Jade Perch 宝石鲈

澳洲宝石鲈，原名高体革鯻，俗称宝石魚、宝石斑魚、玉鲈等。原产于澳洲的食用淡水魚，因具有很强的环境适应力和高度的抗病能力，故被引进世界各地，成为享负盛名的食用魚。

科学分类

宝石鲈  Jade Perch ( Scortum barcoo ) 属 于鲈形目 ( Perciformes )、鯻科 ( Terapontidae )、革鯻属  ( Scortum )。是 Queensland六大重要淡水魚类之一，具有成长快、杂食性及耐低溶氧等特點，种魚性成熟需要4年。

外形特征

宝石鲈体呈纺锤形，体厚而扁圆，头小，口端位，头后背拱起，腹部大而浑圆，体披栉鳞，尾鳍短而宽，微凹。鱼体的两侧或一侧有1～2个甚至多个黑色晶莹的椭圆形斑块及零星分布的小斑块，宛如镶嵌黑色的宝石，因而得名“宝石鲈”。

生活习性

宝石鲈生性好动，游泳迅速，喜生活栖息于水体的中上层。

在自然条件下，以小鱼、小虾为食，并喜食小蚯蚓、红线虫、面包虫等较大的活饵料。在人工养殖条件下，可投喂配合颗粒饲料，有明显的集群抢食习性，经1周左右的驯化，鱼听到敲击声或泼水声等信号，均会不约而同地前来觅食。

生存水温为10～38℃，最佳生长温度为21～28℃，水温降至17～18℃时摄食强度减弱，10～15℃时行动迟缓或静止于水的中下层。

溶氧要求不高，自然水域要求溶氧在2.5毫克/升以上，工厂化集约式养殖要求在3.5毫克/升以上，在pH值5.5～8.5范围内均可正常生长。 

EduPark @ UPM

From a modest School of Agriculture in 1931, now a research university that sit on a gargantuan 1,000 hectares of greens in Serdang, is home to the latest attraction – EduPark @ UPM.

With Human Anatomy Museum, Animal Anatomy Museum, Putra Dairy Farm, Ladang 16, Equine Park, Conservatory Park and Serdang Gallery, EduPark is a place to PLAY, LEARN and stay  YOUNG !

With my then coursemates, we toiled the soil, and tended to the farm animals, as a requirement for the course we attended.  We were rewarded with credits, in addition to some fresh produce from the farm.

I have no doubt a day spent at the EduPark will surely feel a bit smarter with the gain a few ounce of knowledge, and loads of fun, a bit of sun tan, in return a few hundred ringgit poorer. Yet nothing comparable to the hardship we endured.

舞虎 Chinese Tiger Dance

舞狮舞龙是客家人在节日或庆典时常见的一种活动，它象征如意吉祥、驱邪逐疫、盛世太平。

有资料表明，客家人舞狮舞龙，是近百年才兴起的，而在此之前，却是舞虎而不是舞狮。此说并非空穴来风，毫无根据。

纵观中国历代，人们均视虎为最威武的动物，客家人亦然。诸如州官府尹、财主老爷，占山为王的寨主坐的都是虎交椅，用以显威风、壮权势；不少豪门贵族厅堂上高挂虎图。

据客族《涂氏宗记》卷二记载：“佳节之晨，梳洗最细，礼帽新衣，迎接贺岁舞虎。爆竹引路，将虎引进祖堂，虎头舞动，虎皮缠身。”

《古氏南迁》中，亦有舞虎的记载：“祖上自中原南迁，越南海而入桂，历尽艰辛，难险谁知？千里奔波，粮尽物耗，独有传世盛物虎头，雨淋日晒，随众翻山越岭，舞虎觅食，斗虎擂台，谁能分真假焉！”

在广西柳江客家地区，至今仍流传着舞虎人的故事：宋仁宗时，甘氏祖上因舞虎擂台斗伤对手，唯恐惹祸，便只身背起虎头，连夜离家出走南逃。一路昼伏夜行，只拣山路小路而走。不数日，路过一处杂草丛生的山坡上，饥渴疲劳相逼，便躺下休息。蒙眬中一阵狂风过后，眼前出现一只吊睛白额虎，眈眈逼视。甘氏大惊，忽地跃身而起，急中生智，赶快抓起虎头套在头上，斗视一眼，即就地滚出丈余，没想到假虎却把真虎吓跑了……后来，他又一路舞虎讨食，经过千辛万苦，到得柳江才落下脚来。

在柳江县的上坑村，有座古老的庙宇，石壁上有一舞虎人图画，迄今仍隐约可见。

据悉在柳江沙坑镇还发现一幅2米长、0.5米宽的舞虎画，画中一人抓虎头，一人撑虎尾，虎头被高高举起，还有一群围观的人。题图万历七年，可见此画已有四百余年的历史了。

至于舞虎何时被舞狮所取代，一说是陈汉平从非洲把舞狮带进客家地区的，但此说仍有待查考。
