Abstract: Golden apple snail, Pomacea canaliculata L., is a cosmopolitan harmful alien invasive species listed by the World Conservation Union. It was introduced to China more than 30 years ago and has been widely distributed in southern China, and caused incalculable economic losses and ecological harms. In order to effectively control the snails in environmentfriendly ways, natural enemy resources of golden apple snails were summarized in this paper. Eight categories of the natural enemies were grouped into Gastropoda, Clitellata, Insecta, Malacostraca, Actinopterygii, Reptilia, Aves, and Mammalia. Meanwhile, the existing problems in biological control of the snails were also pointed out from the aspects of introduction, development and application of natural enemies and the defense strategies of P. canaliculata to its enemies. Finally, some perspectives on future research in the selection of natural enemies of P. canaliculata were put forward, including origin and parasite natural enemies, microbes, biocontrol plants, local economic animals, with an attempt to provide references for biological controlling of P. canaliculata by using the abundant biological resources in China.
