A simple technique for predicting the biomass of a prosobranch snail.

چکیده
l. A simple technique was developed for accurately predicting the biomass of the freshwater prosobranch Viuiparus contectoides (Mesogastrapoda: Viviparidae) (Binney, 1865). 2. Regression of dry weight (biomass) on wet weight yielded a regression coefficient (r’) of 0.99 with an associated P < 0.001. 3. Biomass, therefore, can be predicted by measuring wet weights without sacrificing specimens.

متن کاملPropagation of action potentials through electrotonic junctions in the salivary glands of the pulmonate mollusc, Helisoma trivolvis.
The secretory cells of the salivary glands of the snail, Helisoma trivolvis, exhibit regenerative, overshooting action potentials whose ampliture may exceed 100 mV. The salivary glands consist of paired, tubular, epithelial structures with acinar outpocketings. The secretory cells display extensive electrical coupling which allows action potentials to propagate along the glandular epithelium. S...

Gastrodiscosis outbreaks due to Gastrodiscus aegyptiacus were recorded in horses in the vicinity of Harare, Zimbabwe, in the absence of Bulinus forskalii, B. senegalensis and Cleopatra sp. which are considered to be the only intermediate host snails. This suggested the possibility of other snail species acting as intermediate hosts in the life cycle of the trematode. A study was carried out to ...
