Abstract: The effects of different light conditions on the tadpole behavior of Quasipaa boulengeri was studied. The results showed that the number of tadpoles increased with the increase of light intensity, the stress response of tadpoles was very strong at the early stage of culture, and the intensity of the stress response decreased with the increase of culture time. The stress response of the group with high light intensity was stronger than that of the group with low light intensity, and the color of tadpoles in the group with high light intensity was lighter than that of the group with low light intensity.

Key words: Quasipaa boulengeri, tadpole, light intensity, animal behavior
