Composition of gastropods in mangroves of Tanjung Dawai and Pulau Sayak, Kedah

A total of 426 individuals from six families, six genera and ten species were collected from Tanjung Dawai while a total of 351 individuals from five families, five genera and six species were collected from Pulau Sayak. Six families that were found from Tanjung Dawai were Littorinidae, Neritidae,...
