This study was conducted to: (1) determine the effects of stocking density and dietary protein:energy ratio on survival, growth, feed consumption, feed conversion, lipo-somatic index, dress-out percentage, and productive protein value of common snapping turtles; and (2) determine the fatty acid composition of muscle, liver, and fat bodies of wild common snapping turtles and common snapping turtles fed a diet of known fatty acid composition. Hatchling common snapping turtles, Chelydra serpentina, were stocked at five or 10 animals per container (29 and 58 turtles/m$\sp2$, respectively), and fed one of seven prepared diets. Six diets contained 30, 35, or 40% protein at two digestible energy levels (7 or 9 kcal DE/g protein). The seventh was a...
