Abstract

From March 2022 to January 2023, study on the diversity of freshwater gastropods in their natural environment were done at the University Putra Malaysia Bintulu Campus (UPMKB) at Bintulu and Sg,Tuah, Kanowit at Sibu. This study aims to determine the morphological variations between freshwater gastropod species through morphometric and geomorphometric and to study distribution pattern of freshwater gastropod in natural environment. In this study, 3 stations were chosen, and their coordinates was recorded at each station. The specimen will be identified based on the form and characteristics of the gastropod shell. The distribution of pattern and morphological variation measure through morphological descriptions, shell morphometric analysis and geomorphometric analysis. A total 120 individuals of freshwater gastropod have been recorded from three station. Seven species belong to three family such as Pachychilidae, Nassariidae and Ampullariidae was recorded. Based on result, 12 characteristics showed significantly different levels (p<0.05) which were AL (0.001), WH3 (0.001), WH4 (0.001), WH5 (0.001), AW (0.001), WW7 (0.001), WW8 (0.001), BWW (0.001), AINL (0.001), LPM (0.011), LPU and AWW (0.001). Species of Sulcospira sp. and Sulcospira collyra having the same character of shell.
