ABSTRACT – This paper is part of a series compiling data on the biodiversity of the shallow water
(< 30 m) marine and estuarine flora and fauna of the Kimberley region of coastal northern Western
Australia and adjacent offshore regions out to the edge of the Australian continental shelf (termed the
‘Kimberley Project Area’ throughout this series – see Sampey et al. 2014). This series of papers, which
synthesise species level data accumulated by Australian museums to December 2008, serves as a
baseline for future biodiversity surveys and to assist with future management decisions. This present
paper deals with the molluscs of the classes Polyplacophora, Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Scaphopoda and
Cephalopoda. The molluscs, the most numerically diverse of all of the groups analysed in the Project
Area, comprise a total of 1,784 species. Given that (a) the present collation is tightly constrained
in terms of locations sampled, depth ranges, dates and institutional databases, (b) there are many
undersampled groups (perhaps the majority of families), and (c) the rate of species discovery for
molluscs within the Project Area is rising at a rate of approximately 18% per year (according to two
independent analyses outlined herein), it is predicted that the eventual total for the Project Area will
exceed 5000 species. The molluscan fauna of the Project Area is almost entirely tropical in composition
with almost no attenuation of numerical diversity southward, either inshore or offshore. Neither
does any pronounced difference exist in numerical diversity across the shelf, despite only 25.32% of
species being common to both inshore and offshore locales; the low percentage probably being due
to inadequate sampling. A total of 183 species (10.28%) is endemic to Australian waters, with the
majority of these endemics (9.32%) occurring only at inshore localities.
KEYWORDS: baseline data, biodiversity, species inventory, natural history collections, northern
Western Australia.
INTRODUCTION
This paper compiles the available data on the
biodiversity of molluscs (classes Polyplacophora,
Gast ropoda, Biva lv ia, Scaphopoda a nd
Cephalopoda) for the waters of the Kimberley
and areas offshore of northern Western Australia
collected between 1900 and 2008 and housed in
two Australian museums – the Western Australian
Museum (WAM) and the Museum and Art Gallery
of the Northern Territory (MAGNT; formerly
Northern Territory Museum). It is intended to serve
as a baseline for future surveys and to assist with
the formulation of management protocols and
decisions.
As explained in Sampey et al. (2014), the
Kimberley Project Area (shortened hereafter
to Project Area) (Figure 1) was defined by the
coordinates: 19.00°S, 121.57°E; 19.00°S, 118.25°E;
12.00°S, 129.00°E; 12.00°S, 121.00°E. The coastline
forms a natural inshore boundary from the
Northern Territory border, along the Western
Australian coast, to Cape Jaubert south of Broome.
The irregular polygon created offshore stretches
westward beyond the 1000 m bathymetric contour
to include the edge atolls of the continental shelf
(i.e. those from Hibernia Reef to Imperieuse Reef).
The Project Area therefore encompasses an
area, inshore but particularly offshore, far greater
than what is considered as the ‘Kimberley’ proper
(Wilson 2013). This Project Area encompasses seven
of the northern Australian mesoscale bioregions
recognised under the Interim Marine and Coastal
Regionalisation of Australia (IMCRA) Bioregions
(Commonwealth of Australia 2006): CambridgeBonaparte, Bonaparte Gulf, Kimberley, King

Sound, Canning, Oceanic Shoals and the North
West Shelf bioregions. The Project Area, or at
least the inshore and midshelf sections of it, also
encompasses the northern half of the Western
Australian Department of Fisheries North Coast
(Pilbara/Kimberley) Aquatic Resources Bioregion,
that extends from the Northern Territory border
southwest to Onslow, and seaward to latitude
114.83° S (Fletcher and Santoro 2013).
As explained in some detail in Wilson (2014), the
first collections of molluscs that included biological
specimens from the Project Area, were made by
British explorers and surveyors. The first of these,
in 1821–1822, was by Philip Parker King on H.M.C.
Mermaid (later replaced by H.M.C. Bathurst). John
Edward Gray of the British Museum reported a
total of 111 species of marine molluscs collected
on that expedition, but many of them were from
the temperate waters of southern and southeastern
Australia, so we cannot know what fraction might
have originated from the Project Area. Some
molluscs were collected during the expedition of
H.M.S. Beagle (i.e. the third voyage) in 1837–1843,
but again, any indications of which specimens
were collected from the Project Area were rarely
provided. British surveys of the Kimberley coast
were continued by H.M.S. Penguin in 1890 and 1891,
but the collections of sea shells were minimal.
Around the same time in the late nineteenth
century, the British biologist William Saville-Kent
visited the Kimberley coast and studied intertidal
rock oysters at the Lacepede Islands, King Sound
and Roebuck Bay. In 1891 he described the
mangrove associated oyster Ostrea ordensis [now
probably a synonym of Planostrea pestigris] from
Cambridge Gulf.
