“… 30 , 31 This is because of the ease of collection and sampling, their global distribution, short life-cycle, small size, high reproductivity, high adaption to various environmental conditions, and ease of culture under laboratory conditions. 30 , 32 The lettuce roots were first exposed to Ag + , AgNPs, TiO 2 NPs, or to a mixture of these NPs, and then, the leaves containing internalized Ag/Ti were fed to the snails. Afterward, the growth and behavior of the snails were monitored over a period of 22 days and the metal accumulation and metal distribution in the snails were determined.…”

The increasing application of biosolids and agrochemicals containing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO 2 NPs) results in their inevitable accumulation in soil, with unknown implications along terrestrial food chains. Here, the trophic transfer of single NPs and a mixture of AgNPs and TiO 2 NPs from lettuce to snails and their associated impacts on snails were investigated. Both AgNPs and TiO 2 NPs were transferred from lettuce to snails with trophic transfer factors (defined as the ratio of the Ag/Ti concentration in snail tissues to the Ag/Ti concentration in lettuce leaves) of 0.2–1.1 for Ag and 3.8–47 for Ti. Moreover, the majority of Ag captured by snails in the AgNP-containing treatments was excreted via feces, whereas more than 70% of Ti was distributed in the digestive gland of snails in the TiO 2 NP-containing treatments. Additionally, AgNP-containing treatments significantly inhibited the activity of snails, while TiO 2 NP-containing treatments significantly reduced feces excretion of snails. Furthermore, the concurrent application of AgNPs and TiO 2 NPs did not affect the biomagnification and distribution patterns of Ag and Ti in snails, whereas their co-existence exhibited more severe inhibition of the growth and activity of snails than in the case of applying AgNPs or TiO 2 NPs alone. This highlights the possibility of nanoparticle transfer to organisms of higher trophic levels via food chains and the associated risks to ecosystem health.

“…In addition, Nicolai and Ansart (2017) underlined that human-driven habitat loss through intensified urbanization, agriculture, and forestry dramatically increased the impact of climate change and endangers the species living in restricted habitat and with low dispersal such as land snails. Finally, excessive and misuse of pesticides result in environment contamination causing biodiversity loss particularly land snails (Nkontcheu et al, 2017;Baroudi et al, 2020).…”

Local population can play an important role in the sustainable management of biodiversity in protected area. This paper focuses on investigating local population’s knowledge and perceptions on land snail’s biodiversity and conservation status, by (1) testing their ability to recognize different species of land snails, (2) examining the factors involved in the reduction of land snail’s biodiversity, and (3) collecting their points of view on land snail’s biodiversity conservation status. Two hundred and sixty (260) people from four villages around Lamto Reserve were interviewed using structured questionnaire with six land snails supporting photos (three macro snails and three micro snails). The results showed that all the respondents had at least once seen the macro snails selected. More than 78% were able to recognize them without the pictures and more than 88% with the pictures. More than 85% of respondents had at least once seen the selected micro snails. Only less than 25% were able to recognize them with the pictures and less than 8% without the pictures. The considered socio-demographic variables were significantly associated with knowledge of the selected land snails. Climate change and human activities (pesticides overuse, edible land snail’s consumption and selling and forest fires) have been mentioned by local population as the fundamental causes involved in land snail’s biodiversity reduction in this region. The number of respondents with positive attitude (62.91%) towards land snail’s biodiversity conservation in Lamto Reserve was significantly higher than the one with negative attitude (37.69%) (P<0.001). Lamto Reserve management staff must increase the consciousness raising campaign in rural communities close to the Reserve in order to reduce the number of people who do not support biodiversity conservation.

“…It is because the enzyme concentration of 2.25% is the optimal and effective concentration for Channa Striata fish seeds. Enzymes function for the complete breakdown of proteinpeptide bonds into more straightforward peptide bonds [14]. Feed provided can be digested by Channa Striata fish more perfectly.…”

This study aimed to measure the optimal concentration of the enzyme papain that can be used in the snail goldfish fermentation to improve the performance of Channa Striata. This research conducted in May to September 2019 In Freshwater Fish Seed Center (BBI) Limbung, Gowa Regency. The feed used is pellet feed made from the gold snail, which segmented with the papain enzyme papaya. This study uses a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of four treatments and three replications, namely: A 1.5%, B 2.25%, C.3% and D. Control (0%). The data obtained were processed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) Duncan. The results showed the feeding of golden snails fermented by the enzyme papain with different concentrations provided (P <0.05) the level of protein digestibility, fiber digestibility, protein retention, feed efficiency, albumin reserves, and calcium growth. However, no significant effect (P> 0.05) on fat retention and Channa Striata fish seed survival. Protein digestibility, fiber digestibility, protein retention, feed use efficiency, albumin content, and balance growth. The highest value at the time of preparation B (2.25%) with the respective values (87.66%), (91.24%), (58.07%) (79.05%), (9.77%), (94gr) while the level of protein digestibility, fiber digestibility, protein retention, feed efficiency, albumin content, and concentration growth. The lowest obtained in treatment D (0%), were (60.09%), (81.72%), (32.56%), (54%), (7.88%) and (89.11gr). Water quality in the maintenance media during the study was 26-290C, pH 7-8, Oxygen 4-6mg / l and ammonia 0.013-0.11 mg / l.
