Abstract
Growth and survival of juveniles of Pomacea flagellata feeding with Piper auritum Kunt “momo”, were evaluated under laboratory conditions during 30 days. The culture of juveniles were realized in four aquariums with capacity of 40 liter and a densities of 100 organisms per aquarium. The organisms were fed with momo (Piper auritum Kunt) at 14% of your biomass at 08:00 and 18:00 hrs. Initial shell length of the conchs were 1.2 ± 0.2 mm. Final siphonal length after 30 days of feeding were 3.70 ± 0.5 mm. Average growth rate was 0.13 mm per day. Survival rate was 70 %
