摘要: 白鱀豚是我国特有的珍贵水生哺乳动物,也是世界现存的4种淡水豚(拉河豚Pontoporia blainvillei,亚河豚Inia geoffrensis,恒河豚Platanista gangetica和白鱀豚)中存活头数最少的一种。近几年来,白鱀豚已为很多人所熟知,并像大熊猫一样,被视为我国的“国宝”。 对白鱀豚进行系统的研究工作,开始在中华人民共和国成立之后。特别是七十年代以来,我国的科学工作者对其进行了大量的调查研究。

Abstract: The present paper deals with the compendious st atuses of research on the Chinese river dolphin in China.After liberation, the scientists of our country have done many investigations and studies.The studies revealed differences exist in the skeleton system with Inia geoffrensis that it ( Lipotes ) separated from Inia ( Iniidae ) and a new family, Lipotidae was named.On the notes of the specimen of each region, We consider that Chinese river dolphin inhabit chiefly the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtse river. About forty years ago, it was captured near Lian Tuo and Huang Ling Miao in the upper reach of the Yangtse river.Some of the authors consider that it inhabit also the Dongting Hu, the Poyang Hu and the little rivers run into these lakes.The statuses of the research on the ecological characteristies, anatomy, histological studies, Iipid properties etc. are reviewed in the present paper. The studies on bioacoustics and acoustical behaviour of this dolphin is also introduced.The present writer suggest that studies on ethology. population ecology and it's environment is a necessary.The Chinese river dolphin is a endangered species. We suggest that it must be protected strictly.
