We present here a study of the predation by gastropod drillers (Naticidae family) on the bivalve Spisula subtruncata (da Costa, 1778). S. subtruncata is the dominant species in the infaunic community on the soft, fine granined substrate of the shores in Serra de Irta site (Peníscola, Baix Maestrat, Iberian Peninsula, western Mediterranean). This work was conducted studying the marks (Oichnus paraboloides type) made during the predation process on the shells. The samples were collected from a thanatocenoses on the “Cala Irta”. In a first analysis we found a total of 26 Naticidae prey-species showing Oichnus paraboloides: Gastropoda, Bivalvia, Scaphopoda and Anellida. We found a clear preference for bivalves of the Mactridae family, 80%...
