Diversity and occurrence of nudibranchs in Thailand

On the genus Armina (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia: Nudibranchia) in Thailand

“…That species was afterwards illustrated by Debelius and Kuiter (2007: not the one from the Persian Gulf), and Gosliner et al (2008Gosliner et al ( , 2015 and determined as A. semperi/Armina cf. semperi, as were the specimens of A. semperi from Thailand (Chavanich et al 2013). Not surprisingly, a comparison with the original description of the species showed that they were not the same species.…”

“…The marine sea slug heterobranch fauna from Thailand has been studied and/or summarized by Jensen (1992Jensen ( , 1998Jensen ( , 2007, Swennen (2001Swennen ( , 2007Swennen ( , 2011, Swennen and Buatip (2009), Nabhitabhata (2009), Chavanich et al (2013), and Mehrotra and Scott (2015), who recorded a total of 240 species. Of all these species, among the most notable is Armina semperi (Bergh 1866), which is the only representative of the genus Armina Rafinesque, 1814 recorded to date in Thailand (Chavanich et al 2013), in both the Gulf of Thailand and along the Thai coasts of the Andaman Sea.…”

“…Since 2010, several Acropora species seem to be at risk for local extinction or may already have disappeared. Chavanich et al (2013) report on the diversity and occurrence of nudibranchs in Thailand. The highest diversity, based on a 10-year survey, was recorded for the Andaman Sea (adjacent to the Indian Ocean), when compared with the Gulf of Thailand (bordering with the South China Sea under Pacific Ocean influence).…”
