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（Isan）[6]
  • China.[7]
  • Italy (river Arno; non-native)
  • 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]
