Pelodiscus maackii, commonly known as the Amur softshell turtle^[3] or the northern Chinese softshell turtle, is a species of turtle in the family Trionychidae. The species is found in the Russian Far East, northeastern China, Korea, and Japan.^[4] It is possible that the Japanese populations are the result of ancient introductions by humans.^[4] This aquatic species may attain a straight carapace length of 32.5 cm (1.1 ft).^[5]

Breeding

In China specifically the breeding of the Chinese soft turtle has been done for over 2400 years and the production has come^[6] to 340,000 Annually due to the demand.

Etymology

The specific name, maackii, is in honor of Russian naturalist Richard Maack.^[3]
