Puddle with Rana chensinensis larvae adjacent to the Pacific coast on the Krilon Peninsula. Splashing salt water contacted this puddle during the time of high tide. It was a breeding site of Rana chensinensis. The vegetation consisted of Lemna and Juncus only. We found many pieces of old wood in the water. The water can be characterized as follows: slightly alkaline, poor in humic material, nutrient poor, rich in electrolytes

Puddle with Rana chensinensis larvae adjacent to the Pacific coast on the Krilon Peninsula. Splashing salt water contacted this puddle during the time of high tide. It was a breeding site of Rana chensinensis. The vegetation consisted of Lemna and Juncus only. We found many pieces of old wood in the water. The water can be characterized as follows: slightly alkaline, poor in humic material, nutrient poor, rich in electrolytes and of a medium total hardness. A typical feature of this breeding site is the NaCl content of Because of the high content of salt, the puddle can be classified as a B- mesohalobien water representing the upper limit of brackish water. The 24 larvae represented an earlier stage of development compared to tadpoles of the same species living in other breeding places at the same time. 2. Micromorphology Investigations The schematic drawings of the larval mouth of Rana amurensis and Rana chensinensis show clear differences in their morphology (Fig. 3). With the SCAN, the small conical teeth on the upper and on the lower horny jaw could be visualized in both species. In the literature (Bannikov et al., 1977) only.
