5.0 CONCLUSION
This study concludes that the environmental conditions coupled with anthropogenic activities in the dam supports the existence of ten species of freshwater snails with varied abundance and distribution over time across the four sampling sites. The most dominant species wasM. turbaculata followed by B. unicolar then C. bulimuides with B. teniussumus and B. globosus having the least distribution and abundance. M. tuberculata seemed to have out competed all the other species especially those that are of veterinary and medical importance. In this study, four species encountered;B. globosus, M. tuberculata, B. teniussumus and L. natalensis are known to be of medical and veterinary importance.
