种鳖指作为繁殖用的鳖。在自然条件下,因气候的影响,天敌危害,鳖不但生长发育缓慢,而且成活率低,加上多年来滥捕滥捉,野生资源几乎频临灭绝。因此,采用人工方法强化对种鳖的培育,是解决鳖种来源,发展养鳖生产的主要关键。种鳖的选择应注意以下几个问题。 1.年龄:江苏地区一般3龄以上即0.25公斤以上的雌雄鳖就有交配行为,性腺发育基本成熟。而在台湾南部、海南岛等地只需2～3龄;华北地区则需6年以上。本人认为,适合做种鳖的鳖龄应该雌鳖性成熟 The kind of turtle refers to as a breeding turtle. Under natural conditions, due to the impact of climate and natural enemies, turtle not only grows slowly and has low survival rate, but also overfished the catching and overcaping over the years. As a result, wild resources are almost extinct. Therefore, using artificial methods to strengthen the cultivation of species of turtle is to solve the source of turtle species, the main key to the development of turtle production. The choice of species of turtle should pay attention to the following questions. 1. Age: Generally more than 3 years old in Jiangsu Province that is more than 0.25 kg of male and female turtles have mating behavior, gonadal development is basically mature. In southern Taiwan, Hainan Island and other places only 2 to 3 years; North China will need more than 6 years. In my opinion, suitable for turtle turtle should be sexually mature female turtle
