periwinkles belong to a group called gastropods...
Almost all marine gastropods breathe with a gill, but many freshwater species, and the majority of terrestrial species, have a pallial lung. The respiratory protein in almost all gastropods is a hemocyanin but a pulmonate family planorbidae have hemglobin as respiratory protein.
