total of 200 spats were submitted to two types of diets. One hundred of them were fed on a mixture of Carica papaya (Caricaceae) leaves, Manihot esculenta cassava while the other 100 were fed on feed concentrate.Every month, 20 snails from each batch are taken to the laboratory and to be observed under electron microscope, the various histological sections made in individuals ootestis underwent disinfection and coloring practices. The objective is to determine the sexual maturity age for Limicolaria flammea histologically.After three months, snails fed on concentrate were able to reach this age, while those fed on mixture of leaves and shell reached sexual maturity from six months of age. Note that this sexual maturity is marked by the presence of spermatozoa in the lumen of tubules and the mature oocytes.
