近日,东海水产研究所海南琼海研究中心的夏连军课题组在瓜螺人工繁殖上取得成功,填补了国际上这一研究方向的空白。该课题组自2012年开展瓜螺人工育苗技术研究,先后突破了亲本培育、营养强化、人工交配、稚贝培育等技术,人工繁育取得初步成功。今年5月共有一对亲螺产下卵囊,经过60天的孵化,培育出幼螺120余枚。瓜螺(Cymbium melo),属软体动物门、腹足纲、新腹足目、涡螺科,分布于印度以及中国大陆的福建、广东、海南等地。该种螺腹足部肉质肥厚,营养丰富,味道鲜美,市场价格一向居高不下,达100元/kg。随 Recently, the Xia Lianjun research group of Hainan Qionghai Research Center of the East China Sea Fisheries Research Institute succeeded in artificial breeding of melon snails, which filled the gap in the international research direction. Since 2012, the research group has carried out the research on the artificial seedling raising technology of Guilu, which has successively broken through the techniques of parental breeding, fortification, artificial mating and juvenile breeding and achieved initial success by artificial breeding. In May this year, a total of a pair of progenitor spawning oocysts, after 60 days of incubation, breeding more than 120 young snails. Cymbium melo belongs to the genus Mollusca, Gastropoda, Neoplasm, Edulis, distributed in India and mainland China including Fujian, Guangdong and Hainan. The snail-foot foot meat hypertrophy, nutrient-rich, delicious, the market price has been high, up to 100 yuan / kg. With
