The catalogue spans Bivalvia (mussels, clams, oysters, scallops), Cephalopoda (octopuses, squids, cuttlefishes), Gastropoda (snails, limpets, sea slugs, whelks), Polyplacophora (chitons), and Scaphopoda (tusk shells).

Taxonomy follows WoRMS (World Register of Marine Species). Conservation status reflects known assessments; many species remain unevaluated.
