Popularmente conhecidas como ampulárias, esses moluscos gastrópodes são usualmente cultivados como organismos ornamentais pelo mundo. A coloração desses animais ornamentais é um dos pontos que atrai os seus admiradores e estimula sua aquisição no mercado. O pigmento mais difundido como suplemento para intensificação de cor em organismos aquáticos é a astaxantina. Ainda não existem rações específicas para a ampulária reforçando a necessidade de testar alternativas de alimentos e suplementos que melhorem o desempenho produtivo e a atratividade do animal. Os objetivos desse estudo foram mensurar a capacidade de acumulação de astaxantina sintética em diferentes níveis de inclusão na dieta de Pomacea diffusa, sua influência na concentração do pigmento e nos índices zootécnicos ao final do cultivo. E em paralelo verificar a influência da mudança da dieta de ração de peixes para ração de camarão na condição corporal dos moluscos em comparação com o início do trabalho. As ampulárias alimentadas com ração comercial extrusada para camarão marinho tiveram baixos índices de conversão alimentar (126,7 ± 18,3), altos índices de eficiência alimentar (126,7 ± 18,3%) e fator de condição (1,0 ± 0,14) acima da média inicial (0,90 ± 0,17), o que demonstra que esse alimento pode ser utilizado para seu cultivo. A suplementação dietética de astaxantina sintética não resulta em aumento significativo da concentração desse pigmento na musculatura desse molusco (P˃0,05). Palavras-chave: Ampulária. Moluscos. Gastrópodes. Pigmentos. Carotenoides. Abstract Known as apple snail, these gastropods are popular as aquarium pets around the world. The bright color of these animals is one of the key points that attract their attention in the ornamental aquaculture, where deep-colored animals are well appreciated. Astaxanthin is the most widespread color enhancing pigment used as a food supplement for aquatic organisms. There is no specific commercial food for apple snails, emphasizing the need to search for food alternatives and supplements that improve their performance and attractiveness. The objectives of this study are to measure the synthetic astaxanthin accumulation capacity of Pomacea diffusa at different levels of diet supplementation, and the effect on pigment concentration and zootechnical indexes at the end of the culture. It was also aimed to verify the effect of the diet change from fish food to extruded shrimp food on the mollusks’ body condition. Apple snails fed with commercial shrimp ration had low feed conversion rates (0.81 ± 0.13), high food efficiency (126.7 ± 18.3%), and condition factor (1.0 ± 0.14) above the initial average (0.90 ± 0.17), demonstrating that this might be an advantageous alternative food. Dietary supplementation with synthetic astaxanthin did not result in a significant concentration increase of this pigment in muscle tissue of these mollusks (P˃0.05). Keywords: Aquaculture. Mollusks. Gastropods. Pigments. Carotenoids

Abstract P. maculata is a freshwater snail native to a wide geographical area in South America from the Rio de la Plata in Argentina and Uruguay to the Amazon in Brazil. It is commonly confused with any number of similar large apple snails, including the well-known invasive golden apple snail Pomacea canaliculata (listed among '100 of the world's worst invasive species'). Both species have been introduced to South-East and East Asia, although for many years they were not distinguished and the Asian introductions were widely identified as "golden apple snails" and the name P. canaliculata was applied to them. Due to the confusion in species identification, the history of introduction of P. maculata remains somewhat uncertain as does its invasiveness and pest potential. Much of the literature is confounded, for example, the snails illustrated by Cowie (2002) as P. canaliculata are in fact P. maculata. The majority of invasive populations in Asia appear to be P. canaliculata, often not mixed with P. maculata (Hayes et al., 2008; Tran et al., 2008) and the pest potential of P. canaliculata in such cases is clear. However, much less has been written about the invasiveness and pest potential of 'P. maculata'.

ABSTRACTThis study aimed to determine the effect of golden apple snail and chicken meat substitution on the organoleptic characteristics and nutritional values of chicken nuggets. This study used a single factor completely randomized design (CRD), with five levels of treatment, namely P0 (0% golden apple snail meat: 50% chicken meat: 50% wheat flour), P1 (45% golden apple snail meat: 5% chicken meat: 50% flour), P2 (40% golden apple snail meat: 10% chicken meat: 50% flour), P3 (35% golden apple snail meat: 15% chicken meat: 50% flour), and P4 (30% golden apple snail meat: 52% chicken meat: 50% flour). Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results show that the substitution treatment of golden apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata l.) and chicken meat had a very significant effect on increasing color, taste, aroma, and texture. The P1 treatment (45% golden apple snail meat; 5% chicken meat and 50% wheat flour) was the most preferred treatment by panelists with preference scores of color, aroma, texture, and taste reached 3.74 (like), 3.93 (like), 3.68 (like), and 3.68 (like), respectively. Meanwhile, the analysis of the nutritional values shows that the selected treatment contained 30.68% water, 2.44% ash, 10.24% fat, 9.04% protein, and 47.6% carbohydrates. Based on the standard of SNI 01-6638-2002, the golden apple snail and chicken meat nuggets met the quality standards on water, ash, and protein contents.Keywords: golden apple snail meat, chicken meat, nuggets.ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh subtitusi keong mas dan daging ayam terhadap karakteristik organoleptik dan nilai gizi pada pembuatan nugget.
