Nassariidae
The Nassariidae, Nassa mud snails (US), or dog whelks (UK) are a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized snails, mostly marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Neogastropoda. These snails have rounded shells with a high spire, an oval aperture, and a siphonal notch. This family of snails is found worldwide. These snails are found mostly in shallow water, on sandy or muddy substrates, often intertidally, but sometimes in deep water. They can be present in very large numbers in suitable habitat. Nassariidae are primarily active and lively scavengers. Subtaxa , the World Register of Marine Species accepts the following 48 genera, arranged within 7 subfamilies. Anentominae E. E.

Nassarius
''Nassarius'', common name nassa mud snails (USA) or dog whelks (UK), is a genus of minute to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Nassariidae.Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S. (2010). Nassarius Duméril, 1806. In: Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S.; Rosenberg, G. (2010) World Marine Mollusca database. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=138235 on 2010-11-30 They are scavengers. Etymology The name is derived from the Latin word "nassa", meaning a wickerbasket with a narrow neck, for catching fish. ''Nassarius'' would then mean "someone who uses such a wickerbasket for catching fish". Ecology Distribution and habitat Species within this genus are found worldwide. These snails usually live on mud flats or sand flats, intertidally or subtidally. Life habits Most ''Nassarius'' species are very active scavengers, feeding on crabs and carrion as dead fish, etc. They often burrow into marine substrates a ...
