Chinese Mystery Snail – Kingston Lake Association

This summer a snail was turned in to our Lake Host on duty who sent pictures to Amy Smagula in Concord. The following was her response:

Yes, that looks like a Chinese mystery snail. At this time there is no management option available, other than hand picking them out to thin the population. We are not aware of any harmful impacts of these at this time.
