Bivalvia (Mollusca) of the Gulf of Mexico
Donna D. Turgeon, William G. Lyons, Paula Mikkelsen, Gary Rosenberg, and Fabio Moretzsohn
The molluscan class Bivalvia includes mussels, oysters,
scallops, and clams. Named for the characteristic twoshelled valves that enclose sot parts of the animal, bivalves
are an important part of the benthic infauna and epifauna
of the Gulf of Mexico. They can be found from the head of
tide to the deepest abyss, attached to rocks and shells, buried in the mud and sand, crawling on seagrass blades, and
burrowing in wood and coral rock. These animals serve
important ecological roles in estuaries and other shallow
waters as ilter feeders that ingest what is in the water and
egest processed materials to the substrate. Bivalve burrowing species turn over shallow sands, silts, and mud, aerating the topmost substratum. Boring bivalves break down
coral rock and wooden materials, forming crevices for
other species to inhabit. The shipworms, a highly modiied group of bivalves, are agents for decomposing organic
materials in seawater (e.g., trees and wooden debris) but
are considered pests by many coastal residents because
they burrow into and destroy wooden pilings and other
structures, causing millions of dollars of damage. Scallops, oysters, mussels, and clams have great commercial
value and are featured fare in many Gulf restaurants. Most
bivalves are free living, although a few are parasitic. Life
cycles most oten include planktonic larvae.
Many errors are suspected in the literature, because the
taxonomy of bivalve mollusks is diicult. Species identiication is based oten on subtle diagnostic diferences in
the shape of the shell, the curve of the pallial sinus where
the siphons attach to the shell, and tiny teeth and indentations where the hinges rock together as the clam opens and

shuts its valves. Species that cement to, or bore into, hard
substrates oten have shell shapes too variable to allow
identiication at the species level. As is the case for many
other invertebrate taxa, upper-level taxonomy continues
to evolve. Taxa that were subgenera a few decades ago
have been elevated to generic status, and even the familial
level taxa are in lux. Some of the species recorded for the
Gulf of Mexico 50–100 years ago have not been reported
since. Most scientiic sampling has been done in shallow
habitats and in national marine sanctuaries, parks, and
refuges. Deepwater habitats are still relatively unknown.
For abyss and seep species, distributions are thought to be
patchy; sampling is diicult, ship time is expensive, and
the few expeditions undertaken to date have certainly not
covered enough territory.
The purpose of this report is to update the list of
711

Bivalvia. Drawing by F. Moretzsohn.
bivalves known to reside in the Gulf of Mexico (GMx)
compiled by Rehder (1954). In Rehder’s own words (1954:
471), “I list only a few species” in what seem to be the most
important biotopes present in the littoral zone. Thus, he
elected to discuss the distributions of 41 bivalve species
from the entire Gulf of Mexico, delineating the littoral fauna
into 2 tropical provinces and 4 ecological areas. The Caribbean/Antillean Province he deined from the Florida Keys
and north on the Gulf side of Florida to about Tampa Bay,
the northwest coast of Cuba, and the Mexican coast from
Cabo Catoche on Yucatán north to the vicinity of Corpus
Christi, Texas (possibly to Matagorda Bay). North of this
tropical Caribbean area the fauna is more temperate, with
zoogeographic ainities to Carolinian/Virginian Province
fauna. According to Rehder, the deeper waters of the Gulf
showed a relationship to the tropical element of the Caribbean or West Indian fauna. It also had some ainities with
the deeper waters of the Atlantic and Paciic coasts of the
United States. Further genetic studies may yet reveal many
of the deepwater Gulf species to be endemic but closely
related to other species of the Atlantic and Paciic coasts.
The irst publication that listed the mollusks found
along the entire Gulf coast and discussed their geographical ranges was Dall’s (1889) catalog, reprinted with additions in 1903. Maury (1920, 1922, 1971) published his catalog of the Gulf mollusks, followed by Johnson’s (1934)
“List of the Marine Mollusca of the Atlantic Coast from
Labrador to Texas.” Although not listed in Rehder (1954),
one of the most comprehensive descriptive lists of Texas
bivalves is Pulley’s (1952a) doctoral dissertation.
There has been much data gathered on the distributions of Gulf bivalve species since Rehder’s 1954 work. The
information in the current checklist of 528 Gulf bivalve
species has been compiled from published references and
unpublished reports on specimens in museums that were
collected from various expeditions and cruises.
