Observations on the association of scaphula deltae blanford (Mollusca: Bivalvia) in garanga wetland of pobitora wildlife sanctuary, Assam, India

Abstract

During a survey of the Garanga wetland of Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary, Scaphula deltae Blanford (Mollusca: Bivalvia) was recorded for the first time. Most examples were found over Lamellidens corrianus (Lea) in a firmly attested position. Some were also found clinging to the roots of Eichhornia crassipes. These findings establish a new record of freshwater mollusc association in the study area. Some of the physico-chemical parameters of the study area were also investigated.
