- The study aimed to assess how water storage and aquaculture projects impact the control of Oncomelania hupensis snails in the tidal flats wetlands of the lower Yangtze River.
- After a year of implementing seven projects, all snails were eliminated, yielding significant cost savings (approximately 69.20 thousand yuan annually) and high net benefits for specific projects.
- While the projects effectively reduced snail populations and provided economic advantages, considerations for wetland ecological protection and flood control are essential.
