「鱟」有「活化石」之稱,在演化研究、醫學應用及潮間帶健全指標上,都相當重要。一、二十年前曾廣泛分布於台灣西部沿海,近年來由於人類對沿海及潮間帶嚴重的污染與破壞,鱟有滅絕之虞,目前僅剩下金門與澎湖兩地尚有鱟的棲息繁衍之處。澎湖地區鱟也面臨生存危機,急需進行復育與保育的工作。本試驗己成功誘引成鱟在人為環境下自然產卵,產卵期從4月9日至5月13日止,產卵38日;產卵水溫介於23.0-27.4℃間,本年度共收集鱟卵39,871粒。利用自行研發之立體式受精卵孵化系統,順利孵化出3,599隻一齡稚鱟。2010年5月11日起(孵化後1,070天)累計114尾脫殼成10齡鱟,至2010年9月27日起(孵化後1,209天)累計57尾脫殼成11齡鱟,至2011年7月25日起(孵化後1,510天)累計30尾脫殼成12齡鱟,另有1隻2012年7月30日起(孵化後1,881天)成功脫殼成為13齡鱟,累計3尾存活下來。

研究報告摘要(英)


The horseshoe crab, Tachypleus tridentatus, is known as a living fossil. It plays a very important role in evolution and medical resarch. Horseshoe crab once is attributed widely along the west coast of Taiwan island decades ago. It is almost eliminated from the coast as a result of pollution and degradation. In Taiwan, Tachypleus tridentatus, can only be found in Kimmen and Penghu island. Horseshoe crab in Penghu is facing survival crisis. Thus, conservation need to be done in no time. The objectives of this study are establishment of inducing wild horseshoe crabs natural spawning under the artificial environment. Spawning season began from April 9 to May 13. Spawning period water temperature range was 23℃ to 27.4℃. We finally collected 39,871 horseshoe crab’s eggs altogether in this spawning system to save labor. It’s further to research and develop the circulating water system of fertilized egg hatching- out system. It hatched out 3,599 1st instar larvae in 2012.There were 114 individuals were successfully molted to 10th- instar larvae (after hatching 1,070 days), 57 individuals were successfully molted to 11th- instar larvae (after hatching 1,209 days) and 30 individuals were successfully molted to 12th- instar larvae (after hatching 1,510 days). On July 30 2012, among of them 1 individual were successfully molted to 13th- instar larvae (after hatching 1,881 days) and total 3 individuals still alive.
