Can anyone help with this very emportent question - richard - 03-19-2009

Does anyone have information on what shells are illegal to sell, ship or own such as those on the endangered species list and where to find this list.
Thank you
Richard

There is a searchable database here.  Outside of the giant clams (Tridacna), almost all the listed mollusca are land and fresh water species.

Thanks Paul, as I understand there are only, Tridents, King and Queen cunch, and giant clams on the endangered species list. I am trying to get the complete list from the philippine government now for conus and cypreas.
