Abstract： The distribution of main culture enterprises,germplasm and culture model of Pelodiscus sinensis in Jiangxi Province were investigated in this paper.The results showed that the culture enterprises existed among the province,however,the enterprises with a certain scale mainly distributed in Nanfeng,Lichuan,Yushan,Yongxiu,Yugan,Jinxian and Yiyang County etc.The main culture strains included Poyang Lake Pelodiscus sinensis,Guangdong Luka,Japan and Huanghe chinese soft-shelled turtle etc.There were three types of culture models,i.e.,normal temperature,controlled temperature and ecological culture model.Moreover,thirteen morphological parameters of six culture groups from different enterprises were measured and analyzed.The results suggested that Yingming group was hybrid progeny of Huanghe,Japan and Taiwan chinese soft-shelled turtle.The Fuyuan group was Poyang Lake chinese soft-shelled turtle,but it was speculated to mingle with Guangdong Luka chinese soft-shelled turtle.The Jinxian group was a multilinemaxtures including Poyang Lake,Guangdong Luka,Japan and Huanghe chinese soft-shelled turtle.Jingfeng,Xingchu and Yongxiu group might be Poyang Lake chinese soft-shelled turtle,while the possibility that they mingled with other strains remained to be eliminated and needed further study.
