EFFECTS OF DAMAGE ON THE MORPHOMETRICS AND CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF SHELLS OF FRESHWATER SNAILS, Pila africana and Lanistes lybicus
Snails are soft-bodied animals with a protective shell. Although snail shells help to protect the snail from environmental threats and predators, occasionally the shell is damaged by predatory birds.
DETERMINATION OF ENZYME ACTIVITIES IN THE GUT OF TWO FRESH WATER SNAILS (pila africana and Lanistes lybicus)
Digestive enzymes activity of gut region of two fresh water snails (Pila africana and Lanistes lybicus) was studied in the Laboratory. Snails were thoroughly cleaned, the digestive tract regions were exposed and dissected.
