“…The snails were acclimated in 20 litre laboratory aquarium tank (60 × 30 × 30 cm) containing dechlorinated tap water at room temperature (25 ± 2 • C). The snails were fed with fresh lettuce (Lactuca sativa) which was maintained ad libitum by feeding them two to three times a week according to their consumption, in order to avoid bacterial growth and water fouling [33,34].…”

Golden Apple Snail (GAS) is the most destructive invasive rice pest in Southeast Asia. The cost of synthetic molluscicides, their toxicity to non-target organisms, and their persistence in the environment have propelled the research of plant-derived molluscicides. Most research efforts have focused on individual plant extracts for their molluscicidal potency against GAS and have not been proven to be entirely effective in rice field conditions. Selective combination of synergistically acting molluscicidal compounds from various plant extracts might be an effective alternative. In this direction, ethanolic extracts from six different plants (Neem, Tobacco, Nerium, Pongamia, Zinger, and Piper) were evaluated against Pomacea maculata Perry. Of the various combinations studied, a binary extract (1:1) of nerium and tobacco (LC 90 177.71 mg/L, 48 h), and two tri-herbal extract formulations (1:1:1) of (nerium + tobacco + piper) and (nerium + tobacco + neem) were found to be most effective, with LC 90 values of 180.35 mg/L and 191.52 mg/L, respectively, in laboratory conditions. The synergistic effect of combined herbal extracts resulted in significant reduction in LC 90 values of the individual extracts. The findings of this study demonstrate that the selective combinations of potent molluscicidal herbal extracts are effective for management of P. maculata under laboratory conditions.

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...

Survivorship of geographic Pomacea canaliculata populations in responses to cold acclimation

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.
