Molluscs are slugs, snails, shellfish and marine animals like octopus and squid, though the Yorkshire Conchological Society, affiliated to the YNU, concentrates on land and freshwater snails and slugs. The group records the distribution of land Mollusca, and maintains county species databases and distribution maps.
