Description Species diversity of any region can be illustrated
by means of an available checklist. It provides an
overview of the species that have been recorded.
and can be considered to understand the local
fauna. Fortnightly surveys were carried out to
collect the shell-molluscs samples during 2012 - 2014
period from the by-catch of shrimp/fish trawlers
landed at Sakthikulangara-Neendakara Fishing
Harbour, Kollam. Collected bivalves and gastropods
included both empty shells and living animals.
Collected shells were brought to the laboratory and
placed in freezer for 24 hours. This would liquefy
the mollusc body and allowed easy extraction with
a strong jet of water.
