Description: In the spring of 1973, a Guide to the Macroscopic Estuarine and
Marine Invertebrates of the Delaware Bay Region was published by the
College of Marine Studies, University of Delaware, as Volume 5 of the
Delaware Bay Report Series. The purpose of the guide was to facilitate
the study of macroscopic estuarine and marine invertebrates of the
Delaware Bay region with particular emphasis on benthic organisms. It
contained a section on the Phylum Mollusca. Since the guide was published,
our ecological studies have considerably increased the collecting areas
of the former guide. As a result, we considered this a good opportunity
to refine and amend the original version of the Mollusca while including
species recently added to our collection.
