| Impact Description | 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. |