It was not until early in the twentieth century that
marine scientists visited the Kimberley coast with
the express purpose of studying marine habitats
and their entire biota. Dr Eric Mjöberg from
Sweden visited northern Australia twice during
1910–1913 as part of his study of the fauna of (then)
little known regions of the country. His collecting
sites for molluscs within the Project Area were the
shores around Broome and the pearling grounds
off Cape Jaubert, 130 km southwest of Broome. Nils
Odhner reported on the molluscs collected during
these expeditions (Odhner 1917), documenting a
total of 219 species of marine molluscs from the
Mjöberg collection. That collection resides in the
Swedish State Museum in Stockholm.

Herbert Basedow, a geologist from Adelaide,
journeyed in the western Kimberley including the
Buccaneer Archipelago, in 1916 aboard the cutter
Rita. Incidental to the geological objectives of his
expedition, Basedow made a collection of shells,
which he sent to Charles Hedley at the Australian
Museum. A taxonomic list of this material,
including descriptions of some new species, was
published in Basedow’s narrative of the expedition
(Hedley 1918).
Hubert Lyman Clark, an American zoologist
specialising in echinoderms, spent two months in
the Broome area during 1929. His own collecting
was supplemented by material obtained from
pearling grounds between Cape Leveque and
Wallal, 190 km to the northeast of Broome. He
was assisted in this collecting activity by Bernard
Bardwell, a master pearler and amateur shell
collector. A large personal collection of shells
assembled by Mr Bardwell and his wife Beresford,
mainly from the Canning Bioregion, but including
some specimens from the Kimberley and King
Sound Bioregions, was purchased by the National
Museum of Victoria in the early 1960s. A few shells
from that collection (of the species Astele monile
(see Figure 3D), Clanculus atropurpureus, Euchelus
dampierensis, Mitra variabilis, Arca avellana and Arca
navicularis) were donated to the Northern Territory
Museum in June 1976 by Brian Smith, then Curator
of Molluscs at the National Museum of Victoria,
to form the nucleus of the Northern Territory
Museum’s fledgling mollusc reference collection.
Virginia Orr Maes, of The Academy of Natural
Sciences, Philadelphia, spent several weeks in
Broome in 1958 collecting marine molluscs.
Interestingly, the type material of the species
Strombus urceus orrae (presently Canarium urceus
orrae) described by R. Tucker Abbott and named
after Orr Maes, had been collected from the Project
Area by Bernard Bardwell (Abbott 1960: 67). The
type specimen, collected at Augustus Island, is
deposited in The Academy of Natural Sciences,
Philadelphia.
Over the last fifty years, staff from natural
science departments in both WAM and MAGNT
(plus staff from related government departments
and interested ‘amateurs’) have been actively
collecting molluscs in the Project Area. The
knowledge thus obtained has supplemented the
initial checklist of 440 species of shallow water
marine ‘prosobranch’ molluscs compiled by Wells
(1980). The WAM published a systematic list of
marine molluscs from the Mitchell Plateau sector
of the northern Kimberley coastal area, based
on visits to the Institut Islands, Cape Voltaire
and Admiralty Gulf in 1976 (Wells 1981; Wells
and Slack-Smith 1981). Wells and Slack-Smith
(1986) reported on preliminary surveys of the
molluscan fauna of the Rowley Shoals, Scott and
Seringapatam Reefs undertaken by WAM between
1982 and 1984; as did workers on other groups.
Fred Wells subsequently collected additional
molluscan material during visits to islands of the
Kimberley Bioregion in 1988 (Wells 1989a, 1990) and
later reported on the molluscs collected during a
survey of the margins of the mainland Kimberley
coast and adjacent islands in 1991 (Wells 1992).
Bryce (1997) reported on the molluscs from the
central Kimberley coast. Wells and Allen (2005)
reported on the diversity of molluscs (and corals
and fishes) collected on expeditions (funded by
Conservation International (Washington D.C.,
U.S.A.) to eight inshore and coastal locations
within the Project Area, comparing them with
those from the eastern Indian Ocean and the
‘Coral Triangle’. Willan (2005) collated information
on the molluscs collected during the Northern
Territory Museum’s expeditions to the emergent
reefs on the northernmost part of the Sahul Shelf
– Cartier Island and Hibernia Reef (in May 1992),
and Ashmore Reef (in September 1996). Rosser et
al. (2014) reported on the macromolluscs collected
in the intertidal zones of the Browse Island reef
complex and the fringing reefs of the Maret, Albert,
Berthier and Montalivet Island groups made
between 2005 and 2007.
Many marine molluscs from the Project Area,
both shelled and shell-less species, are included and
illustrated in popular books by Wilson and Gillett
(1971), Wells and Bryce (1986, 1988, 1993) and Wilson
(1993, 1994).
