Abstract

Abstract

The results of an analysis of molluscan remains collected from the Chukchi Sea,the Beaufort Sea and the Bering Sea during the first Chinese national arctic research expedition,from July to September 1999.Seventeen species of molluscs have been identified,and they belong to two classes:Bivalvia and Gastropoda.The compositions of Mollusca from the above mentioned areas are very simple.According to the distribution pattern,among the molluscan species two groups may be distinguished.The panarctic and circumboreal group comprises A starte montagui,Liocymaf luctuosa,Macoma calcarea,M.moestaalas-kana,Mya pseudoarenaria,Nuculana pernula,N.radiata,Nucula bellotii,Seripes groenlandicus and Turritellapolaris.Three species,Argobuccinum oregonense,Cyclocardiacrebri costata and Trichotroiscoronata are components of the panarctic and Pacific boreal group.With regard to feeding habits,detritus feeders dominate.There are seven species of detritus feeders,i.e.,Macomacalcarea,M.moestaal askana,Macoma sp.,Nuculana pernula,N.radiata,Nucula bellotii and Trichotropis coronata.Detritus feeders are dominant with regard to the numbers of species as well as to the occurrence frequency.Macomacal carea is the most abundant species.
