English. Mangrove molluscs data collected from some mangrove forest in Indonesia (Sumatra, Kalimantan, Java, Maluku, and Papua) are used in order to understand the mangrove molluscs distribution and pattern of species abundance. The results of the present study strongly suggest three models (or combination of them) of distribution, i.e. (1) molluscs (especially bivalve) only recruit into certain micro habitat, in which they reach larger densities

The correlation between features of habitat and abundance of molluscs which can be described as preference are discussed.
