Professor Ha Dinh Duc said that recent successes showed abnormal signs related to health of Tortoise.

" His wound compared to the previous days is getting worse ," the German professor worried, adding that it was necessary to put the Tortoise on the base of the Tortoise Tower to check and treat it promptly.

Dr. Bui Quang Te, an aquaculture research institute, said that the ulcer along the middle of the back is very heavy, in addition to the dirty water environment, the wound is made worse. Talking about the turtle being raised many times, Mr. Qi said that he could get pneumonia. The bacteria could not stay long in the water but often emerged to breathe.

Can you go to shore?

Recently, the Hanoi People's Committee requested functional departments and scientists to come up with a unified plan to save the slowest turtle on February 25th.

There are many conflicting opinions about bringing Tortoise ashore for treatment. Some scientists, including German Professor, supported this approach, but many people objected.

According to a representative of the Hanoi Department of Science and Technology, one of the treatments for Tortoise is being considered by the Department to create a smart swimming pool right at the lake, not to bring up the tools.

This swimming pool will be submerged right at the lake, swimming pool surface water thanks to the buoy system. The water in the swimming pool is the lake water, which is fed into the tank through a smart pump system that can measure lake water indicators. In case the indicator fails, the pump will balance itself, ensuring that the water flowing into the tank meets the set criteria. The Tortoise will be put into the tank to take care of the wound and remain in it until it is completely healthy to bring back to Sword Lake.

Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Khoi, general director of KAT Trading Group, who has 14-year experience in turtle farming, warns against using manual methods to bring the tortoise up and running, because there is a risk of liver rupture and bile collapse. tools Mr. Khoi told him that he used to catch a turtle weighing only about 50 kg, but when he lifted it, he kicked it, fell to the ground, the shell was broken, causing the liver to break.

The weight of the Turtle tool is currently estimated at 200 kg, so it is not safe to catch by manual method, Mr. Khoi commented.

Dr. Ha Dinh Duc, member of the Emergency Steering Committee to protect Ho Guom Turtle in Hanoi, said the Research Institute for Aquaculture No. 1 is taking samples of water and mud at many points on the Sword Lake to determine the extent of the plot. infection of the lake.

Regarding the capture of red-eared turtles, according to the Hanoi Department of Science and Technology, various types of traps will be used, simultaneously with the renovation of Sword Lake. However, the Department has not announced a specific schedule of activities to catch red-eared turtles.
