Sample checklist of Gastropoda and Bivalvia in Cham Islands, Vietnam.

Background

Cham Islands (Cu Lao Cham) is a group of 8 small islands in the Quang Nam province, Central Vietnam. There is only one study that mentioned the diversity of marine molluscs in this area. However, the data on species composition have not been digitised and not stored or shared for other purposes. Our paper aims to share the checklist of marine mollusc species (Bivalvia and Gastropoda) species that we collected from the littoral zone of Cham Islands in May 2017.

It is very important for researchers in various fields such as the structure and function of ecology and biodiversity monitoring.
