项目动物东方铃蟾的饲养繁殖

Breeding and Raising of Oriental Fire-Bellied Toad(Bombina orientalis) as a Program Animal

选择东方铃蟾作为保护教育的项目动物,因为它是众多两栖动物中蛙类的一种,有典型的外观特征,是生活在我国最北方地区的蛙类,在北京地区野外也能存活,其物种保护及生态学意义不容忽视。本文介绍了东方铃蟾的生物学特征,并指出人工饲养东方铃蟾所需养殖室环境温度为20~23℃,湿度36%~55%,全年温湿度相差不多,而养殖缸温度20~21℃,湿度70%~80%,不能超过27℃,全年恒定,每日照明保证8~14 h。成蛙日常饲养密度可达24只/m^2,雌雄比例为1♂:3♀,而幼蛙可控制在40~60只/m^2。繁殖出的东方铃蟾,经训练可用于保护教育活动,效果很好。今后,应该进一步加强对东方铃蟾的生物学特性及保护研究。

We choose oriental fire-bellied toad(Bombina orientalis)as the program animal.It's one of amphibian,which has the typical morphological characteristics,and live in the northernmost part of China.The oriental fire-bellied toad can also survive in the field around Beijing.Its value to species protection and ecology can't be ignored.In this article,we introduced its biological characteristic.For artificial breeding,the temperature and humidity in breeding room is 20-23℃ and36%-55%.respectively,and does not vary much through the whole year;those for the breeding tank is 20-21 ℃ and 70%-80%.respectively,and the temperature should not be over 27℃ and stable;Daily illumination should be between 8 to 14 hours.Stocking density of adult could be up to24frog/m^2,with sex portion of 1 male to 3 female;the density of froglet should be 40 to60 frogs/m^2.The artificial breed oriental fire-bellied toad can be trained to use for conservation education,and yielded good effect.In the future,research on the biology and conservation of oriental fire-bellied toad should be improved.
