Abstract     
In order to compare the stress response of baby Trachemys scripta elegans and Mauremys sinensis, we treated the substrate in which their eggs hatched with three different concentrations (0 mg/L, 0.01 mg/L, and 0.1 mg/L) of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3). After hatching, the data of hatchability and various physiological parameters of blood were collected from these offspring. All eggs were incubated at 30?0.5?. The results indicate that the hatching rate of T. scripta elegans was significant higher than that of M. sinensis (P<0.05). Accordingly, the blood parameters show different performance of the two species to the stressed environment. In T. scripta elegans, animals in group treated with 0.1 mg/LNH4NO3 were tested to possess more red and white blood cells ((9.682.91)x1011cells/L and (1.110.18)x1010cells/L respectively) than the control group (P<0.05). More over, the ratio of long and short diameter of red cell (1.710.14) is significantly higher than the other two groups (P<0.05). However, there is no significant difference between treatments in all of these parameter of M. sinensis. Hence, we could suggest that T. scripta elegans probably can improve its immunity by increasing the number of haemocyte and changing the morphology of red blood cell in respond to the stress of NH4NO3. In addition, our results could explain why T. scripta elegans is more adaptive than M. sinensis to some degree.
