In Kerala till today, nobody has become interested in snail farming even though snail capturing and its utilization as human food, poultry feed and in large scale as supplementary feed for prawn farms are lavishly going on. This over exploitation of Pila for prawn farming as well as reclamation of ponds and paddy field for urbanization has reached an alarming condition. This ecologically and economically important biological resource will become extinct within a very short time, if no steps are taken to establish the commercial farming of these species immediately. Considering the above facts, the present study was marked out to develop strategies on management of the adults in captive condition, natural breeding, maintenance of juveniles in the hatching pond and ranching for ensuring the sustainable natural population and stocking of this by the commercial farming of Pila. The survey score recommended desirable necessary actions to be taken in conservation of this species and should create an awareness on the medicinal properties of Pila. The proximate and mineral composition analysis show the importance of P.scutata, since it has higher nutritional value. The ecologically and economically important biological resource if not protected will become extinct within a very short time, if no steps are taken to establish the commercial farming of this species immediately.
