Synopsis (short abstract) The Marine Resources Division of the Federated States of Micronesia held a workshop on aquaculture planning for the nation, attended by 24 experts from across the Pacific, at Kosrae in April 1986. Several species of marine organisms were identified as targets for aquaculture development in the FSM, including trochus and green snail ranching (Gawel, 1986). In addition, introduction of green snail was proposed in a recent report to assess aquaculture potential for Micronesia (Croft, 1987). The M arine Resources Division of the FSM envisaged transplantation of green snail to enhance their inshore resources, and the Chief of the Division Mr. Mike Gawel requested the South Pacific Aquaculture Developement Project (SPADP), Fiji, for implementation of a feasibility study. During the South Pacific Commission Workshop on Inshore Fisheries Resources Management, held at Noumea in March 1988, Mr. Gawel, Mr. Hideyuki Tanaka of SPADP and one of us (MY) met and discussed this study. It was agreed that a field study would be financed by SPADP, and conducted by the senior author in association with Mr. Ken-Ichi Kikutani of Tokunoshima Fisheries Cooperative, who was an experienced green snail diver fisherman, and that the Marine Resources Division would provide logistics and field assistance.
