SANCHEZ-TELUMBRE, N. A. et al. Mollusks associated to the rock oyster Striostrea prismatica Gray, 1825 in Corrales Beach, Jalisco, Mexico. Revista bio ciencias [online]. 2021, vol.8, e1072.  Epub 04-Out-2021. ISSN 2007-3380.  https://doi.org/10.15741/revbio.08.e107.

We report the mollusks associated to the right valve of the rock oyster Striostrea prismatica Gray, 1825. A total of twelve valves preserved in 96 % alcohol were examined. The mollusks associated to the valves were examined using a stereoscope. The valves analysed had a minimum length of 61.1 mm and a maximum length of 84.2 mm. A total of 164 molluscs associated to the twelve valves were quantified, represented by the classes Gastropoda and Bivalvia, with a total of 8 families, 11 genera, and 12 species. We identified four species of gastropods and eight species of bivalves. The most abundant families were Mytilidae (Bivalvia) with 64.0 % and Hipponicidae (Gastropoda) with 11.6 %. The average abundance of the study was 13.7 molluscs/valve. Internal marks were quantified in the valves, caused by the borer bivalve Leiosolenus aristatus. This study contributes to the diversity of mollusks associated to Striostrea prismatica.
