乌龟生长速度研究初报

A Preliminary Survey on the Growing Tempo of Chinemys reevesii (Gray)

乌龟的生长速度与温度及摄食量有着密切的关系。在适温区20～28℃,随着温度的上升,摄食量加大,其生长速度亦随之加速。在休眠期间,龟体的耗损量也随环境温度的升高而增加。

The growing tempo of tortoises is closely related with the temperature and intake of food. In suitable temperature range (20～28℃), the intake increases with the rise of temperature and the growth accordingly accelerates. In the dormant period, the tortoise consumes more energy as ambient temperature rises.
