CONFIRM_UNGROUNDED
Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. GO:0005615 'extracellular space' kept as an xref. Non-habitat screen review (#108): Host-associated > Mollusca > Respiratory system > Gills > Extracellular denotes the extracellular compartment of gill tissue, a real microbial habitat. GO:0005615 'extracellular space' describes the spatial compartment but is not itself a microbial-habitat identity, so it is retained only as an xref. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.6c8238add0)

DEFINED
Defined as 'molluscan gill extracellular environment' under ENVO:01001055 'environment associated with an animal part or small animal'. Definition authored from the existing item-level #108 decision and the committed Mollusca and Bivalves reports under research/habitats/; no new paid research was commissioned. GOLD's Host-associated > Mollusca > Respiratory system > Gills > Extracellular source denotes the extracellular compartment of molluscan gill tissue, not GO:0005615 'extracellular space' as a habitat identity, the whole gill, the gill surface without the extracellular qualifier, the intracellular compartment of a symbiont-bearing gill cell, or annelid egg-capsule extracellular habitats. ENVO:01001055 'environment associated with an animal part or small animal' is the tightest safe vendored genus because ENVO lacks a general extracellular host environment or molluscan gill extracellular environment class; unlike whole-host invertebrate term requests that avoid importing an animal-part restriction, that restriction is true here because the determinant is molluscan gill tissue. parent_mode=REPLACE drops the source-inherited Gills parent because the extracellular environment is determined by gill tissue but is not a kind of whole gill.
