Objective:
To observe Whitmania pigra growth and intake law in different temperature conditions and patterns.
Method:
Comparison of W. pigra growth in different weight and different temperature conditions, and observe the intake law of W. pigra within 24 h.
Result And Conclusion:
The appropriate temperature for W. pigra growth is 15 - 25 degrees C. Its largest weight of intake increas with the weight of W. pigra and temperature rise, but with the intake rate increase, individual intake reduced. W. pigra intake have the two peaks in 24 h.
