Malacology is the part of invertebrate zoology that manages the investigation of the Mollusca (mollusks or molluscs), the second-biggest phylum of creatures regarding depicted species after the arthropods. Mollusks incorporate snails and slugs, shellfishes, octopuses and squid, and various different sorts, large numbers of which have shells. One division of malacology, conchology, is committed to the investigation of mollusk shells.

Fields inside malacological research incorporate scientific classification, environment and advancement. Applied malacology examines clinical, veterinary, and horticultural applications, for instance mollusks as vectors of illness, as in schistosomiasis.

In 1681, Filippo Bonanni composed the main book at any point distributed that was exclusively about shells, the shells of marine mollusks. The book was entitled: Ricreatione dell' occhio e dela mente nell oservation' delle Chiociolle, proposta a' curiosi delle opere della natura, &c.] In 1868, the German Malacological Society was established.

Zoological strategies are utilized in malacological research. Malacological field strategies and research facility strategies (like gathering, reporting and documenting, and sub-atomic methods) were summed up by Sturm et al.

Molluscs are the biggest marine phylum, including about 23% of the relative multitude of named marine organic entities. Various molluscs additionally live in freshwater and earthly living spaces. They are profoundly different, in size and anatomical design, yet additionally in conduct and environment. The phylum is commonly separated into 7 or 8[6] ordered classes, of which two are completely terminated. Cephalopod molluscs, like squid, cuttlefish, and octopuses, are among the most neurologically progressed of all spineless creatures—and either the goliath squid or the enormous squid is the biggest known invertebrate species. The gastropods (snails and slugs) are by a wide margin the most various molluscs and record for 80% of the all out characterized species. This has a solitary, "limpet-like" shell on top, which is made of proteins and chitin built up with calcium carbonate, and is discharged by a mantle covering the entire upper surface. The underside of the creature comprises of a solitary solid "foot". In spite of the fact that molluscs are coelomates, the coelom will in general be little. The primary body cavity is a hemocoel through which blood circles; in that capacity, their circulatory frameworks are primarily open. The "summed up" mollusc's taking care of framework comprises of a grating "tongue", the radula, and a mind boggling stomach related framework in which radiated bodily fluid and tiny, muscle-fueled "hairs" called cilia assume different significant parts.
