Neritona granosa is a species of freshwater snail with an operculum, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Neritidae, the nerites. [2]
Distribution[]
This species of nerite is endemic in Hawaii: Maui.[3]
Ecology[]
Neritina granosa lives in streams. This species has marine larvae that migrate into and up streams after a period of oceanic dispersal. Most likely, the planktonic larvae of this neritid snail disperse across the oceanic expanses that separate the main Hawaiian Islands, and thus it can colonize streams on any or all of these islands.[4]
