Snail as mini-livestock: Nutritional potential of farmed Pomacea canaliculata (Ampullariidae)
Agriculture and Natural Resources, 2017 Abstract Amino acids, fatty acids and minerals were investigated in the farmed freshwater snail Pomacea canaliculata (Ampullariidae) to understand its nutritional potential as alternative livestock. Snail samples with removed gut content were collected from a local snail farm in the Republic of Korea. Almost all the essential amino acids present in

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Fine‐scale environmental drivers shape freshwater mollusc assemblages in urban semiarid rivers. We examined how substrate composition and water chemistry influence mollusc richness and abundance along a polluted stretch of a river in the Brazilian semiarid region. Surveys at five sites recorded 2479 individuals.

A new alien snail species from the Eger stream, Hungary (Mollusca, Ampullariidae) [PDF]
Opuscula Zoologica Instituti Zoosystematici et Oecologici Universitatis Budapestinensis, 2016 Our macrozoobenthon samplings carried out in the Eger stream during 2015–2016 resulted in recording an alien species Marisa cornuarietis (Linneaus, 1758) the giant ramshorn snail which has not been reported so far from outdoorwaters in Hungary.

Seasonal Forest Resources Support Fish Biomass in Floodplain Lakes of an Amazonian Tributary
Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 11, November 2025.ABSTRACT The Flood Pulse Concept is a foundational ecological theory that emphasizes the critical role of lateral connectivity between a river channel and its floodplain. Many tropical rivers inundate the surrounding floodplain in the flood stage, thereby receiving large amounts of terrestrial organic matter that can be decomposed by microbes and ...

Study on the Synergistic Molluscicidal Effect of Pedunsaponin A and Niclosamide
Molecules, 2022 Niclosamide (NI) is the main molluscicide used to control Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck) (Architaenioglossa: Ampullariidae). However, NI failed to inhibit snail climbing during the treatment process.

Significant Progress in the Study of African Freshwater Snails Over the Past 260 Years
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.Globally, freshwater ecosystems are threatened, and studies estimate rapid degradation compared with terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Like most other tropical regions, Africa still has far to go regarding discovery and documentation. Using a systematic review process, we evaluated freshwater African snail studies.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.Behavior pattern changes of L. hoffmeisteri exposed to non‐free Pomacea canaliculata (PC) were found PC caused oxidative stress in L. hoffmeisteri PC changed the intestinal microbiota community structure of L. hoffmeisteri Aeromonas from the intestinal tract of P. canaliculata (As) had similar effects. As is the main stress source.

Zoomorphology, 2012 This study was aimed to investigate the functional morphology of copulation and sperm transfer in the invasive snail Pomacea canaliculata. Three-dimensional renderings of the male copulatory apparatus were made and showed elaborate systems for innervation and for hemolymph supply and drainage.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2024.The study investigates Tarebia granifera, a highly successful aquatic invader, in South Africa's Limpopo and Phongolo River systems. The study revealed that T. granifera dominates in habitats where it is present, negatively impacting native molluscan species. Interestingly, the study did not find significant correlations between T.

The fossil record of freshwater Gastropoda – a global review
Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 1, Page 177-199, February 2024.ABSTRACT Gastropoda are an exceptionally successful group with a rich and diverse fossil record. They have conquered land and freshwater habitats multiple times independently and have dispersed across the entire globe. Since they are important constituents of fossil assemblages, they are often used for palaeoecological reconstruction, biostratigraphic ...
