Additions and amendments to the Distribution of the marine molluscs of north west Europe 1993

Abstract

JNCC Report 165 (published in 1993) updates the publication 'Distribution of the marine molluscs of north west Europe' (also referred to as 'MWNWE') to the Conchological Society's new marine census datum of 1 January 1991. In addition, the opportunity was taken to add earlier records notified or confirmed too late for inclusion in Seaward (1990). Nomenclature was also updated, the North Sea/Baltic boundary was amended to take account of important surveys in that region, and errata were incorporated.

Accordingly, this update includes the following:

  1. A concordance with the Checklist of British marine mollusca of 1991 by Smith & Heppell (1991), covering differences between that work as published and the draft version used in the preparation of MMNWE.
  2. Amends the North Sea/Baltic boundary, and properly incorporates the important work of the two Wikander surveys off south Norway.
  3. Adds pre-1991 records notified to the Marine Recorder, or confirmed, too late for inclusion in MMNWE.
  4. Incorporates errata.

This resource has been produced from a scan of an original document. You may therefore experience fluctuations in quality.
