Abstract

Since the first discovery of hydrothermal vents at the Galapagos Spreading Center in 1977, gastropods have gained considerable attention as a major constituent of the chemosynthesis-based biological communities, especially the colonies of large species like Alviniconcha, Ifremeria and Lepetodrilus, or morphologically strange ones like the scaly-foot snail. Various types of symbiotic relations to bacteria have broadened the interest in them. During more than 30 years numerous vent and seep biotopes have been found mainly in temperate seas, but recently hydrothermal vents off Jan Mayen in the North Atlantic at 80°N and cold seeps off Norway between 67°N and 70°N (Haakon Mosby Mud Volcano) with chemosynthesis-based fauna (see Warén and Bouchet 2001; Desbruyères et al. 2006: 516–517 for map). Biology of these vent/seep organisms is still in an early state of exploration; much of what is known is summarized in the monographs by Van Dover (2000) and Desbruyères et al. (2006). Vent/seep taxa have also been a major target in research on higher phylogeny and systematics of gastropods. Several new families were established in the 1980s, based on seemingly “great differences” in morphology.

Acknowledgements We deeply thank Dr. Steffen Kiel (Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel) for his editorial work. We are also grateful to those who kindly reviewed this manuscript and supported our research on vent/seep molluscs since the 1980s. Many samples illustrated here were provided though kind help by crew and staff of IFREMER and JAMSTEC. Photographs of type specimens were taken at NSMT with help by Dr. Hiroshi Saito. Specimens, ecological and molecular information were given by Prof. Kazutaka Amano (Joetsu University of Education), Dr. Erik E. Cordes (Temple University), Dr. Daniel Desbruyères (IFREMER), Dr. Cindy Lee van Dover (Duke University), Dr. Yoshihiro Fujiwara (JAMSTEC), Dr. Shannon Johnson (Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute: MBARI), Dr. Andrzej Kaim (Polish Academy of Sciences), Dr. Steffen Kiel (Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel), Prof. Shigeru Kojima (Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute, University of Tokyo: AORI), Dr. Lisa Levin (Scripps Institute of Oceanography), Dr. Tomoyuki Nakano (NSMT), and Dr. Heiko Sahling (Bremen University), Dr. Michel Segonzac (IFREMER), Dr. Verena Tunnicliffe (University of Victoria), Dr. Robert Vrijenhoek (MBARI) and Dr. Hiromi Watanabe (JAMSTEC). Dr. Robert G. Jenkins (AORI), Dr. Takami Nobuhara (Shizuoka University), and Dr. Ryuichi Majima (Yokohama National University) shared fruitful discussion on fossil vent/seep fauna with us. Part of this work was supported by a ­Grant-in-Aid from Japan Society of the Proton of Science (no. 18340165).
