Sinotaia quadrata is a species of a freshwater snail with a gill and an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Viviparidae.
Subspecies
Subspecies within this species include:
- Sinotaia quadrata quadrata
- Sinotaia quadrata histrica (Gould, 1859)[3] or as a separate species Sinotaia histrica[4]
- Viviparus quadratus disparis
- Viviparus quadratus grahami Chen, 1945[5]
Distribution
This species is found in
- Japan
- Northeast Thailand[6]
- China.[7]
- Italy (river Arno)
- Argentina (Central Argentina; non-native)[8]
This species is also known from Upper Pleistocene of China.[1]
Ecology
Habitat
The habitat of Sinotaia quadrata are rivers and lakes.[9]
The pollution tolerance value is 6 (on scale 0–10; 0 is the best water quality, 10 is the worst water quality).[10]
Feeding habits
Sinotaia quadrata feeds on epiphytic algae.[9]
Sinotaia quadrata histrica snails predate also on eggs of bluegill Lepomis macrochirus.[3]
Life cycle
Sinotaia quadrata has strong fecundity.[9]
Parasites
Parasites of Sinotaia quadrata (also of Bellamya quadrata lapillorum (Heude)) include trematode Aspidogaster conchicola.[11]
Human use
Sinotaia quadrata is common animal food used in aquaculture to feed fish black carp[12] in China.[9]
This species is also eaten by humans. In Isan, Thailand they are collected by hand or with a handnet from canals, swamps, ponds and flooded rice paddy fields during the rainy season. During the dry season, snails live under dried mud. Collectors use a spade to scrape the ground to find and catch them. Generally they are collected by both men and women.[6] The snails are then cleaned and cooked in a curry. They are also parboiled in salted water and eat together with green papaya salad.[6]
