“…The survivors grow rapidly and begin to reproduce before mid-term drying, after which they undergo little further growth. These general patterns are common in other study populations in warm districts (Shizuoka: Ozawa and Makino, 1988;Kyushu Island: Tanaka et al, 1999;Suzuki et al, 2000;Watanabe et al, 2000;Shobu et al, 2001); therefore, snails in cold districts have similar life cycles to those in warmer districts, irrespective of low survival during winter.…”

“…The survival rate in Nara also appears to be lower than in other studies conducted in warm districts (8-15% in Kumamoto, Kyushu: Watanabe et al, 2000;Wada and Matsukura, 2007;18-67% in Saga, Kyushu: Shobu et al, 2001;60% in Shizuoka: Ozawa and Makino, 1988), although direct comparison is difficult due to differences in field conditions, methods of investigation, and snail size (Shobu et al, 2001). In this study, the results of a general linear mixed model showed that cumulative low temperature had a significant effect on snail survival over winter, as well as in previous studies (Ozawa and Makino, 1988;Shobu et al, 2001); therefore, the main factor affecting winter survival appears to be a climatic factor represented by the CLT index, and is likely to be low temperature itself. However, differences in other factors, such as precipitation, soil conditions and culturing practice, should also be taken into account.…”

“…Although the snails bury themselves in the soil, they do not have a high tolerance to low temperatures (Ozawa and Makino, 1988;Shobu et al, 2001;Wada and Matsukura, 2007), suggesting that winter survival is likely to be low in cold districts. In fact, P. canaliculata cannot survive over winter in paddy fields in Ibaraki, mid-Honshu Island (Ito, 2002).…”

The life cycle of the apple snail Pomacea canaliculata was monitored over 2-and 1-year periods in Nara (cold district) and Kumamoto (warm district), respectively. The life cycles were similar in both districts: most hatchlings appeared after August, and although some had grown to Ն20 mm by autumn, the majority of juveniles remained Ͻ20 mm. The survival rate over winter was very low (Ͻ1%) in Nara, and moderately low (9%) in Kumamoto. After winter, survivors grew rapidly with low mortality, reproduced actively in summer, and most died during the following winter. The survival rate during mid-term drying (drying of fields for about 2 weeks in summer) in Nara was high (ca. 90%) in both years. In Nara, snail density after winter decreased to 1/43 of that in Kumamoto, but survivors in Nara grew larger and laid more eggs. Due to these effects, egg density in July, and also snail density in September, in Nara recovered to ca. 1/3 of that in Kumamoto.

“…Oya et al (1987) and Mochida (1991) reported that P. canaliculata could survive for 15-20 days at 0 °C, for two days at -3 °C, and for six hours at -6 °C. Furthermore, Oya et al (1987) and Syobu et al (2001) found that younger and smaller snails tolerated cold better than larger snails. However, most studies in Japan show an opposite trend or an optimum size for tolerance, for instance: -Juveniles of intermediate size were more tolerant of cold temperature than very small juveniles and adults‖ (Wada and Matsukura, 2007).…”

“…However, most studies in Japan show an opposite trend or an optimum size for tolerance, for instance: -Juveniles of intermediate size were more tolerant of cold temperature than very small juveniles and adults‖ (Wada and Matsukura, 2007). Field data and laboratory experiments in Southern Japan over seven consecutive years showed EFSA Journal 2013;11 (12): 3487 13 that snails larger than 6.0 mm exhibited greater cold tolerance than small snails (Syobu et al, 2001). Yingying et al (2008) found that exposure of P. canaliculata to 6 °C for seven days caused 100 % mortality with a median LT 50 of four days, whereas field tests by Yu et al (2002) showed that their mortality was 100 % when exposed to 1to 2 °C for only one day.…”

