Impact Description | Philippine rice farmers claim that the edible
native snail, Pila luzonica, has decreased drastically since the introduction of Pomacea canaliculata. Competition for resources with Pomacea canaliculata may have resulted in population decline. Not only rice but also other vegetation generally considered as weeds, as well as azolla, taro, and lotus, are attacked. |
