우리나라 남해안 강진만에서 2006년 5월부터 2007년 4월까지 채집된 개조개의 생식소 발달과 생식주기를 조직학적으로 조사하였다. 개조개는 자웅이체로 난소는 수많은 난소소낭 (oogenic follicle) 으로 이루어져 있으며, 정소는 다수의 정소소낭 (acinus) 으로 구성되어 있다. 생식소지수는 4월에 최고값을 나타내었고, 그 후 감소되어 7월에 최저값를 나타내었다. 비만도지수는 6월에 최고값을 보였고, 그 후 감소되어 11월에 최저값을 보였다. 개조개의 생식주기는 회복 및 휴지기 (6-12월), 초기활성기 (1-4월), 후기활성기 (2-7월), 완숙기 (3-10월), 방출기 (4-10월)로 구분되었다. 강진만에서 개조개의 주 산란기는 7-9월이었다. 암, 수 성비는 1:1로 유의한 차를 보이지 않았다.
Gonadal development, reproductive cycle and sex ratio of the purplish Washington clam, Saxidomus purpuratus were investigated monthly by histological observations. Samples were collected from May 2006 to April 2007 in the Gangjin Bay of Namhea, Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea. The clams are dioecious. The gonads consist of a number of oogenic follicle and acinus. Monthly changes in the gonad index reached a maximum in April and a minimum in July. Monthly changes in the condition index reached a maximum in June and a minimum in November. The reproductive cycle of this species can be divided into five successive stages: the recovery and resting stage (June to December), early active stage (January to April), late active stage (February to July), ripe stage (March to October), spent stage (April to October). The main spawning of the clam occurred in July and September in Gangjin Bay. The sex ratio of female to male was not significantly different from 1:1.
