Abstract

Altogether 18 species of invertebrates were evidented during investigations on snail farms of Helix pomatia Linnaeus and Helix aspersa O. F. M?ller in Serbia and Montenegro. Of these, 9 species from 8 genera were registered from Serbia, and 9 species from 9 genera were collected from Montenegro. Invertebrate material mostly pertained to insects (orders Coleoptera and Heteroptera) and crustaceans (order Isopoda). Data about exact ecological status of all species of collected invertebrates were also presented. Also we notify clear distinctions between all analyzed species in the type of feeding (the cases of helicophagy, zoophagy, phytophagy, and mixophagy).
