Abstract:

This study assesses the potential use of two dominant freshwater gastropod species of the St. Lawrence River, Bithynia tentaculata (Prosobranchia) and Physa gyrina (Pulmonata), as biomonitors of metal pollution. Gastropods were collected in the littoral zone of Lake St. Louis and Lake St. Pierre, two shallow fluvial lakes of the St. Lawrence River, at sampling stations chosen to represent a metal concentration gradient in sediments. The soft body tissues of snails were analyzed for Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn. Metal concentrations in snail tissues were related to those in macrophytes, on which the

Abstract:

AbstractIn spite of using aquatic snails as bioindicators for water pollution, little attention has been paid to the effect of parasitism upon the concentration of heavy metals (Al, Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb and Zn) in these organisms. The present study therefore aimed to compare the concentrations of heavy metals in trematode-infected Biomphalaria alexandrina collected from Kafer Alsheikh and Menofia provinces, Egypt, with uninfected snails from the same sites, in order to assess the effect of parasitism on the use of these snails as bioindicators. The concentrations of heavy metals in the soft part

Abstract:

Freshwater gastropods are a diverse taxa that inhabit a wide variety of freshwater habitats (Lydeard et al. 2004, Strong et al. 2008). Freshwater gastropods often form narrow endemic ranges (Strong et al. 2008) with many species restricted to a single drainage or an isolated spring (Brown et al. 2008). In North America, over 60% of freshwater snails are listed as imperiled or presumed extinct (Lysne et al. 2008). The main factors for the reduction in snail biodiversity are habitat loss, water pollution, and the introduction of invasive species (Strong et al. 2008). Invasive species can dramati

Abstract:

Heavy metal pollution has been on the rise with serious implications for the wellbeing of aquatic ecosystems. Benthic sediments and freshwater mollusk (snail): Mellanoides tuberculata were sampled from five stations for determination of heavy metals concentrations and measurement of antioxidant enzyme activities. The spatial variation was studied using an enrichment factor, potential ecological risk index, and mean probable effect limit quotient (mPELq). From the results, Cu, Zn, Cd, Cr, Pb, Ni, and Co contamination levels were high at stations S3, S4, and S5 with an mPEL quotient of 94.40%. T

Abstract:

Metal pollution of the aquatic environment is of global concern because metals are ubiquitous and can be accumulated in natural habitats as well as in organisms through the food chain. Accumulated metals are capable of inducing toxicity in living organisms, altering their reproductive success, behavior, immune response and biochemical processes. We examined the correlation between the concentrations of 9 metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) in the whole body of the river snail Viviparus acerosus, river water and sediment from three Serbian rivers with different levels of metal pollut

Abstract:

The New Zealand mud snail ( Potamopyrgus antipodarum (J.E. Grey, 1843)) responds to the presence of predatory fish by moving to a safer environment. These experiments attempted to determine if predator detection by the snail results in specific responses to light and (or) gravity by the snail and if snails respond more or less to fish from their native lake compared with fish from a foreign lake. Snails and fish (Gobiomorphus cotidianus McDowall, 1975) were collected from lakes Alexandrina and Peorua from the South Island of New Zealand. Snails were placed in behavioral chambers and tested for

Abstract:

A major factor influencing the toxicity of Al at neutral pH is the presence of complexing ligands. This study compared the effect of exposure to aluminum nitrate, aluminum lactate, and aluminum maltol, in the presence or absence of monomeric silica (Si), on the behaviour of the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis. Concentrations of Al and Si used were similar to those found in the natural environment. Soluble Al concentration in the water fell significantly with time over 48 h following addition as the nitrate or lactate (500 μg·L-1), presumably owing to polymerisation as the colloidal hydroxide.

Abstract:

Time-lapse video was used to examine the effect of short- (19 h) and long-term (1 year) exposure to Al or Pb at neutral pH in static water conditions on the total distance moved by the freshwater snail Lymnaea stagnalis. Aluminium at 100, 200, 500, or 1000 μg∙L−1 normally depressed and Pb at 50 and 200 μg∙L−1 often increased activity over the first 19 h of exposure. Smaller (younger) snails generally showed greater sensitivity to Al. Exposure to 100 or 500 μg Al∙L−1 for up to 30 days caused hyperactivity, but thereafter and 1 year later, activity was similar to controls, suggesting that the sn
