Relationship with river snail

Snails are monocoque shellfish, which are closely related to snails, so snails are similar to snails in all aspects. Just not all over the world like snails. It is a specialty of our country, only produced in lakes in Yunnan Province, southwest plateau of China.

A snail is shaped like a snail. It also has a right-handed snail shell. But its shell surface is not as smooth as a snail, but has many rotating ribs. Some ribs form spinous processes, while others form beaded processes, and their shapes vary from species to species.

Snails are also hermaphroditic, and they can be distinguished from each other by the shape of tentacles. Reproduction is viviparous, just like snails. Eggs are fertilized and developed in the mother's nursery, and are excreted after growing into larvae. The difference is that snails have dozens of embryos per fetus, while snails generally have only 3-7 embryos per fetus. From this point of view, the reproductive ability of snails is much worse than that of river snails.
