Queen conch, Strombus gigas, are overfished throughout Florida and the Caribbean. In an attempt to curtail the depleted wild stocks, queen conch aquaculture has developed through the last 40 years. Whether the goal is to culture queen conch for stock enhancement or commercial purposes, there remain a number of fundamental aquaculture methods to improve upon to enhance the quality of cultured conch and reduce costs. This study aimed to improve survival, growth, shell strength, and culture costs of juvenile quenn conch by manipulating stocking density and tank substrate.