EFSA requested the PLH Panel to review the current state of the art of the biology and ecology of apple snails, reported in this opinion, and to perform an environmental risk assessment for validation of the Plant Health environment guidance document, which will be provided in a second opinion. The Panel presents in this opinion the current state of the art of the biology of apple snails, and develops and uses a population dynamics model to assess the potential establishment of apple snails in the EU. A thorough review of the literature on the biology of Pomacea canaliculata and P. maculata was performed to collect information and data on life history characteristics related to temperature, which was used in the population dynamics model. Although uncertainties on the systematics and taxonomy of the genus Pomacea remain, it is now acknowledged that Pomacea insularum is a synonym of P. maculata and can be undoubtedly differentiated from P. canaliculata. Natural spread occurs via rivers and canals, in which the snails crawl, drift, float and raft. Flooding increases spread. In addition, attachment to animals (e.g. birds, cattle, horses, deer and aquatic invertebrates) results in spread. Human assistance results in spread through cultivation transport of rice seedlings, aquaculture, aquaria, boats, and agricultural field machinery. The potential distribution of P. canaliculata in Europe was obtained by calculating with the population dynamics model, the average snail abundance per year in each node of a grid of 0.25 × 0.25 degrees covering Europe, which resulted in the following conclusions: (1) the area of potential establishment comprises wetlands of southern Europe (i.e. Spain, southern France, most of Italy and Greece) and the Balkans up to the latitude of the Danube river, (2) the potential area of establishment includes the rice production areas in Europe. SUMMARYThe European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) asked the Plant Health Panel (hereinafter referred to as the Panel) to deliver a scientific opinion on the risk posed to the environment in the European Union (EU) by the apple snail. In this document the Panel presents a review of the current state of the art of the biology and ecology of the apple snail and performs the assessment of the potential for the apple snails to establish in the EU territory using a population dynamics model. The environmental risk assessment of the apple snail for the EU territory, including an evaluation and update of the risk assessment methodology will be presented in a second scientific opinion.In a previous opinion on Pomacea spp. (EFSA Panel on Plant Health (PLH), 2012b) the Panel concluded, based on a preliminary climate matching exercise, that (a) climate is not a limiting factor for spread and further establishment in the risk assessment area, (b) vast areas of Europe have climatic conditions very similar to those in areas within the current distribution of Pomacea spp., and (c) the recognised importance of natural spread, as well the availability of suitable hab...

1. Pomacea canaliculata, a freshwater snail from South America, has rapidly established natural populations from south to north subtropical region in China, since its original introductions in the 1980s. Low temperature in winter is a limiting factor in the geographic expansion and successfully establishment for apple snail populations. There have been some studies on population level of low temperature tolerance for P. canaliculata, yet little is quantified about its life-history traits in responses to cold temperatures. Whether these responses vary with the acclimation location is also unclear. We investigated the survivorship and longevity of P. canaliculata in responses to cold temperatures and examine whether these responses vary with the location and snail size. We hypothesized that survival of the snails depends on their shell height and the level of low temperature, and P. canaliculata population from the mid-subtropical zone may exhibit the highest viability over the cold thermal range. 2. We sampled P. canaliculata populations from five latitude and longitude ranges of subtropical China: Guangzhou population in southernmost (SM-GZ), three populations of Yingtan (MR-YT), Ningbo (MR-NB), Ya'an (MR-YA) in midrange, and Huanggang population in northernmost (NM-HG) subtropical zone. For each P. canaliculata population, survival and longevity at six cold acclimation temperature levels (12, 9, 6, 3, 0, and −3°C) were quantified, and the effects of location and shell height were examined. 3. The MR-YA population from mid-subtropical zone of China exhibited the highest survival rate and prolonged survival time regardless of the temperature acclimation treatments, whereas the SM-GZ population from southern subtropical was the most sensitive to cold temperatures, particular temperatures below 9°C. No individuals of the SM-GZ population could survive after stressed for 30 days (3°C), 5 days (0°C) and 2 days (−3°C), respectively. For each experimental P. canaliculata population held at 3, 0, and −3°C, individuals with intermediate shell height of 15.0-25.0 mm had significantly higher survivals.
