Motivation A limited amount of information is available on the feeding behavior of Nassarius kraussianus. Laboratory experiments will be executed to determine the snails feeding rates as well as how certain factors such as temperature‚ food type and light levels affect these rates. The feeding rate and feeding behavior can provide beneficial information for future studies that might inevitably be needed for ecological models or to understand what makes N. kraussianus such a successful species.

The temperature of the Riparian zone affects the physical and the chemical properties of the water and largely influences the organisms affecting their feeding‚ metabolic rates and reproduction. It also affects how much oxygen can be dissolved in the water and how quickly the nutrients will be cycled through the water. Oxygen is better dissolved in cold water because gases are trapped by water molecules at colder temperatures. When temperatures rise‚ the molecules move around more‚ and gases‚ such

trematode parasites in oreochromis niloticus harvested at Ggaba landing site. (fishing communities are faced with a challenge of close proximity with snails especially at a landing site with swampy areas since these are breeding sites for snails basing on parasitology studies trematodes use snails as intermediate hosts in their life cycle fish feed on snails and can also act as accidental hosts henceforth infecting humans) Hypothesis There are no trematodes in fish handled at Ggaba landing site.