METHODS
For this Kimberley Historical Project, data
for marine and estuarine molluscs from the
intertidal zone to a depth of 30 m were sourced
from registered specimen records from WAM and
MAGNT, plus published and unpublished books
and reports written by experienced molluscan
workers (Berry 1986, 1993; Wells 1989a; Morgan
1992; Wilson 1993, 1994; Wells et al. 1995; Walker
et al. 1996; Bryce et al. 1997; Walker 1997; Willan
2005; Bryce 2009). As such, they represent the
observed records of species in the Project Area,
but by no means all species occurring there. Full
methodological details relating to the decision
regarding which species to include in the initial
compilation for this list are provided in Sampey et
al. (2014). Decisions concerning data cleansing and
dataset limitations are also discussed at length by
Sampey et al. (2014).
Briefly, data from both institutions were collated
into a single database and the provenance details
verified. The data were derived from 145 locations;
137 inshore and 8 offshore. The locations of
specimen records were mapped using ARCGIS v9
R.C. WILLAN, C. BRYCE AND S.M. SLACK-SMITH
290
and ArcMap v9.3. This initial compilation for the
molluscs was reduced by 59 species by the senior
author because of obvious mislocalisations (e.g. the
southern Australian temperate cone snail Conus
anemone was included in the initial compilation),
synonymies (e.g. both names Melo ashmorensis
and M. cf. aethiopica were included in the initial
compilation, even though they relate to the same
species), misidentifications (e.g. the Indonesian/
Philippino volute Cymbiola vespertilio was included
in the initial compilation), or not being exclusively
marine (e.g. the freshwater molluscs Gabbia smithi
and Corbiculina australis were included in the initial
compilation).
The surveys on which these specimens were
obtained represent medium collecting effort on the
scale of survey intensity. None of them approached
the massive collecting effort undertaken by the
Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, two
decades ago. That survey involved approximately
400 person days collecting at 42 discrete stations on
the western coast of New Caledonia (Bouchet et al.
2002).
Finally, to achieve a nomenclatorial standard
across time, all species names have been updated
(as of 31 December 2014) to match those appearing
on the website World Register of Marine Species
(WoRMS 2014). Some of the names shown as
‘accepted’ on that website, at that date, were
considered to be incorrect when they were either
unsubstantiated subjective synonyms or had been
created/changed/checked by a non-specialist
(Cerithiidae, Turritellidae and Columbellidae being
examples). However, that website is generally
regarded as being the only global standard
checklist for scientific names for marine animals at
this time.
The WoRMS website also presents something
of a global standard for the authorities and dates
of taxa. However, we have deviated from that
website in that we cite authorities for 13 species
that were described by the German-born botanist,
Georg Eberhard Rumphius. While employed
by the Dutch East India Company, Rumphius
travelled extensively in the area now known as
eastern Indonesia and described and lavishly
figured many marine animals in his magnum
opus Amboinsche Rariteitkamer (Amboina Curiosity
Cabinet) (Rumphius 1705). This work has been
deemed unusable by the International Commission
on Zoological Nomenclature, as inconsistently
binominal, with the new names it contained
being invalid. References to several of Rumphius’
species with binominal, and thus valid, names
first appeared in the catalogue of the Portland
Museum, Dorset, England, a document constructed
to assist in the sale of a collection from the Portland
Museum, following the death of its owner Lady
Margaret Cavendish Bentinck, the Second Duchess
of Portland (1714–1785). While that document
did not contain any indication of authorship, it
is generally accepted that it was compiled by the
Reverend John Lightfoot – the chaplain, librarian
and mentor to the Duchess, and an accomplished
botanist and conchologist (Kay 1965, Dance
1966, Bebbington 1974). Therefore, in accordance
with Recommendation 51D of the International
Code of Zoological Nomenclature (International
Commission on Zoological Nomenclature 1999),
we follow the ruling which states “If the name of a
taxon was (or is deemed to have been) established
anonymously, the term “Anon” may be used as
though it was the name of the authors. However, if
the authorship is known or inferred from external
evidence, the name of the author, if cited, should
be enclosed in square brackets to show the original
anonymity.” The authority for these names in
our list (i.e. Lambis truncata, Sinustrombus sinuatus,
Pterynotus elongatus, Mitra incompta, Colubraria
muricata, Melo amphora, Conus quercinus, Dolabella
auricularia, Umbraculum umbraculum, Cucullata
labiata, Geloina erosa, Brechites attrahens, Argonauta
hians) is therefore given as ‘([Lightfoot], 1786)’.

This list is arranged phylogenetically. The
subclades, all of which are unranked and change
almost every decade, are those presently appearing
in influential contemporary works (e.g. Bouchet and
Rocroi 2005; Bieler et al. 2014). They are arranged in
the following sequence:
Major clade (class) Polyplacophora: major subclade
Neoloricata.
