Australian Microshells
"Basically, microshells are shells that, when the adult stage is reached, are very small.
How small? Well - that's up to you to define. Most people would probably choose a
boundary of 10 mm, but some people call things microshells that are much bigger than
that. In those cases they are dismissing as microshells' shells that are too small for
them to bother with." [eng]

Fish & Shellfish Immunology
This journal rapidly publishes high-quality, peer-refereed contributions in the expanding fields of fish and shellfish immunology. It presents studies on the basic mechanisms of both the
specific and non-specific defense systems, the cells, tissues, and humoral factors involved, their dependence on environmental and intrinsic factors, response to pathogens, response to
vaccination, and applied studies on the development of specific vaccines for use in the aquaculture industry. [eng]

Mollusc Listserver Information
Molluscs are one of the most diverse groups of invertebrate animals - both in form and habitat. They have
figured prominently in paleobiological and biological studies, and have served as study organisms in numerous
evolutionary, biomechanical, ecological, physiological, and behavioral studies. [eng]

Phylum Mollusca
Molluscs are bilaterally symmetrical eumetazoans. They have a true coelom (eucoelom) which is formed by the splitting of embryonic mesodermal masses (schizocoely). Development is
protostomous.
An important characteristic of most molluscs is the head-foot region. Most molluscs are strongly cephalized; that is, they have a well-developed head, in which is located a mouth and a
concentration of nervous and sensory functions. Adjacent to the head is a large, muscular foot formed from the ventral body wall. Used primarily in locomotion, the surface of the foot is
sometimes ciliated and and laden with numerous mucous glands. [eng]
