About Schwartziella triticea
Bishop Museum Technical Report 29a appendix table (PDF p.109/printed p.101) records Schwartziella triticea at Kauaʻi station Ka2; methods identify Ka2 as Nawiliwili Harbor and document the October 2002 survey.
WoRMS/MolluscaBase AphiaID 598068 returns Schwartziella triticea as accepted (accessed 2026-10-01).
TR29a methods sampled shallow harbor and nearby coral-reef stations by 10-minute underwater searches and limited dredges, generally 0-20 m; this fits nearshore scope.
