In regions of Africa where C. aspersum is not native, it may also have been introduced for human consumption, e.g. A soft, slimy bodied gastropod class of mollusc, with a whorled hollowed shell, carried on its back which it uses to protect itself. Environmental Science & Technology, 34(9):1865-1870. Rebolledo R R, Tapia P, Leonelli L L, 1992. In Australia, a significant increase in the level of snail (C. aspersum and Theba pisana) contamination in dried grapes has been observed since the late 1980s, leading to penalties imposed on growers delivering contaminated products.

Egg cannibalism by hatchlings is frequent: 70% of new-born snails, which remain in the soil cavity for several days, ingested one sibling egg during their first 4 days of life, facilitated by high hatching asynchrony within the clutch (Elmslie, 1988). Genetics of shell ground colour in Helix aspersa I. Colour locus, uniform and their interactions. The forms aspersa and maxima are the two forms that are commonly reared.

There are three major classes of compounds present in molluscicides: metaldehyde (induces desiccation and loss of locomotor activity), carbamates (causes paralysis and loss of muscle tone), and metal chelates such as iron EDTA (interacts with oxygen uptake and triggers arrest of feeding) (Barker and Watts, 2002).

Cessation of activity is influenced by photoperiod, temperature and humidity, the relative importance of which depends on latitude and local conditions (Jeppesen and Nygard, 1976; Jeppesen, 1977; Bailey, 1981; Bailey and Lazaridou-Dimitriadou, 1986; Lazaridou-Dimitriadou and Saunders, 1986; Aupinel, 1987). Fruits with snail damage (up to 35% of kiwifruit harvested) prior to harvest have significantly more Botrytis cinerea grey mould than fruits without damage (Michailides and Elmer, 2000). Heliciculture, as with other mini-livestock production efforts, represents a new branch of sustainable animal production promoted by the Bureau for Exchange and Distribution of Information on Mini-livestock (BEDIM) in Belgium under the auspices of the European Union and FAO (Hardouin and Thys, 1997).

Under favorable conditions Cornu aspersum may mature within a year and adults can normally live about a year. Thin copper sheets can also be wrapped around tree trunks to prevent snails from climbing into the canopy (Davis et al., 2004; Dreistadt et al., 2004). DanBIF, 2009. From a conservation perspective, snail farming should be encouraged to prevent overexploitation of wild populations in the native range, and from the perspective of the growing human population, development of such alternatives to traditional agricultural products should be encouraged.

These efforts were largely unsuccessful, although one staphylinid beetle (Staphylinus (Ocypus) olens) showed potential; however, the use of this species as a biological control in orchards has not been actively pursued (Sakovich, 2002).