Major clade (class) Gastropoda: major subclades
Pa t e l l o g a s t r o p o d a , Ve t i g a s t r o p o d a ,

Major clade (class) Scaphopoda: major subclades
Dentaliida and Gadiliida.
Major clade (class) Cephalopoda: major subclades
Nautiloidea, Sepioidea, Teuthoidea and
Octopoda.
Within these 19 major subclades, the families are
listed alphabetically. Within families the genera and
species are also listed alphabetically.
Throughout this series, ‘inshore’ refers to
locations along the coast, plus islands and reefs
located shoreward of the 50 m depth contour.
‘Offshore’ refers to the shelf edge atolls, which arise
from deeper waters along the continental margin.
Each species has a habitat code assigned to
it (Table 1). These codes, which are related to
macrohabitats (i.e. substratum type and lifestyle),
were derived from the Australian Faunal Directory
(ABRS 2014) together with the knowledge of the
authors. A single species may exploit several
habitats and therefore may have multiple codes.
Similarly, a biogeographic code is assigned to
each species (Table 2). These codes, relating to
biogeographic affinities, were derived from the
Australian Faunal Directory (ABRS 2014) and from
the personal knowledge of the authors.
Because of their significance for biogeography,
it is important to distinguish those species
of molluscs that are endemic to Australian
waters (i.e. those waters above the Australian
R.C. WILLAN, C. BRYCE AND S.M. SLACK-SMITH
292
Continental Shelf) and their distributional ranges.
Therefore, their different biogeographic affinities
are distinguished as follows:
(a)
Those endemic species that occur only in
inshore waters are coded ‘in’;
(b)
Those endemic species that occur in both
inshore and offshore waters are coded ‘in/off’;
(c)
Those endemic species that occur only in
offshore waters are highlighted in yellow ‘off’.
The cut-off date for changes to this list was 31
December 2014. The final list appears in Appendix 1.
RESULTS
A total of 11,551 registered specimen lots was
included in the dataset (9,743 from WAM and
1,808 from MAGNT). The oldest specimen record
used in this dataset dates from 1886 (housed at
WAM) and is that of Pinctada margaritifera (from
Broome). As indicated in the Introduction, the
molluscan dataset has been derived from 145
locations within the Project Area – 137 inshore and
eight offshore (Figure 1). The five inshore locations
with the highest number of species (in descending
order) were Broome (487 species), Vansittart Bay
(178 species), Sunday Island (172 species), Port
Warrender (144 species) and Montalivet Island
(147 species), and 10 inshore locations had only a
single species recorded. The five offshore locations
with the highest number of species recorded were
(in descending order) Ashmore Reef (727 species),
Cartier Island (559 species), Scott Reef (445 species),
Hibernia Reef (338 species) and Seringapatam
Reef (283 species), and the location with the lowest
number of species recorded was Imperieuse Reef
(10 species).
A total of 1,784 species was accepted into the
dataset (see above). These species represent
209 families, of which the most speciose are
Conidae sensu stricto (84 species, or 4.71% of the
total), Muricidae (excluding Coralliophilidae and
Typhididae) (72 species, 4.04%), Veneridae (66
species, 3.70%), Cypraeidae (65 species, 3.65%),
Mitridae (60 species, 3.37%), Costellariidae (54
species, 3.03%), Tellinidae (49 species, 2.75%),
Cerithiidae (44 species, 2.47%), Trochidae sensu stricto
(41 species, 2.30%), Chromodorididae (40 species,
2.24%), Terebridae (38 species, 2.13%), Pectinidae
(36 species, 2.02%), Nassariidae (33 species, 1.85%),
and Mytilidae (30 species, 1.68%). Conversely, 61
families (29.33% of all families) are represented
by only a single species (Lepidopleuridae,
Ischnochitonidae, Callistoplacidae, Patellidae,
Nacellidae, Solariellidae, Colloniidae, Neritopsidae,

For clarity, the biogeographic relationships, from
the largest to the smallest components, are treated
separately in terms of their numbers of species.
The first four components are relatively large (i.e.
greater than 10%), whereas the last two components
are very small (i.e. less than 1%):
• The majority of species are considered to be
widely distributed across the tropical IndoWest Pacific marine biogeographic realm (1,433
species, or 80.37%) (Table 4, Figures 3A, 4,
Appendix 1);
• Indo-Australian (= tropical Western Pacific)
species (374 species, or 20.98%) (Table 4, Figures
3B, 4, Appendix 1);
FIGURE 4
Biogeographic affinity of all species of
molluscs recorded in the Kimberley Project
Area historical dataset. See Table 4 for
biogeographic codes.
Over half of the recorded species (1,186 species,
or 66.52%) are so far known from inshore waters,
while 1,037 species (58.16%) are known from
offshore waters. The remaining 25.24% (450 species)
were recorded from both inshore and offshore
regions.
