Abstract
Population of Bellamaya bengalensis Lamarck, were exposed to varicus temrera-tures ranging from 0-45 °C with 5 °C interval to observe their survival, growth and reproSuc-tion. Juvenile (one week old) and adult snails (70, weeks old) were kept under ✓servaticn for 24 and 32 weeks. It appeared that for both juvenile and adult snails optimum temperature for survival, growth and reproduction was 25.0±1.0 'C. At this temperature snails also exhibited maximum specific growth rate for length and weight. However, condition factor was pointing to the fact that at this optimum tamperature, weight increase was more pronounced than the length.