As in the 1950s, we know most about Florida bivalves.
Designated in November 1990 to protect the natural, historical, and social qualities of the Florida Keys environment, the National Ocean Service’s Florida Keys National
Marine Sanctuary has sponsored much research on Florida
Keys species. The Tortugas Ecological Reserve, a no-take
restricted area, was added in July 2001 to the westernmost
waters of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
The Dry Tortugas National Park, designated in 1992,
provides further protection of the area and additional
funding for scientiic studies. One of the major pieces of
research sponsored by these national organizations is the
work published in Mikkelsen (1981) and Mikkelsen and
Bieler (2000, 2004). Florida has conducted much research
on bivalve mollusks, including publishing its checklist of
Florida species (Camp, Lyons, and Perkins 1998). Other
major works enumerating Florida bivalves include Perry
and Schwengel (1955), McGinty and McGinty (1957),
Turney and Perkins (1972), and Kirkendale et al. (2004).
Little information on Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana marine bivalve mollusks is available (e.g., Parker
1956, Moore 1961, Shelton 1997, García 1999, and García
and Lee 2005).
Texas marine biota has been well analyzed by a series
of reports in the Texas Conchologist by Odé from 1964
to 2001. Individual reports have further illed in knowledge gaps of bivalve distributions of Texas. These include
Parker (1959, 1960), Parker and Curray (1956), Tunnell and Chaney (1970), Pequegnat (1972, 1983), Treece
(1979), and Davenport (2001). The National Ocean Service’s Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary
and the Department of the Interior’s Minerals Management Service have sponsored research on fauna found on
the shelf-edge banks of the northwestern Gulf of Mexico (e.g., Lipka 1974, Andrews 1977, Tunnell et al. 1978,
Rezak, Bright, and McGrail 1985, Dokken, MacDonald,
and Tunnell Jr. 1998, Hyde 2000, Barrera 2001).
More information is now available than in 1954 on
bivalve populations of Mexico (Moore 1958, García-Cubas
1963, Rice and Kornicker 1965, Chávez, Hidalgo, and
Sevilla 1970, Tunnell 1974, Wiley, Circé, and Tunnell Jr.
1982, Boudreaux 1987, Tunnell and Nelson 1989,
Gonzáles et al. 1991, Reguero and García-Cubas 1994,
Ardisson and Durán-Nájera 1997, and Baqueiro, Medina
M., and Aldana Aranda 2004).
Population ecology of Cuban bivalve populations has
been little studied. The current checklist was based on
data from Aguayo and Jaume reports (1948, 1950), Abbott
(1974), and other reports that mentioned any species that
Turgeon et al. ~ 713
existed in Cuba. Espinosa and Ortea contributed a list of
molluscs of the Gulf coast of Cuba (Espinosa and Ortea,
pers. comm., 2005).
Deep-sea abyss and seep fauna, relatively unknown in
the 1950s, has since been enumerated by James (1972),
MacDonald et al. (1990), Kohl and Vokes (1994), Nix et al.
(1995), Gustafson et al. (1998), and Cordes (2004).
There are a number of comprehensive reports that
have been published as well as government sampling programs being conducted along the shores of the U.S. Gulf
of Mexico. Pulley’s (1952a) Ph.D. dissertation covered the
entire Gulf of Mexico and provided new information on
the zoogeography of its bivalve mollusks. The National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA 2006)
and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA
2005) have monitored toxic contaminants and their
efects on biota in estuaries and shallow waters of the Gulf
and elsewhere since 1990 (the bivalve data can be found
at http: // nbi.noaa.gov / and http: // www.epa.gov / emap / ).
Finally, Mikkelsen (2006) and Rosenberg (2005) maintain
websites that ofer information on the distribution and
synonymies of bivalve mollusks from the Gulf of Mexico
and Western Atlantic Ocean.
In the present list, depth data in italics indicate the
known bathymetric range from records throughout the
range of the species; numbers in roman are based on collections from the Gulf of Mexico only. An asterisk (*) ater
the depth range indicates the species is known only from
empty shells.
The classiication and nomenclature adopted here
generally follows that in Turgeon et al. (1998). Orders and
families are arranged phylogenetically; genera and species
are listed alphabetically within families.
