[Abstract]

　The purpose of this study is to make a basic design for acquiring and storing a genetic information of endemic, rare, vulnerable or endangered species of wild animals. Basic information collected from the ex-situ population and natural population is separeted into three categories; 1) taxonomic information including 5 and 6 items in natural and ex-situ populations, respectively, 2) breeding information including 12 and 14 items in natural and ex-situ populations, respectively, 3) environmental information including 10 and 25 items in natural and ex-situ populations, respectively. In addition to these basic informations, organ, tissue, cell and genetic characteristics were encoded. Breeding data of the inbred lines of Japanese quail(K-H and K-L) was processed at all 47 generations according to the format of breeding information. The egg-laying and hatching rates of K-H line tended to decrease from generation to generation, showing inbreeding depression.