Based on the collated habitat preferences of those
species recorded from either only inshore or only
offshore waters, the majority of species utilise hard
substrata (1,595 species, or 89.46%). A significantly
smaller number of species utilise soft substrata
(779 species, or 43.69%). Even fewer utilise both
hard and soft substrata (378 species, or 21.20%).
There are 71 (3.98%) epizoic species, 4 (0.22%)
endozoic species, and 6 (0.34%) epiphytic species.
There is no endophytic species recorded. There
are 52 (2.92%) mangrove specialists. There are 15
(0.84%) permanently pelagic species. There is only
one species (0.06%) tightly associated with seagrass
meadows – Smaragdia souverbiana. The majority
of both inshore and offshore species favour hard
substrates (i.e. 567 versus 614 species, respectively)
(Table 3, Figure 2). In contrast, more than double
the number of inshore species favour soft substrata
than do offshore species (i.e. 295 versus 110,
respectively) (Table 3, Figure 2). Not surprisingly,
there are significantly more inshore species
inhabiting either mangroves exclusively or mixed
soft substrata and mangroves. Conversely, the
number of permanently pelagic species offshore is
triple that of inshore species (i.e. 9 versus 3) (Table
3, Figure 2).
• Species whose biogeographic affi nit y is
presently unknown, having not yet been
determined with certainty (199 species, or
11.16%) (Table 4, Figures 3C, 4, Appendix 1);
• Species endemic to Australian waters (200
species, or 11.10%) (Table 4, Figures 3D,E,F, 4,
Appendix 1);
• Species whose range is considered to be
restricted to the Indian Ocean (10 species, or
0.56%) (Table 4, Figures 3C, 4, Appendix 1);
• Circumglobal species (7 species, or 0.39%) (Table
4, Figures 3G, 4, Appendix 1).
DISCUSSION
The data herein presented, albeit limited by the
project constraints of date range and funding,
represent the current state of molluscan knowledge
for the waters enclosed within the Project Area.
As such, they provide an important foundation
for the scoping of future molluscan research and
investigation.
The total of 1,784 species of molluscs is greater
numerically than that for any other group covered
in these analyses but, although the total for this list
is impressive, we consider it is well below the true
level of molluscan biodiversity in the Project Area.
This total is significantly below the total of 2,738
species known from one site in New Caledonia
(Bouchet 2002), or the 3,000 species predicted for
the Great Barrier Reef (Willan 2008), and even
those totals are probably only about half of the real
levels of diversity (Willan personal observation).
The reasons for this prediction of, perhaps,
5,000 species of molluscs in the Project Area, are
the limitations of the data set, undersampling,
and under representation of family level taxa.
Comments on the rate of species discovery are
given separately below, followed by comments
on the wider issues of habitats, biodiversity and
biogeography in the Project Area.

Limitations of the data set. The present collation
was tightly constrained in terms of the locations
sampled, the limits of depth range (0–30 m), date
range, Occupational Health and Safety regulations
(i.e. no night diving), and participating institutions.
In particular, it does not include any midshelf
locations and indeed there are some other endemic,
midshelf Western Australian species already
known, although they occur below 30 m. Of the
many examples of otherwise tropical Indo-West
Pacific molluscs reported from the midshelf
regions, we can cite just four of the most iconic
species herein. The first is Thatcheria mirabilis,
which Wells (1985) recorded from 348–508 m from
28 stations between 18.82°S, 116.83°E and 13.55°S,
122.90°E. The second is Typhis wellsi (Houart 1985)
and the last two are Calliotectum dalli claydoni and C.
tibiaeforme johnsoni (Wells 1989b).
The present list (Appendix 1) spans collecting
sites from the intertidal to 30 m depth, whereas
the Project Area contains large, far deeper, areas
including some basins that are greater than 100
m deep, such as 520 m depths in the vicinity of
the Rowley Shoals, and 600 m depths between
Broome and Augustus Island (Wilson 2014).
As previously stated, the dataset includes only
data from two Australian museums. It could be
extended considerably by the inclusion of data
from other Australian and international museums
holding historical material from the Project
Area (particularly the Australian Museum, the
Natural History Museum in London, the Swedish
State Museum in Stockholm and The Academy
of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia), as well as
numerous private shell collections. It could also be
expanded to include Australia’s CSIRO plankton
collections.
