Checklists & Collecting Reports
Lists of shells collected at Florida/Gulf locations
Posted: Oct 25 2012
Hutchinson Island (1971-1974), St. Lucie Co., FL, Nearshore Marine Species
This list prepared from:
Lyons, William G. November 1989. Nearshore Marine Ecology at Hutchinson Island, Florida: 1971-1974, XI. Mollusks. Florida Marine Research Institute No. 47.
Lyons conducted a three year inventory of Marine species potentially affected by the thermal plume of the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant.
Lyons reported every Mollusk species collected, attempted to identify all with current names, and assigned alpha characters to those species he could not identify. This list includes only those shells to which Lyons assigned species names. Genera names have been updated for currency.
