Phylum Mollusca http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsxAr_yrJtM
Mollusks • 50,000 -100,000 living species • 35,000 extinct species • Largest = 1000 pounds • 80% less than 5 cm
Name comes from latin “molluscus”, meaning soft body • Most have a shell • Most marine
Phylum Mollusca • Triploblastic • Symmetry: Bilateral • Coelomate • Protostomes
Mollusca share 3 common features: • A muscular foot – usually for movement • A visceral mass – including internal organs • A mantle – envelopes visceral mass and secretes a shell
Body Plan Pericardial cavity Metanephridium Mantle cavity Gonad Gills Radula Foot Stomach and digestive gland
Class Bivalvia • Two shells • Most are filter feeders • No head or radula • Burrow • Sand, wood, rocks
Giant Clam & Burrowing Clam Siphon
Zebra Mussel • Environmental Pest • Ballast water of ships from Europe in 1986 • Attack by secreting adhesive byssal threads • Each other • Other mussels • Man made objects • Pipes, plumbing
Zebra Mussel • Live in high densities • Feed on phytoplankton • Reproduce rapidly
Zebra Mussel • Attach to native mussels • Killed all native mussels in Lake Erie

Class Gastropoda • Largest Class of Mollusks • One shell (if present) • Torsion of body (visceral mass twists 180° during development)
Gastropod • Open circulatory system • Fluid called Hemolymph
Snail • Terrestrial • Mantle cavity functions as lung
Snail Pneumostome Tentacle(Eye stalks) Shell Tentacle Anus Foot Mouth Genital pore
CONE SNAILhttp://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=tueb+snail+eats+fish&aq=f
Nudibranch • No shell • Dorsal projections • Gills • Nematocyst discharge
Abalone • Several holes in top of shell • Excrete waste • Food for man
Slug • No shell • Garden pests
Limpet • Herbivores • Cling to rocks or other surfaces
Conch • Large shell • Marine • Many are predators