Undersampling. At present only a dozen families of
molluscs are adequately represented in Appendix
1. Most of these are families that contain species
that have external shells of moderate to large size,
and are well known taxonomically because of
their popularity with shell collectors – Cypraeidae,
Mitridae, Costellariidae, Volutidae, Terebridae
and Pectinidae. However, the most abundant
group of molluscs in terms of sheer number of
species is the micromolluscs (i.e. molluscs whose
maximum shell measurement is less than 5 mm
when adult) (Figure 3C). Unfortunately that group
has been greatly neglected (Rosser et al. 2014:
275, 285; personal observations). In comparison
to macromolluscs, micromolluscs require specific
collecting and sorting attention, and have a
reputation of presenting formidable taxonomic
difficulty. Species falling into that size category
occur within most families, but in this study
there are no representatives of some families that
predominantly contain micromolluscs, such as
R.C. WILLAN, C. BRYCE AND S.M. SLACK-SMITH
the Scissurellidae, Skeneidae (= Vitrinellidae),
C le nc h iel l idae, Ba rle eidae, Ade orbidae
and Runcinidae. In fact, all the families of
molluscs known to have the highest number
of micromolluscs in the Indo-West Pacific are
represented in this list by less than 10 species
(sometimes by only a single species) (see Appendix
1), although at least 30 species would be expected
to be represented. These families are Colloniidae,
Liotiidae, Rissoidae, Eulimidae, Scaliolidae,
Caecidae, Triviidae, Cerithiopsidae, Triphoridae,
Epitoniidae, Cystiscidae, Raphitomidae, Borsonidae,
Clathurellidae, Pyramidellidae, Acteonidae,
Haminoeidae, Nuculidae, Nuculanidae and
Galeommatidae.
Apart from the unrepresented taxa, entire
habitats have been barely sampled – the plankton,
interstitial environments, mangrove forests,
seagrasses and sea meadows. Some techniques,
which would have yielded large numbers of
additional species if they had been employed,
include night collecting, benthic dredging,
deployment of anaerobic mats, suction sampling
of soft substrata, the brushing of stones and
dead corals, the breaking open of decaying
wood in mangrove forests, the breaking apart
of hard substrata, and the intentional study of
other invertebrates known to host molluscs, such
as octocorals and echinoderms. In addition,
the setting of baited traps would have yielded
numerous scavenging gastropods and cephalopods.
Under representation of family level taxa. Since
the authors are very familiar with some of the
particular families of molluscs in the tropical
Indo-West Pacific after studying them for over 50
years, we stress that the diversity represented in
Appendix 1 does not adequately represent the true
situation. We would draw particular attention to
two taxonomic groups that are significantly under
represented.
First are all the families of heterobranch sea
slugs (formerly Opisthobranchia). The species
comprising these families (from Acteonidae
through to Fionidae in Appendix 1) generally
exist in low densities, and are inherently rare both
in time and space (and ephemeral when they do
appear), or a combination of all three (Marshall
and Willan 1999: 3). Therefore, the greater the
sampling effort expended to discover these species
would result in more of them being found. With the
complication of small adult sizes (frequently less
than 10 mm when fully extended and crawling),
it is likely that short or medium intensity surveys
would consistently under represent them. There
are presently 189 species of heterobranch sea slugs
on the list, but we predict that the true diversity of
this group would be approximately 550 species, as
predicted for the entire Great Barrier Reef (Willan
KIMBERLEY MARINE BIOTA. HISTORICAL DATA: MOLLUSCS
297
2008). There are several families of heterobranch sea
slugs completely absent from the species list that
would certainly be expected to be represented in
the Project Area: i.e. the Runcinidae, Vayssiereidae,
Hancockiidae and Babakinidae.
which are consistently around 18% per year, suggest
that the curve of species discovery is still rising
steeply and is far from having reached a plateau.
Habitat. Figure 3 compares the occurrence of the
1,334 species that were recorded only from inshore
or offshore with a particular habitat type in order
to investigate if any relationships exist. The 450
species that occurred both inshore and offshore
are not included because it is assumed they would
occupy the same habitat wherever they occurred.
Most species (1,743, or 97.76%) listed in Appendix
1 can be considered as primarily reef associated
(Table 3, Figure 2). By ‘reef associated,’ we include
those species that live directly on hard substrata
(e.g. rock and coral), or are ‘soft substratum’
species associated with large pieces of coral rubble
(indicated by S/H in column B in Appendix 1) such
as many costellariids and terebrids, or those species
occurring symbiotically with their host(s), which
are themselves living within hard substrata such as
coralliophilids and pyramidellids. This conclusion
also reflects a past bias towards the sampling of
hard substrata.
Large expanses of the Project Area are covered
exclusively by soft substrata (Wilson 2013) and
these areas have received comparatively little
collecting effort. As Wells (1992) has noted, many
of the inshore habitats are muddy, with high
concentrations of suspended silt in the water
column, at least during the wet season. As a
consequence, the numbers of species inhabiting
these regions are low compared with the coral reefs
offshore. In addition, there are no records of species
from the midshelf region.
