Each experiment was repeated six times and the values of fecundity, hatchability, and survival were the mean of six replicates. Values in parenthesis indicate the days. Significant () difference was noted when Student’s -test was applied to treated and control groups.
+Product moment correlation coefficient showed that there was significant () negative correlation in between exposure period and fecundity of L. acuminata snail.
