VELASQUEZ, Marcel  and  LOPEZ, Irelis M.. The presence of Teredo clappi (Bivalvia: Teredinidae) in Venezuelan coastal waters. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2016, vol.87, n.2, pp.516-518. ISSN 2007-8706.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rmb.2015.11.003.

We document the first record of the shipworm Teredo clappi (Bartsch, 1923) in Venezuelan coastal waters. We obtained individuals of T. clappi during 2 years at the El Morro Lagoon, Margarita Island. This record confirms the establishment of this species in the region.

Keywords : Teredinids; Shipworms; Caribbean Sea; Mollusks.
