This field guide sums up two decades of biodiversity surveys and explorations initiated by two premier institutions in India, <strong>Suganthi Devadason Marine Research Institute (SDMRI)<\/strong>, coordinating the Tropical Marine Mollusc Programme (TMMP) in India, and the <strong>Department of Aquatic Biology &amp; Fisheries<\/strong>, University of Kerala. The spectacular diversity of molluscs found in the Gulf of Mannar and adjacent waters in India is described with <strong>excellent photographs<\/strong> in multiple views, facilitating easy species identification also by laypeople. <strong>The habitats, diversity, ecosystem services, ecology and commercial value<\/strong> of molluscs are also highlighted. This fully illustrated guide will assist the academicians, researchers, conchologists, divers, students, civil society groups and the general public in realizing the diversity of exquisitely biodiverse marine molluscs of the Gulf of Mannar, besides appreciating the need for their conservation for future generations.<\/p>\n<p>Edition: 2022<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"sottotitolo\"><span>Subtitle: <\/span>a fully illustrated guide<\/p>\n<p class=\"autore\"><span>Author: <\/span>j.k. patterson edward &#8211; r. ravinesh &#8211; a. biju kumar<\/p>\n<p class=\"editore\"><span>Publisher: <\/span>suganthi devadason marine research institute (sdmri)<\/p>\n<p class=\"isbn\"><span>ISBN: <\/span>9789355788986<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":124772,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2947],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-98091","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-rest-of-the-world-books-malacology","8":"first","9":"onbackorder","10":"taxable","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
