1, living environment, fingered citron snail is a creature on the coastal island reef, living in salt water, while Ampullaria gigas is an exotic species, living on the edge of fresh water fields.
2, the appearance difference, the shape of bergamot snail is also very different from that of pomacea canaliculata. The shape of the bergamot snail is quite strange, and it can even be said that it is "ugly" like a green "dog claw", so it is also called "dog claw snail". As mentioned above, Ampullaria canaliculata is an exotic species, and its appearance is similar to that of edible snails with low pathogenicity or no pathogenic parasites, but there are also some differences (the snail shell is hard, the shape of the vertebral tail is sharp, the color is blue-brown or dark-brown, the worm body outlet is relatively small, and the general individual is relatively small. The snail shell is thin and soft, the vertebral tail is short, the overall shape is "round", the color is mostly yellow or yellowish brown, the body outlet is large, and the individual is large. It is said that the largest individual can reach 250g).
3, living habits, it is said that bergamot snails live on the island reef by the sea, they live in the cracks of stones that are not exposed to the sun, and they are in groups, and because the cluster is shaped like the five elements of the Buddha's ridge, it has the reputation of "bergamot snails". Ampullaria canaliculata generally lives in fresh water with sufficient bait, but most of them live in shallow water near the pool (non-gregarious creatures), or adsorb on the stems and leaves of aquatic plants, or float on the water surface, and can survive out of the water for a short time.
The above is my proof to explain the difference between bergamot snail and Ampullaria gigantea. Welcome to correct me, thank you!
Finally, as for whether I can eat it, I dare not say whether there are deadly parasites in the Buddha's hand, but at least since I found out that I ate it, there have been no cases of illness. The snail, snail, it is said that the meat tastes bad, but the meat itself is edible, but it is easy to carry a variety of pathogenic parasites (such as Angiostrongylus cantonensis, etc.). ) In its body, it will do harm to people's health. Therefore, the country has banned feeding, and it is recommended not to eat it. Of course, it is ok to eat if necessary. Thoroughly cooked! ! Thoroughly cooked! ! ! Of course, other snails or snails that may carry parasites should also be "thoroughly cooked"!
