The objective of the work was to study behavioural change of Cyclope neritea (sea snail) and Nassarius mutabilis (land snail) upon exposure to different levels of PAHs. Snail’s behaviour was translated and expressed in Behavioural State Score (BSS) where the score ranged from “0” to “5” points refers to the ascending level of locomotion of a snail. A significant difference was found in snail’s behaviour in 25.0 mg/L than in 0.5 mg/L with p value smaller than 0.01. BSS scores appear most…

BEHAVIOURAL CHANGES IN FRESHWATER SNAIL BELLAMYA BENGALENSIS DUE TO ACUTE TOXICITY OF COPPER SULPHATE AND ACACIA SINUATA
- Biology, Environmental Science
- 2014
The toxicity of copper sulphate and A. sinuata was responsible for the behavioural changes in freshwater snail B. bengalensis, and it was concluded that any toxicants or any molluscicide wereresponsible for the alterations in behavioural of animal body.

Effect of aluminum and silicic acid on the behaviour of the freshwater snail Lymnaea stagnalis
- Materials Science
- 2000
Snails exposed to all three Al compounds showed depression of behavioural activity after 7 days; this effect was ameliorated in the presence of higher but not lower concentrations of Si, presumably owing to polymerisation as the colloidal hydroxide.

It is shown that B(k)F induces oxidative stress in snails which further lead to genotoxic damage in gastropod Morula granulata exposed in vivo for 96 h.

A correlation between BT and substrate temperature (ST) was detected from field observations which suggests a possible causal relationship between both substrate and BTs and supports the crucial need to integrate intertidal invertebrate behavioral responses to thermal constraints in climate change studies.
