Abstract

This paper reports first record of a marine bivalve Isognomon ephippium Linnaeus from the Chilika lagoon as well as mainland of India since this species is highly restricted to Andaman waters only. Actual cause of occurrence is still unknown however, it is believed that passive migration of larva/juvenile through high energetic cyclonic water current might have helped to settle in Chilika lagoon or else it is carried out by the ballast water. The observed species contains many of the miniature pearls within it that provides new prospective to pearl industry. Nevertheless, occurrence of this reef based and mangrove linked species in the Chilika indicates highly adoptive nature of the lagoon ecosystem for the congregation of diverse marine benthic fauna.
