Lymnaea Stagnalis Reproduction Test

Lymnaea stagnalis, commonly referred to as the great pond snail, is a freshwater mollusk commonly found in Europe and other parts of the world. It is widely used in aquatic ecotoxicology studies to evaluate the reproductive effects of pollutants and toxic substances. The L. stagnalis reproduction test is to assess the effects of long-term exposure to chemicals on the reproduction and survival of the hermaphroditic freshwater snail L. stagnalis (large pond snail). Reproductive adults of L. stagnalis are exposed to a range of concentrations of the test chemicals and monitored for 28 days for survival and reproduction (number of eggs laid).

CD BioSciences offers comprehensive L. stagnalis reproduction test services that aim to determine the potential impact of chemicals and other substances on the reproduction of this species. We have a team of highly skilled and experienced scientists who use advanced, state-of-the-art equipment to deliver reliable and regulatory-compliant L. stagnalis reproduction test data.

• L. stagnalis culture
• Data analysis

Test Organism

L. stagnalis is a very common freshwater snail found in the northern hemisphere. Hermaphrodites can self-fertilize, but cross-fertilization is common.

Endpoints of L. stagnalis Reproduction Test

• The primary endpoint is the cumulative number of eggs laid per snail during the 28-day exposure period.
• Snail growth and the number of eggs laid per snail can be used as additional testing endpoints.
• Toxic effects of test chemicals are expressed as X percent effect concentrations (ECx).
• Alternatively, the toxic effect of a test chemical can be expressed as a NOEC and a LOEC.
