Results of the survey of mollusks in the rocky tidal zones at 22 sites along the Phu Quoc island in April 2019 has identified 42 taxa of Mollusks, belonging to 3 classes: Gastropoda (25 taxa), Bivalvia (16 taxa) and Polyplacophora (1 taxon). Species composition between stations varies from 2 to 9 species. The average density was 21.07 individuals/m2, ranging from 3.67 individuals/m2 in Southeastern Kim Qui to 84.22 individuals/m2 in Hon Dam Ngoai. Density of mollusks was highest in the middle tide zones (42.42 individuals/m2), followed by high tide zones (14.55 individuals/m2) and lowest in the low tide zones. Density dominance belongs to two species Patella sp. and Siphonaria sp. distributed in the middle tide zones.
