Toxicity of Pesticides to Fecundity, Hatchability and Survival of Young Snails of Lymnaea acuminata

The effects of carbaryl and phorate on the fecundity and hatchability of the snail Lymnaea acuminata, the survival of young snails were studied. It was observed that the fecundity of Lymnaea acuminata was reduced only at the 11.00 mg/l concentration of carbaryl and phorate, whereas a time- and dose dependent reduction in the hatchability of exposed eggs and the survival of young snails was observed.
