Abstract
Tetra Kin Baby Fish Food ‘E’ for Egglayers (Tetra ‘E’) was evaluated as a possible nutrient for the laboratory culture and maintenance of pigmented and unpigmented Biomphalaria glabrata (Say). Growth was monitored weekly by determining shell diameter and mass. The results showed that Tetra ‘E’ is an excellent nutrient with regard to growth and reproduction in B. glabrata.Keywords
