The batch of eggs from which the juvenile green turtles were hatched was rescued from a beach on september 29 last year because the nesting site was located below the high tide mark and would be submerged under high tides 漁護署于去年九月二十九日在一個泳灘發現一窩海龜蛋,由于產卵地當時處于低水位,海龜蛋極可能在潮漲時被水淹沒。

During the breeding season , adults will return from their foraging grounds to their natal beaches for reproduction . at present , sham wan on lamma island is the only existing nesting site of green turtles in hong kong 在繁殖季節,成年海龜都會從數千公里外的覓食地洄游到出生地繁殖,而南丫島的深灣是本港唯一現存的綠海龜產卵地。

Boasting the world s highest concentration of large marine predators , its waters teem with white - tip , hammerhead , black - tip and silky sharks . cocos island is a stopover for green turtles while they travel hundred of kilometres to find mates 這個海域有很多大型海洋捕獵者,包括具攻擊性鯊魚中的白鰭鯊、槌頭鯊、黑鰭鯊及絲鯊等。

In august , a green turtle nesting in hong kong was fitted with a satellite transmitter and tracked by the afcd as part of its plans for the long - term conservation of this highly endangered species 為長遠存護這種高度瀕危的物種,漁農自然護理署在二零零二年八月,在一只于本港產卵的綠海龜身上系上?星發訊器以追蹤它的遷徙路線。

During the breeding season , adults will return from their foraging grounds to their natal beaches for reproduction . at present , sham wan on lamma island is the only existing nesting site of green turtles in hong kong 在繁殖季節,成年海都會從數千公里外的覓食地洄游到出生地繁殖,而南丫島的深灣是本港唯一現存的綠海產卵地。

The selected marine species of the “ ocean s 10 “ programme are the brain coral , chinese bahaba , chinese white dolphin , green turtle , hong kong grouper , horseshoe crab , mudskipper , sea grass , purple sea urchin and yellow croaker 海洋十寶包括扁腦珊瑚黃唇魚中華白海豚綠海紅斑馬蹄蟹彈涂魚矮大葉藻紫海膽和黃花魚。

“ the green turtle took about 20 days to reach hainan island , over 500 kilometres away from hong kong . it stayed in the coastal waters off the eastern part of the island where it fed and swam in the shallow waters , “ he said 該綠海龜約于二十日后,到達距離本港五百多公里的海南島,在該島以東的淺水區覓食及游泳。

Satellite tracking is used to trace the migratory route and feeding ground of a green turtle by the agriculture , fisheries and conservation department ( afcd ) for the conservation of this highly endangered species 漁農自然護理署(漁護署)以衛星追蹤一只綠海龜的遷徙路線和覓食地,以保育這種高度瀕危的動物。

“ after 10 months of care , the 23 grammes and 5 centimetres long hatchlings have grown up to juvenile green turtles weighing 2 . 4 kilogrammes and measuring 27 centimetres in carapace length on average 經過十個月的悉心照顧,原來只重二十三克及長五厘米的小海龜已長大不少,平均重二點四千克,長二十七厘米。

“ after the satellite transmitter was attached to the green turtle and it started its journey back to the feeding ground , it was exciting to receive the first satellite signal from the migrating turtle 當這只安裝了衛星傳訊器的綠海龜開始遷徙旅程后,我們第一次接收到它在途中發出的訊號時,感到十分興奮。

In late summer of 2001 , a batch of 20 juvenile green turtles artificially incubated in november 2000 were tagged , microchipped and released to the sea by the afcd and the ocean park 本署與海洋公園在二零零一年夏季末,把于二零零零年十一月人工孵出的另一批為數20只小海龜附加標簽、植入微型晶片及放回大海。

At present , sham wan is the only known existing nesting site of green turtles in hong kong . it is a restricted area prohibiting unauthorised entry during the breeding season of green turtles from june to october 該沙灘已劃為限制區,在每年六月至十月綠海龜繁殖期間,任何人士如未經批準,不可進入該區。

“ last year , afcd worked with its counterparts in the guangdong ocean and fishery bureau in conducting a satellite tracking project for three green turtles at gangkou national nature reserve 他說:去年,漁護署與廣東省海洋及漁業局合作,在港口國家級海龜自然保護區,成功為三只綠海龜進行衛星追蹤計劃。

Afcd will continue the tracking programme to study the life history of the green turtles which nest in hong kong in order to help in the conservation of this endangered species , “ said mr cheung 署方會繼續進行衛星追蹤綠海龜遷移路線的研究,進一步了解來港產卵的綠海龜的生長過程,以便保育這種瀕危動物。

Scientists believe that 17th ? century dutch seafarers were barely exaggerating w hen they wrote of being able to walk from one indonesian island to another acros s the back of green turtles 據17世紀荷蘭海員記述,在印度尼西亞,綠海龜多得可以踩著它們的后背從一個島走到另一個島,科學家們認為這并不夸張。

“ signals from the transmitter indicated that the green turtle usually dived for 15 to 30 minutes to eat sea grass and sea weed and surfaced up to breathe before the next dive 衛星傳訊器發出的訊號顯示,該綠海龜通常會潛到水底約十五至三十分鐘,進食海草及海藻,接會浮上水面呼吸,然后再次潛入水中。

During the breeding season , adults will return form their foraging grounds to their natal beaches for reproduction , lamma island is the only existing nesting site of green turtles in hong kong 由于香港的環境不斷改變。近年己很少發現海的蹤跡。時至今日,南丫島的深灣是現存唯一已知的海繁殖地。

There were green turtles in our seas e ons before dinosaurs tramped the earth ; they survived the last ice age ; but they may not be with us much longer 恐龍在地球上出現之前綠海龜于就已在古生代出現;在最后一個冰河時期綠海龜也幸存下來;但它們與我們在一起的日子可能不多了。

This is the third time that artificial incubation has been successfully carried out by afcd for conservation of green turtles . we carried out two other incubations in 1998 and 2000 我們在一九九八年和二年曾人工孵化兩批綠海龜,至今已孵出超過一百八十只小海龜。
