由于历史上记载的中国大鲵独特的营养和药用价值，人工培养的中国大鲵可以被释放到大鲵生存环境中以增加自然界的数量或作为原料合法应用于食品和医药行业。
养殖的中国大鲵营养丰富，如高品质蛋白质、理想的氨基酸、脂肪酸比例以及理想的矿物元素和维生素。并含有胶原蛋白、活性肽、必需脂肪酸、金属硫蛋白和蛙皮素等不同的生物活性物质，具有抗氧化活性、抗肿瘤、抗菌、抗衰老、烧伤治疗、抗感染和抗辐射等生物活性。因为人工育种的中国大鲵具有很高的营养价值，并可用于医疗保健行业的应用，因此其是保护自然种群的一种宝贵资源。
通过资源保护与产业发展的合理结合，改善野生群体濒危状况并实现人工饲养资源的有效利用是一项重要策略。人工中国大鲵育种产业的发展可为中国大鲵幼苗释放到大自然提供有力的科学依据。另一方面，从人工培养的中国大鲵开发加工技术、产品链和品牌产品对于医疗行业的需求和农村绿色经济的发展具有重要意义。
来自工业生物催化教育部重点实验室，清华大学化学工程系生化工程研究所的何东、朱文明、邢新会等人在该文章中对人工培养的中国大鲵的营养成分、生物活性成分和药用活性进行了综述，并进一步讨论了人工培养的CGS在医疗行业的潜在应用和未来技术发展的前景。更多详细内容请查看原文。

Andrias davidianus, i.e. Chinese giant salamander (CGS), is one of the largest and oldest amphibians existing in the world and is also one of the valuable biological resources of China. Wild CGS has been threatened with extinction in the past decades due to over capturing, deterioration of natural environment, the slow breeding and growth of the wild species in nature. However, in the past twenty years, with the breakthrough and progress of artificial breeding technology by artificial insemination, the number of artificially cultivated CGS has increased rapidly. Artificially cultivated CGS can either be released to the CGS living environment to increase the population in nature or legally applied in food and medicinal industry as a feedstock due to the unique nutritional and medicinal values of CGS as recorded historically. In this review, the nutritional components, bioactive components and medicinal activities of the artificially cultivated CGS will be summarized. The mucus, skin, meat and bone of CGS contain many different bioactive substances thereby having various medicinal activities including anti-aging, anti-fatigue, anti-tumor, therapy of burn and anti-infection and other physiological functions. This paper will further discuss the potential applications of the artificially cultivated CGS in healthcare industry and prospects of future technological development.
