Abstract

Bellamya bengalensis is a freshwater edible snail and the largest prosobranch animal. Morphometric analysis with seasonal variation provides morphological, life cycle as also their ecological habitat information. To understand the morphological parameter of Bellamya bengalensis, various morphometric character indices like shell shape, shell colour, shell length, shell width and sample weight were determined from the study area. During seasonal changes, climate, as well as temperature changes, occur, which directly exerted an effect on the Bellamya bengalensis population. During the post-monsoon period, Bellamya bengalensis population remain in aestivation condition due to the hot climate and dryness of summer. At early monsoonal season as well as mid post monsoonal season identified as their breeding seasons, the Young population of Bellamya bengalensis occur at mid-monsoon and late post-monsoon seasons. Adult group entire the population during the early pre-monsoon and early post-monsoon period. Bi-annual breeding occurs in Bellamya bengalensis. Before the breeding time the oldest age group of sample no become decreased.
