Mollusk freaks: new teratological cases on marine mollusks from the South Pacific Ocean

ABSTRACT The present study provides new documented cases of abnormalities on chitons (hypomerism and coalescence of shell plates), in addition to four new cases on keyhole limpets (closed apical opening), and one new teratologic case on internal organs in octopuses (missing gill). We assess the freq...
