摘要:

蚯蚓(地龙)是一种常见的动物类中药资源, 在心脑血管等疾病的治疗中具有较高的药用价值。近年来, 为大量获取野生蚯蚓, 高效获取蚯蚓的方式“电击”法应运而生, 但过度攫取可能会威胁蚯蚓的野外生存。为了解“电击”蚯蚓存在的潜在威胁和影响, 本文利用1998年2月至2022年7月的地龙市场价格数据及2004‒2021年的市场供应量和需求量数据, 分析了地龙市场价格的波动规律及其与供应、需求间的关系, 并通过贝叶斯结构时间序列模型探究了“电击”蚯蚓对供应量和价格的影响。结果表明: (1)自1998年以来, 地龙价格整体呈上升态势, 具有一定的季节性波动规律, 截至2022年产新季地龙干重价格涨至175元/kg; (2)地龙市场价值逐年增加, 目前价格偏离价值, 市场处于不稳定状态; (3) 2013年“电击”法推广后, 与未进行“电击法”推广的预测结果相比较, 在控制需求的情况下, 地龙供应量显著增加, 市场价格显著下降。相较于未进行“电击法”推广的预测结果, 供应量的平均值相对增加40%, 价格相对下降44%。为加强我国野生动物资源的保护与可持续利用, 强烈建议加快建立野生药用动物资源的市场监测预警机制, 强化野生药用动物资源市场秩序整顿和规范, 并通过市场与政策相互协调将可持续性融入野生药用动物资源利用的全过程。

Abstract

Aim: Earthworm (also known as earth dragon) is a commonly used animal traditional Chinese medicine resource. It has high medicinal value, particularly for treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In the recent decade, “electric shocking” methods using electric earthworm machines have been used to increase the harvesting yield of wild earthworms. While such a method can improve harvesting efficiency, it may be unsustainable, threatening wild earthworm populations and negatively affecting soil habitats. This paper aims to analyze the potential effect of “electric shocking” on the national earth dragon market.

Methods: We used the largest national dataset on market price (1998.2‒2022.7), the market supply (2004‒2021) and the market demand (2004‒2021) to analyze market characteristics and their relationships. To better understand the potential effect of “electric shocking” on the national earth dragon market, we used Bayesian structural time-series models to analyze the impact of “electric shocking” on supply quantity and market price.

Results: Our results showed that: (1) From 1998 to 2022, the price of earth dragons has been on the rise, with seasonal fluctuations, and the highest price attained was 175 yuan/kg; (2) The market value of earth dragons increased yearly, but the current price appeared to be below the commodity value, thus the market was in an unstable state; (3) Even after controlling for market demand, compared with the predicted results without the popularization of the “electric shocking” methods, the popularization of the “electric shocking” harvesting methods in 2013 had significantly increased the supply quantity of earth dragons, yet the market price had decreased significantly. The average supply has increased by 40% prior to 2013, however the market price has decreased by 44%.

Suggestions: We strongly recommend that the pharmaceutical management department does the following: (1) accelerating the establishment of a market monitoring and early warning mechanism for wild medicinal animal resources; (2) strengthening the rectification and standardization of the market regulations, and (3) integrating sustainability evaluation for the trade of wild animal medicine.
