The use of trashfish as food to Babylon snails in grow out farming has recently caused challenges in environment and disease outbreak in Vietnam. This paper is to present the growth, survival, FCR and shell apperance of the stocked snails at size of 0.27 g individual-1 fed formulated diet at a daily feeding rate of 0.8 - 1.2% body weight in recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) and ponds. In RAS tanks of 25 m2, the snails reached to a size of 7.1 ± 0.05 g individual-1, survival of 87.3 ± 1.68% and FCR of 0.77 ± 0.01 after six months. Meanwhile in ponds of 1500 m2, they reached to a size of 7.21 ± 0.09 g individual-1, survival of 80.53 ± 4.04% and FCR of 0.81 ± 0.01. The significant difference was observed in the survival (p < 0.05) and FCR (p < 0.01) but not in the growth (p > 0.05). The presence of unexpected predatory crabs possibly caused the lower survival and higher FCR in the ponds. For the steamed harvested product, the snail flesh body looked quite similar while their shells showed pale brown in the tanks compared to the common ones in the ponds. This possibly related to the low pH and alkalinity in RAS tanks. The snail growth in this study was roughly similar while their survival was better than those in trashfish based culture previously reported. The growth and survival indicate a high potential to replace trashfish by formulated diet in farming of Babylon snails.
