RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To solve the problem that the single feed causing malnutrition, extension of the life cycle and low survival rates of Buthus martensii. METHODS: By using Minitab (R) 15.1.1.0.0., 7 different kinds of compound feed were designed, including minced meat mud (pork,chicken and rabbit), bran (fried yellow), sugar, milk, vegetable paste and multivitamin as raw material. RESULTS: Different proportions of compound feed that taking the yellow mealworm as main component had a significant effect on the growth, mortality and birth number of Buthus martensii. Compound feed 5 significantly reduced mortality of youth scorpion. The compound feed 4 was the best in improving the weight of scorpion larvae and youth scorpion, and the farrowing number of mother scorpion. Other indicators were also good. Proportions in meatmud (pork, chicken and rabbit), bran (fried yellow), sugar, milk, vegetable paste and multivitamin was 30.00%, 25.00%, 20.08%, 15.58%, 8.08% and 1.25%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The growth of Buthus martensii is significantly influenced by the type of feed. In the production of compound feed, the yellow mealworm with compound feed 4 can be popularized.

OBJECTIVE: To study population dynamics of Buthus martensii and its wild spatial distribution pattern in Yan'an. METHODS: Every month, the 1st, 10th and 20th day were designated to collect Buthus martensii samples and count on the collection by using expansion pattern target, Taylor power law and Lwao m-x regression analysis. RESULTS: Taylor power law regression equation was Ig S2 = 1.6671 lg x + 0.1554; Lwao m-x regression equation was m = 1.3179 + 1.5133x. The spatial distribution pattern of Buthus martensii was negative binomial distribution and its population fluctuation curve in the wild presented a single peak. CONCLUSION: Spatial pattern of Buthus martensii in Yan'an is aggregated distribution which based on individual group, and the higher density,the greater aggregation degree.
