Anybody have any experience with these as an invasive species?
It seems one of my idiot neighbors thought it would be a good idea to release 100 of them into our neighborhood pond.

Recent research reveals the catastrophic nature of the Pomacea invasion in new habitats: the snail herbivory drastically alters the state and function of invaded natural wetlands. When the plants are consumed, nutrients in the system are shunted to phytoplankton instead of the plants which creates dense algal blooms (Carlsson et al in press. 2004).

Oh shite......an extremely bad move. Not sure if they have archives or not, but WWL did a series on stories on them a couple years ago discussing just how bad and destructive they could be. As a public service you may want to contact LDWF.
