Description
Upper image: Lateral view showing the profile of the shell.
Lower image: Umbilical view; this side is carried uppermost in the living snail.
This species, like all planorbids, has a sinistral shell. The width of the shell is 15 – 20 mm. The keel on the periphery of the shell is near the edge closest to the spire side, which is carried downwards in life.
Ecology
The habitat of this species is shallow standing and slowly running freshwaters on a mud substrate, also ponds and temporarily drying flood waters, up to 1 metre depth. Planorbis planorbis does not tolerate intensive water movements but is tolerant to eutrophic conditions.
