1 Control Methods & Status of Non-native Apple Snails in Threemile Creek, Alabama Dave Armstrong, Tommy Purcell, Ben Ricks District V Fisheries Section Alabama Division of Wildlife & Freshwater Fisheries Spanish Fort, AL (251) dave.armstrong@dcnr.alabama.gov Andy Ford Fisheries Biologist USFWS Ecological Services Field Office Daphne, AL (251)
2 Apple Snails in Threemile Creek, Mobile County, AL
3 Apple Snail, Pomacea maculata Reported & documented in Langan Municipal Lake, June Incidental report 2004 cursory search found none. Likely released by aquarium (pet trade). Exotic, non-native aquatic nuisance species (ANS) native to S. America.
4 Snail Biology Fecund - Snails mature within growing season; females lay multiple egg on aerial plant stems. Each contain 100 s s of eggs/mass annually. Burrow into mud during winter or when conditions are poor. Snails have gills & siphon to breathe. Voracious feeders of vegetation (Likely compete w native snails, other wildlife). Few native predators
5 Snail egg mass on Giant cutgrass (accounts ~ 80 90% egg substrate)
6 Why are Applesnails an Issue? Destoyers of wetland habitats, snails consume native aquatic plants driving systems toward algae-based production. Displace native aquatic life through competition for food, space, and habitat. Destroyer of agricultural crops (e.g., rice) esp. in Southern U.S., Phillipines, SE Asia. Disease vector, potential carrier of: rat ringworm, intestinal fluke, rat lungworm, Schistosomiasis (2 nd most common tropical disease behind malaria in 70 countries)
7 Egg masses concrete wall LMP
8 Population Control Approach Direct Control adults: Apply EPA-approved molluscicide - copper carbonate; copper sulfate. Indirect Control - Reduce egg (substrate) habitat: Apply EPA-approved herbicides to emergent aquatic plants. Maintain low water levels in Langan Lake. Scraping of egg masses, collect/trap adults. Stock Redear sunfish (N=1,222,852; 2867 lbs) to reduce snail hatchling recruitment.
9 Prep for copper application - BFP
10 Scraping egg masses - LMP
11 Infestation Locations- SW AL Threemile Creek (TMC) watershed from upper pool Langan Municipal Lake (LMP) downstream through approx 8 step pools to tidal portion of Creek empties directly into Mobile River! Blakeley Forest Pond (BFP) in Bay Minette Creek, a major watershed in Mobile-Tensaw delta system. Private Stock pond Coffee County.
12 Upper Threemile Creek (1 of 8 Step Pools, Elev. ~ 60 )
13 Infested Site Attributes LMP = 40-acres in 2-level pools (147 acre-feet) TMC: From LMP Dam to McClean Park Dam 4.29 miles stream 161 surface acres (59.3 acre-feet) 8 step pools urban/industrialized channels Elevation drop approx 70 feet TMC Tidal 4.67 miles to mouth at Mobile R. 171 surface acres (366 acre-feet to I-165) BFP = 3.0-acres (29.4 acre-feet)

22 Post-spray of emergent weeds ( Giant cutgrass = Native plant )
23 Emergent Weed Treatments, BFP NO treatments. Residents instructed how to mow, remove brush weed growth at bank edge without chemical use. LMP 7 emergent weed applications, May - Sep TMC - 22 emergent weed applications May - Oct, TOTAL = 3201 Gals emergent herbicide mix
24 Snail Trapping Assessing Population Abundance
25 TRAP DATA, Apple snail trap sample data at Langan Lake, and tidal Threemile Creek (2013 & 2014 only) by staff from ADWFF, USFWS, & USA. Weeks (Period) Trap Siting N Traps Days TOTAL N Snails Trap Catch Year Collected Method / Week Trapped Trap Days Collected Rate (S/T/D) weeks (Sep Dec) Random weeks (Jan Dec) Random weeks (Mar Nov) Random weeks (Jul Sep) Random weeks (Jul Oct) Fixed weeks (May Nov) Fixed S/T/D = Snails per Trap Day (i.e., Snails per 24 hour period).
26 Results to date - Repeated treatments, emergent plant control, and other methods appear to have substantially reduced snail abundance from since Fall, 2009 based on trap data.
27 Snail Work through 2015 Partnerships forged between ADCNR, USFWS, City of Mobile, various NGO s, EMS have helped to fund work and/or provide manpower to continue the work as mentioned above. Current funding by CIAP ends December 2015!
