The Kalayaan Island Group (KIG) in the West
Philippine Sea is a threatened rich fishing ground
endowed with diverse flora and fauna. However,
studies about gastropods and bivalves in KIG are
lacking. This preliminary listing of shelled gastropods
and bivalves of KIG is based on collections in 2014 and
2016. Seventy eight species of shelled gastropo...

... study was conducted in KIG which lies about 480 km

(300 mi) west of Palawan ( Figure 1 ). Sampling was
conducted on April 28 - May 5, 2014 andMay 1 -8, 2016. In
2014, the specimens were obtained by reef walking or
gleaning at intertidal areas for about one hour during day
low tide in the following islands: Pag-asa Island (Thitu Is),
Likas Island (West York Island), Parola Island (northeast
cay), Kota Island (Loita Is), Panata Island, (Lankiam) Lawak
Island (Nanshan Is), Patag Island (Flat Is). In 2016,
sampling was only conducted at the intertidal area of Pag-
asa Island. Some empty shells found on the beach were
also collected. The samples are deposited at Western Phil-
ippines University (WPU) Museum. Species were photo
documented and identified based on shell morphology using
the works of Springsteen and Leobrera (1986), Abott
andDance (2000), andLaureta (2008 Figure 5) were ...

which 80 taxa are of bivalves and 28 taxa belong to
gastropods. Some of these taxa are biostratigraphical
