ABSTRACT
Alterations in the shell dimensions of Physa acuta Dra­parnaud, 1805 were studied from May to September in a sinkhole pond with very hard water in Siemianowice-Bytków (Upper Silesia, Southern Poland). This Mediterranean species turned out to be well adapted to the climate of Southern Poland and resistant to industrial water pollution. A biometrical analysis indicated the occurrence of two breeding periods in the studied population.
