This study investigated the effects of 0, 5, 10, and 15 ppt salinity levels on the survival and growth of golden apple snails over 8 weeks. Findings suggest potential for brackish water culture and integration with other brackish water species.
This study aimed to investigate the effects of different salinity levels on survival rate and growth performance of golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata). The experiment was conducted at salinity levels of 0, 5, 10, and 15 ppt, with four replicates each, over an 8-week period. The results showed that golden apple snails reared at 5-10 ppt exhibited survival rates and growth performance not significantly different (p>0.05) from those in the freshwater control group (0 ppt). These findings suggest the potential for developing golden apple snail culture in brackish water systems and the possibility of integration with other brackish water species in polyculture systems.
Objective

- To study the effects of different salinity levels (0, 5, 10, and 15 ppt) on the survival rate of golden apple snails.
- To study the effects of different salinity levels on the growth performance of golden apple snails.
- To evaluate the feasibility of rearing golden apple snails in brackish water systems.
