Because it is a filter-feeding detritivore, banded mysterysnail is a bioindicator of sediment contamination by oil and fertilizer, because growth, survival and histology are significantly affected by ingestion of contaminated sediments

Due to its filter-feeding detritivore nature, the banded mysterysnail (Viviparus georgianus) serves as a bioindicator for the presence of oil and fertilizer in sediment contamination. This is evident as the snail's growth, survival, and histology are noticeably influenced when it consumes contaminated sediments.
