Abstract

The rice field conch (Pila ampullacea) is a mollusca that is widely used as a food source and livestock feed.   P. ampullacea is a pest for paddies but the aim of this research is to determine the morphology of P.ampullacea form field rice at Pontianak City. Random sampling was carried out in the field, with 30 samples taken from each location for morphological measurements. Descriptive analysis by calculating the body condition index (BCI) value. The highest body condition index is found in Eastern Pontianak 0,08 g/mm while the lowest is found in North Pontianak 0,04 g/mm. The three research sites did not have significantly different condition index values, so they could not meet BCI standards (ideal). Factor that can affect the low BCI value P. ampullacea can be attributed to habitat conditions, where there are pollutant substances found in the Pontianak city area. In addition to the presence of pollution factors may also be influenced by internal factors such ad genetic, age and gender that also affect growth P. ampullacea.
