Abstract

Background

Cham Islands (Cu Lao Cham) is a group of 8 small islands in the Quang Nam province, Central Vietnam. There is only one study that mentioned the diversity of marine molluscs in this area. However, the data on species composition have not been digitised and not stored or shared for other purposes. Our paper aims to share the checklist of marine mollusc species (Bivalvia and Gastropoda) species that we collected from the littoral zone of Cham Islands in May 2017. This is the first digitised and online data of marine molluscs in Vietnam. It is very important for researchers in various fields such as the structure and function of ecology and biodiversity monitoring.

New information

This study provides a checklist of the marine bivalves and snails in the Cham Islands of Vietnam. Moreover, this first widely shared data of biodiversity in Vietnam can trigger biodiversity data papers in this data-poor country.

The data of this study will be important inputs for better understanding biodiversity on the Cham Islands and Vietnam as well as for forming the basis for monitoring, exploitation and conservation of biodiversity in this area.

In total, 145 taxa were recorded, 46 bivalve taxa and 99 snail taxa, from which 128 were identified to the species level and 17 were identified to the genus level. There are 116 new species records for the Cham Islands.

The specimens are currently deposited in the Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources (IEBR), Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST).

Introduction

Cham Islands forms a part of Cu Lao Cham Marine Protected Area and has been recognised by UNESCO as a World Biosphere Reserve (Cu Lao Cham Marine Park) in 2009. There is only one study on macrobenthic fauna on the coral reefs that also mentioned marine molluscs in the Cu Lao Cham Sea (Tuyen 2013). However, its data on the species checklist was not digitised or stored in any database. Therefore, it was not widely used by other scientists. Our aim here is to show the list of snails (Gastropod) and bivalves (Bivalvia) that we found during our survey in May 2017 from Cham Islands. This checklist is the first formal biodiversity data of this group of islands of Vietnam.

General description

Purpose: 

This study aims:

1. to provide the list of snail and bivalve species distributed in Cham Islands;

2. to store and register the specimens for future studies.

The survey was conducted in May 2017 in the littoral zones of Cham Islands to the depths between 5 and 10 metres.

Additional information: 

This is a database of the scientific names and the coordinates of collected specimens.

Project description

Title: 

Sample checklist of Gastropoda and Bivalvia in Cham Islands, Vietnam

Personnel: 

The researchers involved in this project were Dr. Do Van Tu (sample collection, taxonomic identification, data management), Dr. Le Hung Anh (sample collection) and Dr. Tran Anh Tuan (map drawing) from the Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources and Dr. Luu The Anh (sample collection) from theInstitute of Geography. Both institutes are under the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology. Moreover, Dr. Takenori Sasaki from the University Museum, The University of Tokyo, helped to verify the identification of all species.

Study area description: 

Cham Archipelago consists of one large island surrounded by seven small islands covering a sea area of 15 square kilometres and it is located in Central Vietnam, 16 kilometres from the coast and 19 kilometres to the east of the ancient Hoi An town, Quang Nam province (source: https://en.wikipedia.org). The names of islands are the Hon Lao (Pearl), Hon Dai (Long), Hon Mo (Tomb), Hon Kho me (Big Dry), Hon Kho con (Small Dry), Hon La (Leaf), Hon Tai (Ear) and Hon Ong (East Wind). The coral reefs and seagrass beds are widely distributed in the shallow waters of Cu Lao Cham. The researchers have recorded 261 species of Scleractinian coral, 15 species of soft coral, 3 species of fire coral (Milleporidae), 1 species of blue coral (Helioporidae) and 2 species of horny coral (Antipatharia) in this area (Ngoc 2018).

We only surveyed around the large island (Hon Lao) and three other small islands (Hon Tai, Hon La, Hon Dai) (Fig. 1). The sampling sites were sandy beaches, rocky shores and coral reefs. The collection of specimens was approved by Management Board of Cu Lao Cham Marine Protected Area.

Design description: 

This project is designed to obtain as many marine mollusc species as possible in the littoral zone of the Cham Islands.

Funding: 

The project was funded by a grant from the Ministry of Science and Technology of Vietnam, Project code is ĐTĐL.XH-02/16.

Sampling methods

Description: 

The sampling sites were located in the littoral zone of Cham Islands (Fig. 1), including three sites (Bai Huong (Fig. 4), Bai Ong (Fig. 5), Bai Bac (Fig. 6)) at the large island (Hon Lao) and three sites at three other small islands (Hon Tai (Figs 7, 8), Hon La (Fig. 9), Hon Dai (Fig. 10).

Sampling description: 

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 standardise and correct them, if necessary (http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=match).

Taxonomic coverage

Description: 

We recorded 145 taxa of bivalves and snails (Table 1, Suppl. material 1). Of these, 116 species have been recorded for the first time in the Cu Lao Cham Island. Gastropoda is dominant with 35 families and 99 species while bivalves were represented by 20 families and 46 species. At the order level, the following were classified into Bivalvia: Arcida (4 species), Cardiida (8 species), Lucinida (3 species), Mytilida (5 species), Ostreida (12 species), Pectinida (4 species) and Venerida (10 species), Gastropoda: Caenogastropoda (2 species), Cycloneritida (2 species), Lepetellida (2 species), Littorinimorpha (28 species), Neogastropoda (45 species), Seguenziida (1 species), Siphonariida (1 species), Trochida (8 species) and unassigned (10 species) (Fig. 2.) The families with the highest species richness were Muricidae (22 species), Cypraeidae (13 species), Conidae (10 species) and Veneridae (8 species). The rest of the families were mostly represented by a single species (Fig. 3). Photos of 40 taxa were presented in Suppl. material 2.
