2006년 1월부터 12월까지 전북 부안군 격포리에서 월별로 채집된 홍합, Mytilus coruscus를 대상으로 생식주기를 조사하였다. 홍합은 자웅이체이며, 난소는 수많은 난소소낭으로 이루어 져 있으며, 정소는 다수의 정소소낭으로 구성되어 있다. 생식소지수 (GI) 와 생식소중량지수 (GSI) 의 월별 변화는 2월에 최고값에 도달한 이후, 4월까지 점차 감소하였으며 GI 값과 GSI 값의 월별 변화는 서로 유사한 경향을 보였다. 비만도지수 (CI) 의 월별 변화는 생식소지수와 생식소중량지수의 변화양상과 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 따라서 이들 세 가지 지수로부터 홍합의 산란기는 2-4월로 판단된다. 조직학적 조사에 의한 홍합의 산란기는 2-4월이었으며, 주 산란기는 2-3월이었다. 생식주기는 초기활성기 (11-1월), 후기활성기 (11-2월), 완숙기 (12-4월), 부분산란기 (2-4월), 퇴화기 (4-10월), 휴지기 (6-12월) 로 구분되었다. 각고에 따라 홍합의 군성숙도를 조사한 결과, 각고 40.1-50.0 mm인 개체들은 군성숙도 50% 이상 (암컷 71.4%, 수컷 78.9%) 이었고, 각고 50.1 mm 이상인 개체들은 군성숙도 100%이었다. 12개월간 채집한 총 개체들의 성비를 검증한 결과, 암수 성비는 1:1로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다 (χ2 = 0.63, p > 0.05).
The gonad index, gonadosomatic index, the condition index, reproductive cycle, first sexual maturity, and sex ratio of the hard shelled mussel, Mytilus coruscus were investigated by using histological analysis and morphometric data. Specimens were collected monthly in Kyeokpo, western Korea from January to December, 2006. The gonad index reached a maximum in February, and minimum in September. Both the monthly variations of the gonad index (GI) and the gonadosomatic index (GSI) reached a maximum in February. After that, their values continually decreased between March and April because of spawning. The monthly variation of the condition index coincides with the GI and the GSI. The spawning period was from February to April, with the main spawning occurring between February and March. The reproductive cycle of this species could be classified into six stages: early active stage (November to January), late active stage (November to February), ripe stage (December to April), partially spawned stage (February to April), degenerative stage (April to October), and resting stage (June to December ). Percentages of sexual maturity was over 50% for the female and male hard shelled mussels that ranges from 40.1 to 50.0 mm in shell length. The percentage was 100% for those that are over 50.1 mm. The sex ratios of females to males over 40.1 mm in shell length were not significantly different from a 1:1 sex ratio (χ2 = 0.63, p > 0.05). No evidence of hermaphroditism was found in histological sections of any hard shelled mussel examined.