Unlike the fishes (Moore et al. 2014), our list of
molluscs does not reveal an enormous difference
in the composition of species between inshore and
offshore regions (Table 3, Figure 2). Although we
consider that such a significant difference, with a
bias in favour of the offshore region, might exist
if the entire molluscan fauna were elucidated, we
suspect that the presently available data results
from disproportionate sampling (i.e. a greater
intensity of sampling in the inshore region; see
above). Over the years, the proportion of species
known only from the inshore region has decreased
as more intensive sampling has taken place
offshore, and is based on a collection of 336 species
belonging to 20 families of caenogastropods, of
which 34% inhabit both regions. Wells (1986: 197)
claimed that the diversity of the inshore fauna
was twice as large as that known from offshore; an
imbalance he attributed to a lack of habitat diversity
offshore. However, following on from the analysis
undertaken here this balance has now changed
with 1,186 species having been recorded from the
inshore area in contrast to 1,037 species offshore,
and with 450 (25.24%) in common (present data).
The second group is the boring and epizoic
bivalves. That is, bivalves living within (either
living or dead) substrata such as Mytilidae
(subfamily Lithophaginae) that bore into rocks and
scleractinian corals, plus Pholadidae (piddocks),
Xylophagidae (xylophagids), Teredinidae (ship
worms), and Clavagellidae (clavagellids) that
bore into wood in mangrove forests or, more
rarely, living aquatic plants in seagrass beds.
Another numerically large group of bivalves
is the galeommatoids (particularly the family
Galeommatidae; the so-called scintilla clams) that
are all small in size and live commensally with
other invertebrates, sometimes in considerable
numbers, in almost every habitat.
Collection effort and rate of species discovery.
The data reflect the efforts of a diverse series of
collectors over a significant period of time (1880s
to 2009). When viewed through the lens of time,
and in consideration of the risks and challenges
associated with fieldwork in the Kimberley that
they faced, these early collectors accomplished a
great deal.
Based on the recorded data, the most diverse
molluscan fauna in the Project Area is located
offshore in the areas of Ashmore Reef (727 species)
and Cartier Island (559 species). However, of all
145 locations, the next most diverse fauna is from
the inshore site of Broome (487 species) (see below).
Whilst indicating a greater diversity offshore,
these totals demonstrate clearly that past collecting
intensity was inconsistent between sites.
Even though it is not possible to obtain true
inventories of species collected a century ago
because of inadequate locality data (see above), it
is clear that the numbers of such specimens were
very low and did not reflect the true biodiversities
of the localities, not that, at the time, they were
intended to do so. For the inshore areas, Odhner
(1917) enumerated a total of 219 species from the
shores around Broome together with those from
the pearling grounds off Cape Jaubert. Our list
records 1,186 species from the area encompassing
those localities – 966 additional species over 97
years, or an increase of 18.48% additional species
for each year. For the offshore areas, Willan (2005)
enumerated 875 species from the emergent reefs of
the northernmost Sahul Shelf. Our list records 1,037
species from those localities – an additional 163
species over nine years, or a rate of 18.11% additional
species per year. These rates of species discovery,

Abundance. This study, which is comparative by
design, does not reveal the dramatic differences
in abundance previously shown between the
inshore sites and midshore/offshore regions by
some species of molluscs. For example, Wells
and Slack-Smith (1986) mentioned that the Fluted
Giant Clam (Tridacna squamosa) was common on
Bedwell Island (Rowley Shoals) and Sandy Island
(Scott Reef), whereas it was only rarely recorded
on the mainland coast. Wells (1986) similarly
highlighted an additional difference in such relative
composition – many of the species of molluscs,
which have been reported from both inshore and
offshore have been found at either only one or a
few mainland localities, but are abundant and
widespread offshore. For example, Conus miles
was recorded as isolated individuals at only five
widely scattered localities along the entire Western
Australian mainland coast, but it was common
on reef platforms on the Rowley Shoals and Scott
Reef (Wells 1986). Similarly, Drupina grossularia and
Vasum ceramicum were each represented by only
single specimens on inshore reefs surveyed in the
northern Kimberley (Rosser et al. 2014), whereas
they are abundant on offshore reefs (Wells 1986).
Biodiversity. The numerically dominant families
in our list are among the most speciose marine
molluscan families in the entire region – Conidae,
Muricidae, Veneridae, Cypraeidae, Mitridae,
Costellariidae, Tellinidae, Cerithiidae, Trochidae
sensu stricto, Ch romodorididae, Telli n idae,
Pectinidae, Nassariidae and Mytilidae. This list
matches in composition and more or less in rank,
the order published by Willan (2005) for the
offshore reefs of the Sahul Shelf alone. However, it
substantially exceeds the magnitude of species in
that list.
The endemic component of the molluscan fauna
of the Project Area can be further subdivided into
four elements:
A) T h o s e s p e c i e s c o n s ide r e d No r t h e r n
Australian endemic species, having their
biogeographic range (whether large or
small) centred in tropical northern Australia
(71 species, or 3.98%). The distributional
ranges of most of these species extend into
the Northern Territory, some into northern
Queensland, and most reach southwards at
least as far as North West Cape (Wells 1980).
