난태생종인 다슬기(Semisulcospira libertina libertina)와 곳체다슬기(Semisulcospira gottchei) 어미에게 여러 가지 물리 화학적 자극을 주어 출산 개시 소요 시간, 출산 유생 치패수 및 치패 출산율을 조사하였다. 곳체다슬기는 온도, 공기 노출, serotonin 및 acetylcholine 자극에 대하여 다슬기보다 더욱 민감하게 반응하였으나, 및 자극에 대하여는 두 종 모두 반응하지 않았다. 다슬기는 acety The effects of various physicochemical stimuli in parturition induction were assayed on ovoviviparous freshwater melania snails, Semisulcospira libertina libertina and S. gottschei. Both of them did not respond to and , but showed responses to the water temperature raising, serotonin and acetylcholine. S. gottschei showed stronger responses to the stimulants in parturition induction compared with S. libertina libertina. In case of S. libertina libertina exposed to acetylcholine, the number of newly born larvae and juveniles per adult and juvenile parturition rate were 68 individuals and 57.5%, which were the most among experimental groups, respectively. In the parturition induction with temperature raising of , S. gottschei bred 113 larvae and juveniles in which juvenile parturition rate was 56.3% and acetylcholine also induced very high juvenile parturition rate(61.7%) and 83 larvae and juveniles. It could be concluded that the treatment of acetylcholine has a high effectiveness in the parturition induction of S. libertina libertina and S. gottschei.
