The feasibility of a captive breeding program was examined for the protected fisheries species Strombus gigas (queen conch) and three nonprotected Caribbean Strombus conch species: S. raninus (hawk-wing conch), S. alatus (Florida fighting conch), and S. costatus (milk conch). A total of 24 adult conch were collected from the Florida Keys: five S. costatus (three females, two males), seven S. raninus (five females, two males), eight S. alatus (four females, four males), and four S. gigas (one female, three males).
