Preliminary Study of Respiration Metabolism in The Soft-Shelled Turtle (Trionyx sinensis)

  • Aquatic and aerial respiration in freely-diving soft-shelled turtle Trionyx sinensis were measured with refited Kalabukhov-Skvortsov respirometer.The results showed that,the soft-shelled turtle depended mainly on aerial respiration,aquatic oxygen consumption was only 2.68% of total oxygen consumption.No significant difference in oxygen consumption was measured at day and night.
