| Potoamopyrgus antipodarum (New Zealand Mud Snail) is less preferred than the native Bithynia antipodarum (Faucet Snail) for Tench (Tinca tinca), a common fish in the Baltic Sea in Lithuania. The New Zealedn Mud Snail has a similar shelll-strength, but less soft-tissue than the Faucet Snail (Butkus and Višinskien? 2020).. | ||