Some of the best known of these species are
Astele monile (Figure 3D), Astralium stellare,
Terebralia semistriata, Doxander campbelli,
Euprotomus iredalei, Pterynotus acanthopterus,
Timbellus bednalli, Chicoreus cornucervi,
Cominella acutinodosa, Oliva brettinghami,
Amoria damonii damonii, A. turneri, Conus
victoriae, Ennucula superba, Vasticardium
elongatum wilsoni, Mactra eximia, Globivenus
embrithes and Tawera laticostata.
B)
Those species presently considered to be
strictly Western Australian endemics and
whose biogeographic range (whether large
or small) is confined to Western Australian
waters (64 species, or 3.59%). This total is
close to that for Northern Australian endemic
species. Some of these Western Australian
endemic species are the most iconic of all
Australian molluscs – Tectarius rusticus, Zoila
decipiens, Amoria ellioti (Figure 3E), A. grayi, A.
jamrachii, A. praetexta, Cymbiola nivosa, C. oblita
and Mimachlamys scabricostata.
C)
Those species considered to be southern
Australian endemic species, that is, they
have their biogeographic range (whether
large or small) centred in temperate southern
Australia (44 species, or 2.47%). The majority
of such supposedly endemic temperate
Australian species are distributed along the
southern Australian coast to Cape Leeuwin,
such that their occurrence in the Project Area
constitutes the limit of their northernmost
range. The most familiar, and supposedly
best taxonomically known, of these species
are Conuber conicus, Scutus antipodes, Bulla
quoyii (Figure 3F), Haliotis squamosa, Nerita
atramentosa, Cronia avellana, Mitra badia, Conus
dorreensis, Conus novaehollandiae, Chromodoris
westraliensis, Brachidontes ustulatus, Modiolus
albicostatus, Anadara trapezia, Barbatia pistachia,
Lasaea australis, Paphies elongata and Macomona
deltoidalis. We suspect the inclusion of some
of them may be either misidentifications or
based on extra-limital individuals (so-called
‘waifs’), which are not breeding. These
records all need careful review.
D)
On ly t wo species (Oliva australis and
Laevidentalium lubricatum) (0.11%) have an
enormous biogeographic range extending
continuously all the way from tropical
northern Australia, throughout Western
Australia, to temperate southern Australia.
We have reviewed the identification of O.
australis, which definitely occurs in Darwin
Harbour, Northern Territory, though probably
only as waifs, and can confirm it, whereas we
have not reviewed the identification of the
latter species.
This endemic component of 200 species can be
partitioned between those species that occur only
inshore (coded ‘in’ in Appendix 1], those that occur
in both inshore and offshore waters (coded ‘in/off’ in
Appendix 1), and those occurring only in offshore
waters (coded ‘off’ in Appendix 1).. This division
results in 181 inshore endemic species (10.15%), 19
offshore endemic species (1.07%), and only 5 species
(0.28%) whose ranges extend across the shelf. The
KIMBERLEY MARINE BIOTA. HISTORICAL DATA: MOLLUSCS
299
figure of 10.15% for inshore endemics is very close
to that of 10% estimated by Wells (1992: 31, 1986),
and suggests his figure is probably close to the
actual situation.

Biogeography. The marine molluscan fauna of the
Project Area is dominated by species that are more
or less widespread in the tropical Indo-West Pacific
(i.e. 1,391 species derived by combining the totals
for IWP and IA in column C in our list, or 77.97% of
the whole molluscan fauna). Some of these species
may be at the southernmost extent of their range
in the Project Area, but this is difficult to establish
because of the strength of the southward-flowing
Leeuwin Current, which means that waifs will turn
up regularly south of their ‘normal range’, and the
present inadequacy of sampling further south.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We thank Stacey Osborne and Albert Miles
for registering sections of the WAM mollusc
collection in preparation for this analysis. We thank
Alison Sampey for her significant contribution
in compiling the initial dataset for this study. We
thank Barry Wilson for allowing us to repeat some
parts of his paper in this series on the history and
environment of the Project Area which relate to
the history of molluscan collections (Wilson 2014).
This allows both papers to stand alone, yet have
conformity between the texts in these historical
matters. Neil Wright spent many hours assisting
the senior author to import and check habitat
data from an earlier spreadsheet into Appendix 1.
Nathalie Yonow worked tirelessly to perform the
analyses and generate the pie graphs for us. Adam
Bourke kindly took some of the photos of the shells

KIMBERLEY MARINE BIOTA. HISTORICAL DATA: MOLLUSCS
301
APPENDIX 1 Species of molluscs recorded in the Kimberely Project Area historical dataset. Australian endemic species
are demarcated separately to distinguish them – those that only occur in inshore waters are coded
‘in’ those that occur both in inshore and offshore waters are coded ‘in/off’ and those that only occur in
offshore waters are coded ‘off’. Explanations for habitat and biogeographic codes are summarised in the
Methods section of this paper and also explained in Sampey et al. (2014).
