Data from: Evaluation of a snail trap prototype for monitoring the intermediate gastropod hosts of Bolbophorus spp. in commercial catfish ponds of the southeastern United States

<p>This dataset provides information on collection abundances of snails from commercial catfish ponds in the Mississippi Delta Region. Snail trap data were collected from weekly trap (passive) checks and monthly collections (active) from a commercial catfish production facility, Snail species include <em>Planorbella trivolvis, Biomphalaria havanensis</em>, and <em>Physa</em> sp. Data include weekly collections from traps (unknown trapping range) and monthly collections from 1 sq. meter sampling grids.</p>
