This species is also known from Upper Pleistocene of China.[1]
Ecology
Habitat
The habitat of Sinotaia quadrata are rivers and lakes.[8]
The pollution tolerance value is 6 (on scale 0–10; 0 is the best water quality, 10 is the worst water quality).[9]
Feeding habits
Sinotaia quadrata feeds on epiphytic algae.[8]
Sinotaia quadrata histrica snails predate also on eggs of bluegill Lepomis macrochirus.[3]
Life cycle
Sinotaia quadrata has strong fecundity.[8]
Human use
Sinotaia quadrata is common animal food used in aquaculture to feed fish black carp[10] in China.[8]
This species is also eaten by humans. In Isan, Thailand they are collected by hand or with a handnet from canals, swamps, ponds and flooded rice paddy fields during the rainy season. During the dry season, snails live under dried mud. Collectors use a spade to scrape the ground to find and catch them. Generally they are collected by both men and women.[6] The snails are then cleaned and cooked in a curry. They are also parboiled in salted water and eat together with green papaya salad.[6]
