What is Off-Season Mortality of Golden Apple Snail about?
This study investigated the natural off-season mortality rates of golden apple snails in relation to their size and sex. The study found that mortality generally increased with snail size, with no consistent trends related to sex. Mortality was higher in plastic trays than netbags, possibly due to lack of aeration. The results provide implications for rice crop management, such as timing of planting to reduce snail damage based on predicted surviving sizes after winter.
