The low solubility of aluminium (Al) at neutral pH means that it largely exists as colloidal particulates in aquatic systems. However, the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis accumulates significant amounts of Al following exposure to water containing added Al at pH 7. This is accompanied by depression of behavioural activity (locomotion, feeding) which subsequently recovers, suggesting tolerance to the metal.
