Abstract: : This study explores the intricate relationships between the freshwater snail Bellamya bengalensis (Lamarck, 1822) and the diverse aquatic flora and fauna within Sawanga Lake. B. bengalensis is gastropod of ethnomedicinal importance and high nutritional value. Through comprehensive field surveys and laboratory analyses, we identified a rich array of plant and animal species coexisting with this snail. Our findings reveal the symbiotic and sometimes competitive interactions that define this unique aquatic community. Flora and Fauna identified includes seventeen species each, ensuring the sustainability of this vibrant aquatic ecosystem. This is the first report on snail biodiversity study of Sawanga Lake, which highlighted its importance.
