Venkataswamy naidu c ollege, Kovilpatti, India ABSTRACT ARTICLE HISTORY Received 14 June 2017 A feeding experiment of three dietary protein levels (30, 35 and 40%) with three replicates was a ccepted 25 July 2017 conducted to determine the proper protein level for the growth and survival of the Babylonia spirata under laboratory conditions. Snail with initial body weight ranged from 50.95 ± 0.33 g to KEYWORDS 51.05 ± 0.21 g and initial length ranged from 5.96 ± 0.62 cm to 6.91 ± 0.70 cm were fed as the Formulated diet; growth; experimental diet for 3 months. Mean weight gain, survival rate and biochemical parameters of biochemical parameters; snail fed the 40% protein diets was significantly (p < 0.05) different from that snail fed the 30 and Babylonia spirata 35% protein diets. The results of the study indicate that a diet containing 40% dietary protein was recommended for snail growth under our laboratory conditions. 1. Introduction farming have made a significant contribution to their production in a Th iland (Chaitanawisuti, Rodruang, & Since ancient times, the finfish and shellfish have been Piyatiratitivorakul, 2010). By adaptation, this strategy in noted as the rich protein source for mankind, all over the Babylonia areolata may have been observed to increase world. Besides, proteins source they also delivers various within growth high protein content of 27 and 45%. minerals and vitamins, with its own characteristic taste. e a Th rtificial feed formulation and preparation can be Moreover, fish meat seems to contain significantly low done with optimal nutrition for Babylonia spirata at the lipids and higher water content than beef or chicken, it lowest possible cost. The diet development is involved has been favoured over other white or red meats (Nestel, in certain factors, such as the cost of ingredients, pel- 2000). Malnutrition is considered as a serious problem let ability and diet acceptability, water stability of the and is being faced by many developing countries. In feed and handling requirements (Chaitanawisuti et al., India, 20–30% of the population does not get adequate 2010). In recent days, the increasing demand of the meat, nutrition. This problem could be easily solved by effec- operculum and shells of the gastropod have led to the tive utilization of nutrient-rich molluscs. This means that development of active fishery in different parts of India the proper exploitation of capture fishery and culture (Periyasamy, Srinivasan, Devanathan, & Balakrishnan, s fi hery would surely supply the balanced nutritious food 2011). The heavy fishing may result in the depletion and thereby, it controls the malnutrition problem. of natural stocks to a large extent.

A few nutritional assurance for millions of malnourished studies have only been conducted in the commercially peoples. The gastropod meat has been considered to be important gastropods. However, information on the free of cholesterol but contains high nutritive substances gastropod species of commercial (ornamental) interest (Abdullah, Nurjanah, Hidayat, & Gifari, 2016). from the Indian coast remains scarce.
