Life history and population ecology of Radix swinhoei in Lake Dianchi

Freshwater pulmonate (Radix swinhoei) is widespread and abundant in many eutrophic water bodies in Asia. Here, we conducted a one-year survey of R. swinhoei with monthly collections to measure the life history traits (life span and growth), annual secondary production and population size structure of R. swinhoei in nearshore regions of Lake Dianchi, a typic hypereutrophic plateau lake in Southwest China., ,

淡水肺螺类（Radix swinhoei）广泛分布于亚洲诸多富营养化水体中，种群资源丰富。本研究针对中国西南地区典型超富营养化高原湖泊滇池的近岸区域内的该物种，开展了为期一年的调查，通过每月采样的方式，测定了其生活史特征（寿命与生长）、年次级生产量及种群体型结构。
