| Abstract |
|
To compare the starvation endurance ability of the exotic Trachemys scripta elegans and the native Mauremys sinensis, long periods and short periods experiments on the ability of starvation endurance between the exotic T. s. elegans and the native M. sinensis were conducted from August 2009 to April 2010 and June to August 2010. In the long periods experiment the ration of food was restricted and in the short periods the duration of starvation was controlled. In the long periods experiment the results showed that the specific growth rate of M. sinensis in the starvation group was significantly lower than that of control group (P0.05). Food conversion efficiency of T. s. elegans in starvation group was higher than that of the control, while the case reversed in M. sinensis. In the short periods experiment the results indicated that the specific growth rate of M. sinensis in starvation group was remarkablely lower than that of the control (P0.05). The liver weight of M. sinensis in starvation group was significantly lower than that of the control (P0.05). Therefore, we concluded that the starvation endurance ability of exotic T. s. elegans were stronger than that of native M. sinensis.
