On September 20, 1988 we examined a sample of 39 alligators from the 1982 population in order to measure their weight and size and to determine sex ratio (Table 1). Chinese Alligators grow slowly and there is considerable variation in weight and size. As in the wild population, the frequency of males is very low. Since only one next was produced this year, it takes at least six years for Chinese Alligators to reach sexual maturity. Most will take seven years and some maybe even longer. In order to produce more second generation alligators, we are going to reduce the density in the rearing areas and remove some smaller Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Zhongguo liang qi pa xing dong wu xue hui.
