Abstract: Artificial albino Mauremys mutica was bred by a wild female albino Mauremys mutica (P). F1 progeny was bred by mating between albino female turtle (P) and common male turtle, and F2 progeny was bred by mating between mature F1 male turtle with albino female turtle (P). After 7-8 years of cultivation, the artificial albino Mauremys mutica was successfully produced from the F3 progeny bred in 2007, which was the first artificial breeding of the albino Mauremys mutica. Through the cultivation of 18 batches of 5 generations (F5), the emergence rate of albino Mauremys mutica reached more than 85%, and it could reach 100% in some cases. A stable albino Mauremys mutica gene was produced for the first time.
