Use of earthworm Eiseniella tetraedra in vermiculture was tested for the first time. The structural parameters of its natural and laboratory populations under constant hydrothermal conditions were determined together with the production parameters such as the rate of weight gain, cocoon production, and duration of embryonic development. The mean weight gain was 84% of the baseline within 6 weeks, the rate of cocoon deposition was 0.8 per week, and the incubation duration was about 3 weeks, which provided for population doubling within 3 months. The obtained data demonstrated a good adaptation of Eiseniella tetraedra to the culture conditions with a synthetic organic substrate.
首次对四棱艾氏蚓在蚯蚓养殖中的应用进行了测试。测定了其在恒定水热条件下自然种群和实验室种群的结构参数，以及诸如体重增加率、茧产量和胚胎发育持续时间等生产参数。6周内平均体重增加为基线的84%，茧沉积率为每周0.8个，孵化持续时间约为3周，这使得种群在3个月内翻倍。所获得的数据表明四棱艾氏蚓对合成有机基质的养殖条件具有良好的适应性。
