Description

Rearing of the land snails Placostylus ambagiosus paraspiritus, P. a. michiei, and P. hongii in captivity was investigated as a conservation management option for establishing new populations of these threatened animals. Snails were kept in the laboratory with mostly karaka, Corynocarpus laevigatus, leaves as food. Snails were exposed to differing frequencies of handling, crowding conditions, and given different substrates in which to lay eggs. Less frequent disturbance resulted in better survival in P. ambagiosus. Both P. ambagiosus and P. hongii laid clutches of 1-84 similarly sized eggs buried up to 2 cm deep, but the species appeared to have different substrate size preferences. Placostylus ambagiosus kept singly or in pairs grew larger than those in the wild. Crowding reduced growth rate, increased mortality, and resulted in smaller adults. Captive-bred adult P. ambagiosus lived for 3.3-11.4 y: one adult P. hongii lived for 2.6 y and another lived for 4.6 y before being translocated onto an island. Both Placostylus ambagiosus and P. hongii can be successfully reared in captivity, in the laboratory, and large numbers of snails can potentially be produced, albeit with substantial costs. Although potentially risky for augmenting existing populations, these protocols may enable the establishment of new populations of these snails.
