Asolene platae is a species of freshwater snail in the family Ampullariidae, first described by William George Maton in 1811. [1]
The species is native to the Río de la Plata basin. [2] They are also found in the pet trade where they are often sold under the name zebra apple snails. [3]

Ampullariidae, commonly known as the Mystery snails, is a family of large freshwater snails, aquatic gastropod mollusks with a gill and an operculum. These snails simultaneously have a gill and a lung as functional respiratory structures, which are separated by a division of the mantle cavity. This adaptation allows these animals to be amphibious. Species in this family are considered gonochoristic, meaning that each individual organism is either male or female.
Caenogastropoda is a taxonomic subclass of molluscs in the class Gastropoda. It is a large diverse group which are mostly sea snails and other marine gastropod mollusks, but also includes some freshwater snails and some land snails. The subclass is the most diverse and ecologically successful of the gastropods.
Pomacea canaliculata, commonly known as the golden apple snail or the channeled apple snail, is a species of large freshwater snail with gills and an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusc in the family Ampullariidae, the apple snails. South American in origin, this species is considered to be in the top 100 of the "World's Worst Invasive Alien Species". It is also ranked as the 40th worst alien species in Europe and the worst alien species of gastropod in Europe.

The perivitellinefluid is an extracellular fluid found in the eggs of most gastropods and constitutes the main source of nutrition and defense for their embryos. It replaces the egg yolk of other animals, which in snail eggs is reduced to non-nutritive proteinaceous granules with putative enzymatic function.
Pomacea columellaris is a South American species of freshwater snail in the apple snail family, Ampullariidae.
Pomacea fasciata is a freshwater snail in the Ampullariidae family. It is located in Jamaica, Guadeloupe, and Hispaniola. It lays white eggs.
