Beddomeia hullii
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Beddomeia hullii faces significant threats from habitat degradation due to agricultural runoff and sedimentation in its freshwater spring systems. Water extraction for irrigation and urban development has altered natural flow regimes, while introduced species and pollution from nearby farming activities continue to degrade water quality in its limited range.
Habitat
This freshwater gastropod is endemic to spring-fed streams and seepages in Tasmania's northern regions. It requires clean, cool, well-oxygenated water with stable flow conditions and minimal sedimentation.
