INFLUENCE OF Archachatina marginata SNAILS’ GROWTH PHASES ON BODY WEIGHTPREDICTIONS USING SIMPLE LINEAR AND QUADRATIC MODELS

This study evaluates body weight predictions in Archachatina marginata across different growth phases, showing that the quadratic model provides higher accuracy, particularly in late growth phases, with aperture length and diagonal length as key predictors.
