Abstract
Physids belong to Class Gastropoda; Phylum Mollusca have important position in food web and act as bio indicators, pests and intermediate host. Being resistant these are called cockroaches of malacology. Physid snails were collected from different water bodies of Faisalabad (Punjab) and were identified up to species using morphological markers. The morphometry of the specimens was carried out with the help of a digital Vernier caliper in millimeters (mm) using linear measurement of shell characters. Linear regression analysis of the AL/SW ratio vs AL and SL/SW ratio vs AL indicated that allometric growth exists only in Physa acuta when compared with P.gyrina and P. fontinalis. This study will lead to assess the status of the Physid species in Central Punjab. The Principal component analysis shows that the Component 1 (Shell Length) and component 2 (Shell Width) are the most prolific components and nearly 80 percent of the identification. The distance between P. acuta and P. fontinalis is 5.4699, P. acuta and P. gyrina is 7.6411, P. fontinalis and P. gyrina is 16.6080 showing that P. acuta resembles with P. fontinalis, and both these specimens donot resemble with P. gyrina. P.acuta is an invasive species and shows bioactivity making it a potent candidate for bioactive substances.

Os fisidos pertencem a classe Gastropoda; o filo Mollusca possui importante posicao na teia alimentar e atua como bioindicador, praga e hospedeiro intermediario. Por serem resistentes, sao chamadas baratas de malacologia. Os caramujos fisidos foram coletados em diferentes corpos d'agua de Faisalabad (Punjab) e identificados ate as especies por meio de marcadores morfologicos. A morfometria dos corpos de prova foi realizada com auxilio de paquimetro digital Vernier em milimetros (mm) por meio de medida linear dos caracteres da casca. A analise de regressao linear da razao AL / SW vs. AL e razao SL / SW vs. AL indicou que o crescimento alometrico existe apenas em Physa acuta quando comparado com P. gyrina e P. fontinalis. Este estudo levara a avaliar a situacao das especies de fisido no Punjab Central. A analise do componente principal mostra que o componente 1 (comprimento da casca) e o componente 2 (largura da casca) sao os componentes mais prolificos e quase 80% da identificacao. A distancia entre P. acuta e P. fontinalis e 5,4699, P. acuta e P. gyrina e 7,6411, P. fontinalis e P. gyrina e 16,6080, mostrando que P. acuta se assemelha a P. fontinalis, e ambos os especimes nao se parecem com P. gyrina. P. acuta e uma especie invasora e apresenta bioatividade, tornando-se uma candidata potente para substancias bioativas.

1. Introduction In Physa snails simple linear measurements of the shell are quite useful for the characterization of the species and can be analyzed using Principal Component Analysis and Discriminant [...]
