“…DNA barcodes of Palisada perforata produced in the present study can also be used to identify the same species occurring in Egyptian (Kh. Gabr et al, 2020) and Persian coasts (Abdollahi et al, 2020), as DNA barcoding works universal. The carrageenans of Sarconema filiforme barcoded in the present study were known for anti-inflammatory and prebiotic activity (du Preez et al, 2020), which was an anthropogenically threatened species in Tanzanian coast (Kayombo et al, 2020).…”

Strengthening the DNA barcode database is important for a species level identification, which was lacking for seaweeds. We made an effort to collect and barcode seaweeds occurring along Southeast coast of India. We barcoded 31 seaweeds species belonging to 21 genera, 14 family, 12 order of 3 phyla (viz., Chlorophyta, Ochrophyta and Rhodophyta). We found 10 species in 3 phyla and 2 genera (Anthophycus and Chnoospora) of Ochrophyta were barcoded for the first time. Uncorrected p-distance calculated using K2P, nucleotide diversity and Tajima’s test statistics reveals highest values among the species of Chlorophyta. Over all K2P distance was 0.36. The present study revealed the potentiality of rbcL gene sequences in identification of all 3 phyla of seaweeds. We also found that the present barcode reference libraries (GenBank and BOLD) were insufficient in seaweeds identification and more efforts were needed for strengthening local seaweed barcode library to benefit rapids developing field such as environmental DNA barcoding. We also show that the constructed barcode library could aid various industrial experts involved in seaweed bio-resource exploration and taxonomy/non-taxonomic researches involved in climate, agriculture and epigenetics research in precise seaweed identification. Since the rise of modern high-throughput sequencing technologies is significantly altering bio-monitoring applications and surveys, reference datasets such as ours will become essential in ecosystem’s health assessment and monitoring.

Here we review and evaluate the marine gastropods of the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman based on published accounts. A total of 850 species belonging to 129 families have records in the Persian Gulf (585) and Gulf of Oman (648), of which 383 species occurred in both regions. We updated the taxonomy and deleted records with dubious identifications. The resultant checklist documents the currently known diversity of marine gastropods from the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman and provides a foundation for future studies of the biodiversity of these areas.

Mollusk has a role as a food source in benthic ecosystems. Presumably, there has been a decrease in its diversity on the protected coastline of Berbak-Sembilang National Park (BSNP) due to fluctuations in water quality parameters that threaten the sustainability of another biota in the web food system. The purpose of this study was to describe the diversity of mollusks and their correlation with water quality in the protected coastline area. The research methodology was carried out, namely: water quality data collection, mollusk sampling, diversity analysis, and correlation analysis. Principal component analysis and similarity analysis were used. The results showed that there were 28 species of mollusks, which were classified into two classes: Bivalvia (79%), and Gatropoda (49%), with 21 species. The mollusk abundance means 263.25 ind.m-2, and the diversity is categorized as low H'1 except stations 2 and 4. It is supported by the dominant species, namely Anadara granosa (36.61%), and Nutricola sp. (35.47%. There are two clusters of mollusks: open coastal areas are characterized by higher temperatures, nutrients, salinity, pH, currents, and brightness, and estuary clusters are characterized by higher dissolved oxygen and mollusk abundance.
