## Abstract We investigated the development of the whole skeleton of the softβshelled turtle __Pelodiscus sinensis,__ with particular emphasis on the pattern and sequence of ossification. Ossification starts at late TokitaβKuratani stage (TK) 18 with the maxilla, followed by the dentary and prefron

This study aimed to determine effects of 6-day progressive increase in salinity from 1% to 15% on nitrogen metabolism and excretion in the soft-shelled turtle, Pelodiscus sinensis. For turtles exposed to 15% water on day 6, the plasma osmolality and concentrations of Na 1 , Cl Γ and urea increased s
