「鱟」又稱為馬蹄蟹,四億年前出現,被稱為「活化石」。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,中國鱟有滅絕之虞,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6月6日至9月10日止,7月為產卵高峰期佔總產卵量50%以上;產卵水溫在26.2~31.2℃間,本年度共收集鱟卵74,504粒卵。利用自行研發出受精卵循環水孵化系統,並且順利孵化出18,460隻一齡稚鱟。並有471尾一齡稚鱟脫殼成為二齡鱟,其中更有16隻成功脫殼成為三齡鱟並且活存下來。

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. Tachypleus tridentatus once istributed 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. Tachypleus tridentatus 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 June 6 to September 10, and spawning peak period was July( 53%). Spawning period water temperature range was 26.2℃ to 31.2℃. We finally collected 74,504 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 18,460 1st instar larva and 471 larva molted to 2nd instar stage. Among of them 17 individuals were successfully molted to 3rd instar larva and still alive.
