Abstract: The experimental animals were 57 captive breeding adults Shinisaurus crocodilurus and 35 wild adult S. crocodilurus in Daguishan Nature Reserve,Guangxi,China. These individuals were divided into captive breeding adult male group,captive breeding non-pregnant adult female group,wild adult male group and wild adult non-pregnant adult female group. The swimming abilities of S. crocodilurus (sprint swimming speed and maximum distance of continuous movement) were measured at the ambient temperature of 26 ℃ and the water temperature of 26 ℃. Two-way analysis of variance showed that: There was no gender difference in swimming abilities of S. crocodilurus (all P>0.05); however the sprint swimming speed of wild S. crocodilurus (0.67±0.12 m/s) was significantly higher than that of captive breeding S. crocodilurus (0.51±0.10m/s) (F1,88=48.941,P <0.001); there was no significant difference in the maximum distance of continuous movement(F1,88=0.594,P=0.443). The interaction of sex and grouping (captive breeding and wild S. crocodilurus) had no significant effect on the swimming abilities of S. crocodilurus (all P > 0.05). According to the correlation analysis: The body weight,abdomen length,snout-vent length,tail height,and femur length were extremely significant correlated with its sprint swimming speed (all P <0.01); the fat fullness,tail circumference and tail volume were significantly correlated with its sprint swimming speed (all P <0.05); the snout-vent length,body weight and tail height were extremely significant correlation to its maximum distance of continuous movement (all P <0.01); the tail circumference,tail volume,and fat fullness were significantly related to its maximum distance of continuous movement (all P <0.05). The results of stepwise regression analysis showed that femoral length and tail volume were the main factors that affecting the sprint swimming speed (P <0.001). The tail height was the main factor affecting the maximum distance of continuous movement (P =0.003). The results showed that captive breeding condition will lead to decline in the swimming abilities of S. crocodilurus. In order to keep wild released individual with enough movement ability,artificial training is necessary to strengthen movement ability of captive breeding S. crocodilurus.

Key words: Shinisaurus crocodilurus, wild, captive breeding, fat fullness, sprint swimming speed, maximum distance of continuous movement
