Pomacea canaliculata, due to its strong adaptability, wide feeding habits, and large appetite, has rapidly spread to farmland, fish ponds, rivers, lakes, wetland parks and other water environments, endangering ecosystem balance, agricultural production, and human health.
The eggs of apple snails are laid on the surface of dry objects or plants above the water surface, such as ditch walls, walls, field ridges, river banks and straw. The first egg mass is bright orange-red, which gradually changes to Barbie pink during hatching. Barbie’s pink egg mass is one of the important signs that we can identify the apple snail.
