In general, they can hold their breath in the water for half an hour to an hour after a single breath.

    In addition, there will be soft-shelled turtles with better water properties, which can last for several hours. When the water temperature drops below 15, the soft-shelled turtle will dive into the silt at the bottom of the pond to hibernate and rely on auxiliary respiratory organs such as gill tissues in the throat to breathe.

    Soft-shelled turtle farming techniques.
