 Definition of Mount Kyllini
There was a port in Elis in Antiquity named Cyllene near the mouth of the River Alpheus, where the traveller Pausanias noted the image of Hermes, "most devoutly worshipped by the inhabitants, is merely the male member upright on the pedestal." Several nearby modern places are also named Kyllini.
Cyllene is the name given to an Indo-Pacific genus of snails ( Gastropoda).
Cyllene or Kyllene herself was a mountain nymph (an oread) who had taken for her consort Pelasges in the most ancient times that Greek mythographers could recall.

 CESI- SMMS METADATA REPORT
Occurring at higher frequencies than expected were species associated with oyster beds, including the snapping shrimp Alpheus heterochaelis (which burrows in oyster clumps and rubble), the mud crab Eurypanopeus depressus and other xanthid crabs in the genus Panopeus.
Again, because of the preponderance of oyster reef in area 4 compared to other areas, abundance of these reef-associated species is to be expected.
Although Whitewater Bay is one of the primary nursery habitats for pink shrimp and an important recruitment site for juveniles, pink shrimp tend to be more abundant in areas structured by Thalassia and Halodule (Sheridan 1996).
