Dear Pall,
First of all try to get hold of the following book:
Turner, R.D., 1966. A survey and illustrated catalogue of the Teredinidae
(Mollusca: Bivalvia). Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University.
And any of the other publications on shipworms by Ruth Turner.
A list of Indo-Pacific shipworms is given at:
http://members.tripod.co.uk/noldy/page6.html
Besides that use a search machine and type in the word SHIPWORMS and you
will receive more references than you would like.
Good Luck.
Henk K. Mienis
