While most people thinking of invertebrates for the aquarium are thinking of marine invertebrates, there are a surprising number of freshwater invertebrates that make excellent tank inhabitants. Many freshwater invertebrates do not require large amounts of space, making them ideal for Nano tanks or even goldfish bowls. Some eat algae or uneaten fish food, while others are stunningly beautiful. Sometimes such useful attributes even belong to the same creature. However, freshwater invertebrates

gastropods include grazers, browsers and planktonic feeders (Integrated Principles of Zoology, 2014). Some examples are Prosobranchia, a subclass of selective herbivores feeding on seaweed, and majority of the pulmonate species. Majority of land snails are also herbivores, feeding on decaying plant matter, comparable to their marine ancestors browsing on algae (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2015). On sand and mud flats live many groups of gastropod scavengers such as strombids, nassariids and limpets

move more efficiently, without hurting themselves (Why Do Snails Leave Slime

CHAPTER 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION Snail meat has been consumed by humans throughout the world since prehistoric times. It is high protein (12-16%) and irons (45-50mg/kg), low in fat (0.05-0.8%) and contains almost all the amino acids needed by humans. In addition to the nutritional value of snail meat, a recent study has shown that the glandular substances from edible snails cause agglutination of certain bacteria; this could be of value against a variety of ailments, including whooping cough. In

known as the giant African snail, is an invasive species native to Africa, of very large, air-breathing land snails that can reach up to 20 cm in length and 10 cm in diameter. The United States Department of Agriculture considers the Giant African Snail to be one of the most damaging species for the agriculture and crops in the country. It consumes a wide variety of fruits and vegetables and is known to eat at least 500 different types of plants. The giant African snail is becoming a significant agricultural

World Health Organization (WHO) stated that the median lethal concentration (LC50) for any molluscicidal material must not surpass (100 ppm) (WHO, 1993). The present results showed that, match 5%EC (Lufenuron 5% EC) was toxic to B. alexandrina snails at LC50 2.04 mg/l (Table 1). The internal defense system of molluscs is comprised of cellular and humoral components (Le Clec’h et al., 2016). Thus, the immune response is carried out by circulating hemocytes and soluble hemolymph factors (Fried

Arriving in the vicinity of Koblenz at night was not ideal, our hotel was on the opposite river bank which required us to take a commuter ferry. It was windy and the dark water appeared rough and dangerous, I was nervously apprehensive, moreover, my little sister was too, we had never been on a boat before. When the ferry pulled up to the dock, Noke drove the car right onto the flat deck and assured us that we would get across the river safely. Underway, he invited us to step out of the car to

habituation of snails to harmless stimulus. To develop problem solving and experimental skills, for example, information is accurately processed and presented, experimental procedures are planned, designed and evaluated properly, producing valid results, recording results, and valid conclusion is drawn. To learn the correct way of poking the snail. Problem Statement: When a garden snail is touched, it withdraws its eye stalks into its body quickly. This is a quick response of the snail to avoid

animals undergo aestivation. Organisms that aestivate appear to be in a fairly "light" state of dormancy, as their physiological state can be rapidly reversed, and the organism can quickly return to a normal state. A study done on Otala lactea, a snail native to parts of Europe and Northern Africa shows that they can wake from their dormant state within ten minutes of being introduced to a wetter environment. Fossil records show that the act of aestivating may be several hundred million years old
