Diversity And Distribution Of Pteriidae (Mollusca: Bivalvia) In Malaysian Waters

A study on the diversity and distribution of Pteriidae oysters in Malaysian waters has been conducted at 9 locations which covered the Straits of Malacca (6 locations}, the South China Sea (2 locations} and the Sulawesi Sea (1 location). A total of 12 species of pteriids from two genera were identif...

A total of 12 species of pteriids from two genera were identified with 7 species from the genus Pinctada, namely, P. albina, P. chemnitzii, P. fucata, P. maculata, P. margaritifera, P. maxima, and P. nigra while 5 species from the genus Pteria, namely, P. avicular, P. brevialata, P. contumix, P. loveni, and P. penguin. Of these, nine species are first time recorded in Malaysian waters.
