These pages contain information on all the marine mollusc species that are currently recognised as occurring in Tasmanian waters by the author of these pages, Simon Grove. The links below provide multiple ways to access the pages. The following taxonomic levels are recognised: class, subclass (or taxa of roughly equivalent rank), order (or taxa of roughly equivalent rank), superfamily (or taxa of roughly equivalent rank), family (-subfamily), genus and species. Note that each list-option above the species-level gives access to further lists lower down in the taxonomic hierarchy. If your interest is primarily in the larger shells you may encounter while beachcombing, then you may wish to restrict your browsing to the 334 species on the "beachcombers' list". You can go straight to the first of these using the link above, or you can navigate to the nearest "beachcombers' species" from any species page.
