Overview of captive kept and bred mollusc species

[LARTIS]

Inspired by the great work of north american charts of species kept and bred

Since zootierliste sadly does not have any overview of invertebrates I wanted to ask what mollusc species both terrestrial and aquatic freshwater marine and brackish water.
Also in private collections, to gain an insight of what species could also

Also species in private trade that might due to the availability soon join the public presentations.

Entries for institutions from around the world are welcome since the zootierliste becamw more ans more globaly international any way, and once again enable us to gain an insight to what species we might get imported to our different areas.

No species is too small.

Woulld love to be able to also look up what place one can visit to see certain species.

To keep the thread easier to read i split the different invertebrate groups into different threads.

Is it possible to edit the thread title, I came to the realization that it would be better to split the thread into different threads.

Instead of mollusc this should be gastropods.

I am sorry, for the inconvinience.

They were never on exhibit but the Detroit Zoo saved the Polynesian tree snail from extinction

Bristol maintains sveral species of Partula snails and has recently bred 2 species of tiny land snail from Desertas Island (near Madeira)

If you include aquariums, the list of molluscs kept will be VERY long. Especially gastropods are a valuable addition to any naturally scaped Aquarium. But that's also the issue when you ask for captive breeding. We often just don't know. I've introduced animals with a reported maximum longevity of 6 years and found some 9 years later. Is the reported longevity wrong? Did they breed? Who knows...
Species in the commercial trade are often not identified to species level, so that's an additional issue.

I think the international Partula breeding program now includes 11 species out of which two have different subspecies. Almost twenty zoos are part of the program. There have even been reintroductions, which sadly came to a stop due to the pandemic.
