species in this phylum. The Bivalva (clams/oysters/mussels) is less diverse but also a very important group. (Source: Biodiversity Institute of Ontario Bivalves are the clams and mussels of our freshwater lakes . The word Bivalva (Bi= "two", valva="shells") is a misnomer. Actually, there is only a single shell secreted with a left and right lobe. Many people tend to think that one half of a clam shell is the top and the other is the bottom. Actually, these animals are laterally flattened – there is a shell on the lefthand side and the right hand side. The mouth (incurrent canal) and anus (outcurrent canal) are located at the anterior end, and while the foot extends out the posterior.

    Extractions: This phylum is one of the largest marine groups with over 80 000 species. All comprise of a soft, unsegmented body, consisting of an anterior head, a dorsal visceral mass and a ventral foot.The body is more or less surrounded by a fleshy mantle (an outgrowth of the body wall) and nearly all species in the group secrete a lime shell that covers and protects the body. All, except the class Bivalvia , have a ribbon-like rasping tongue (radula - unique to this phylum) with small chitinous teeth that processes the food. Most mollusks are free living, but slow moving creatures, showing a close association with the substrate. Some attach to rocks or shells, others burrow, others float, octopuses and squids swim freely.

Certain mollusks, such as clams, squids, and scallops, constitute important food staples, and molluskan shells are highly valued by collectors. In times past these shells were used as money and today are used ornamentally for such items as buttons and jewelry. There are six classes of mollusks. Anatomical Features Although highly diverse, all members of the phylum share certain general features. Most have a well-developed head, which may bear sensory tentacles; in some, like the clam, the head is very reduced. The Body Wall All mollusks possess a flexible body wall, which surrounds a body cavity containing the internal organs. The wall, which varies greatly in shape in different species, is usually folded to form a structure called the mantle, which is attached at the top of the body and surrounds it like a tent; the shell is formed on the outside of the mantle. On the underside of the body the wall is usually stretched out to form a thickened mass called the foot. The wall is covered by an outer epidermis and an underlying dermis. The epidermis usually contains gland cells that secrete mucus, which in mollusks has a variety of important uses, such as locomotion, food entrapment, and prevention of water loss. Muscle tissue is found in the body wall, and is particularly plentiful in the foot, which is used for locomotion in most mollusks (although some swim and some are sedentary), and in the mantle in species with reduced shells.
