Physella acuta (Draparnaud, 1805) Common name. European physa, Left-handed pondsnail, Acute baldder snail, Ashy physa, Lateritic physa, Pewter physa, Tadpole snail, Pewter physa. Description. The European physa has a sinistral Sinistral: Having the opening of the shell on the left side when the observer hold the shell so that the apex is Test animal. Physa acuta was collected from the Campaspe River, at the Kyneton-Heathcote Road. (37°23′ S 144°31′ E) (see Zalizniak et al. 2006).This snail was chosen because the sub-lethal effects of salinity on this species have been investigated (Kefford and Nugegoda 2005).Furthermore, this species is easy to collect in large numbers as well as to maintain in the laboratory. Placement in the genus Physella follows Gates et al. (2013) (FMCS 2021). This species was previously named a junior synonym of P. acuta based on shell characteristics from the holotype and paratypes as well as soft tissue and shell characteristic comparisons with Physidae museum specimens (Rogers and Wethington 2007).
