Most widespread and ecologically important freshwater snail species in India is Bellamya bengalensis. This species serves as food item of some carnivore fishes, many aquatic birds and mammals and also is consumed by people as their daily food. The present work is concentrated on their food, feeding behaviour, fecundity, reproduction, parental care, growth and development as well as symbiotic relationship with a specific kind of algae and population dynamics. The temperature tolerance, pH tolerance and habitat preference of this species are also studied.Keywords
