Abstract

ABSTRACT A mass mortality of the sea hare Aplysia gigantea at Augusta, Western Australia was first reported to local authorities on 10 February 2021. The number of dead sea hares on the beach increased rapidly, until thousands were to be seen on a 4 km stretch; the maximum density of dead individuals was estimated at 20–30/m2. We suggest the mortality was caused by weather conditions that washed the animals ashore, where they died. Weather conditions changed on 17 March and the dead sea hares were washed back out to sea.

摘要：2021年2月10日，西澳大利亚州奥古斯塔市首次向地方当局报告了海兔海兔的大规模死亡。海滩上死海兔的数量迅速增加，直到在4 km延伸；死亡个体的最大密度估计为20-30个/m2。我们认为，死亡是由将动物冲上岸的天气条件造成的，它们在那里死亡。3月17日，天气状况发生变化，死海兔被冲回大海。

期刊介绍： Molluscan Research is an international journal for the publication of authoritative papers and review articles on all aspects of molluscan research, including biology, systematics, morphology, physiology, ecology, conservation, biogeography, genetics, molecular biology and palaeontology. While the scope of the journal is worldwide, there is emphasis on studies relating to Australasia and the Indo-west Pacific, including East and South East Asia. The journal’s scope includes revisionary papers, monographs, reviews, theoretical papers and briefer communications. Monographic studies of up to 73 printed pages may also be considered. The journal has been published since 1957 (as the Journal of the Malacological Society of Australia until 1993). It is free to members of the Malacological Society of Australasia and the Society for the Study of Molluscan Diversity.
