The gastropod assemblage found in a 9-year old mangrove plantation differed from natural mangroves associations in that the former is dominated by opportunistic eurybiotic gastropOD species, which could mean that the ecosystem of planted mangroaves is unbalanced and is still in a transitional state.

Hastula hectica, a venomous snail in the family Terebridae, was comprehensively investigated and the results suggest that different major lineages of venomous molluscs have strikingly divergent toxinological and venom-delivery strategies.

The total species number and the proportion of mangrove-associated species are similar to studied faunas in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Thailand, but the diversity is much lower than that of the mangal fauna of the Philippines.

Observations on the ciliary currents in the stomachs of live specimens suggest that food absorption occurs through the stomach walls, rather than in the tubules of the digestive gland.
