In this study, we assessed the diversity of bivalves and gastropods that inhabit r ed mangrove roots, in isla Larga, Mochima, Venezuela Sucre state. Bimonthly collections were made from January 2007 to May 2008, in four study areas denominated: South, North, East and West. In each area, five mangrove roots were sampled, and the specimens were obtained. We analyzed a total of 180 roots and a total of 35 bivalve species and 25 gastropod species were found. The most abundant bivalves were: Isognomon alatus , Isognomon bicolor , Ostrea equestris , Crassostrea rhizophorae and Brachidontes exustus ; among gastropods, the most common where: Littorina angulifera , Cymatium pileare and Diodora cayenensis . The months with the highest abundances and number of individuals for both groups were January and July 2007, and March 2008. The mangrove ecosystem in isla Larga, presented a number of individuals and species higher than those reported for other regions in Venezuela and the Caribbean. Rev. Biol. Trop. 62 (2): 551-565.
