Zusammenfassung:1. 1. A simple technique was developed for accurately predicting the biomass of the freshwater prosobranch Viviparus contectoides (Mesogastrapoda: Viviparidae) (Binney, 1865). 2. 2. Regression of dry weight (biomass) on wet weight yielded a regression coefficient (r 2) of 0.99 with an associated P < 0.001. 3. 3. Biomass, therefore, can be predicted by measuring wet weights without sacrificing specimens.
