A new species, Arca koumaci Lutaenko et Maestrati n. sp. (Bivalvia: Arcidae), is described from New Caledonia. The species is characterized by the small size, the convex shell with a strong posterior umbonal ridge covered by spikes, the widely curved ventral margin, and presence of cancellate sculpture and convergent marginal teeth. Presence of spikes on the posterior ridge is a unique morphological feature recorded for the first time in the genus. It is proposed that the only subgenus, namely Pliocene A. (Arcoptera) Heilprin, 1887, apart from nominative, can be recognized in the genus. Three morphological types are distinguished within the genus based on shell shape and sculpture. Bathymetric analysis shows that representatives of Arca inhabit water depths down to 175 m, and more than half of Recent species were found below 50 m. Types of A. bouvieri P. Fischer, 1874, Arca boucardi Jousseaume, 1894, Arca avellana Lamarck, 1819, and Arca retusa Lamarck, 1819 are illustrated.
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.
Health state of the Japanese scallop, Mizuhopecten yessoensis, cultured in the Experimental Marine Farm in Minonosok Bay (Peter the Great Bay, Sea of Japan) was investigated. The wide spectrum of histopathological changes has been identified in the internal organs and tissues of scallops: prokaryotic infection with prevalence 100%, destruction of digestive epithelium and other changes in digestive system, infiltration of organs by hemocytes and granulocytome formation. The most affected by prokaryotic infection organs are labial palps, lips, esophagus, intestine and gills. Several of the observed alterations seem to be related to prokaryotic infection.
A scanning electron microscopic study on the glochidium and glochidial encystment of Anodonta arcaeformis on the host fish Carassius auratus was conducted. The shape of the glochidium was apparently subtriangular and its average size was 270 μm x 260 μm x 145 μm. The glochidial shell valves were of the same size, kept together by a ligament that is 50.4 μm in length and 5.5 μm in width. Each of the glochidial shell valve had a long hook studded with many spines on the superior face. A large area of at the apex of the valve surrounding the base of the hook was provided with numerous small spines which became progressively smaller toward the periphery of the area. The glochidial shell valve consisted of two layers. The mantle cells line the glochidial shell valves and some of hair cells were observed. A larval thread was 2.3 μm in diameter. In the artificial infection of the glochidia to one of the natural hosts, Carassius auratus, it took about three to four hours to encyst the glochidia with epithelial cells of the fish fins. The encystment method was the cell migration from the neighboring epithelial cells.
충청남도 서천군 비인만 앞바다 조간대에서 채집된 큰구슬우렁이, Glossaulax didyma를 대상으로 생식소발달단계에 따른 생식주기, 난괴 내의 난낭, 그리고 군성숙도와 성비 등을 조직학적 관찰과 형태측정 자료에 의해 조사하였다. 생식소중량지수 (GSI) 암, 수의 월별 변화는 암컷의 경우, 2월부터 증가하기 시작하여 5월에 최대값을 이룬 후, 6월부터 8월까지 감소하였다. 수컷의 경우도 5월에 최고값을 나타낸 후, 6월부터 8월까지 감소하여 암컷과 유사한 경향을 보였다. 따라서 암, 수 개체의 산란기는 5월 하순-8월로 추정되었다. 비만도지수 (CI) 의 월별 변화는 암컷의 경우, 2월부터 4월까지 서서히 증가하기 시작하여 5월에 최대값을 나타낸 후, 6월부터 8월까지 감소하였다. 그리고 9월부터 12월까지 다시 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 수컷의 경우도 암컷과 같이 2월에 서서히 증가하기 시작하여 5월에 최고값을 나타낸 후, 6-8월까지 감소하였다. 따라서 비만도지수에 의해 산란기를 판정하여 볼 때, 5월 하순-8월로 추정되었다. 산란기는 암컷의 경우, 5월 하순-8월 말 사이이었고, 수컷은 5월 초-8월 말까지 이었으며, 주산란은 수온이 19℃ 이상인 7-8월에 일어났다. 생식주기는 암컷의 경우, 초기활성기 (12-2월), 후기활성기 (2-3월), 완숙기 (4-7월), 산란기 (5월 하순-8월), 회복기 (8-11월)의 연속적인 5단계로 구분되었고, 수컷의 경우는 활성기 (12-3월), 완숙기 (3-7월), 교미기 (5월 초-8월), 회복기 (8-1월) 의 연속적인 4단계로 구분되었다. 완숙난모세포의 크기는 직경이 250-270 μm이었다. 난괴는 모자 모양이었고, 한 개의 난괴 속에서 수많은 난낭 (0.53-0.57 mm) 들이 발견되었다. 한 개의 난낭에서 한 개의 배 (veliger 유생) 가 부화되었다. 큰구슬우렁이의 군성숙도는 각경 40.1-45.0 mm인 암, 수 개체 모두 군성숙도(%) 50% 이상이었고, 각경 45.1 mm 이상의 개체는 군성숙도가 100%였다. 암, 수의 성비는 1:1이 아닌 것으로 확인되었다 (χ2 = 57.22, p < 0.05).
The reproductive cycle, egg capsules in the egg-mass, first sexual maturity, and sex ratio of the bladder moon, Glossaulax didyma (Rding) were investigated. The gastropods collected from the intertidal zone of Biin Bay, Seocheon, Korea were studied by using histological analysis and morphometric data. The gonadosomatic index (GSI) of females and males began to increase in March and reached maximum in May. Then their values sharply decreased from late in May to August due to spawning. The condition index (CI) began to increase in February and reached maximum in May, then gradually declined in the spawning period. The CI calculated for determination of the spawning period was coincided with changes in the GSI and gonadal phases. Spawning occurred between late in May to August in females and early in May to August in males. Spawning peak was observed between July and August when the seawater temperature rose to 19 ℃. Reproductive cycle with the gonadal development phases of this species can be divided into five successive stages in females and four in males: in females, early active stage (December to February), late active stage (February to March), ripe stage (April to July), spawning stage (late May to August), and recovery stage (August to November); in males, active stage (December to March), ripe stage (March to July), copulation stage (early May to August), and recovery stage (August to January). Fully matured oocytes were approximately 250-270 μm in size. The egg-mass was a hat in shape, and a number of egg capsules were found in an egg-mass. An egg capsule was 0.53-0.57 mm in size. An embryo (veliger larva) hatched from an egg capsule. Percentage of first sexual maturity in females and males were over 50% for individuals that are 40.1-45.0 mm in shell radius, and 100% for those that are over 45.1 mm. The sex ratio of female to male was significantly different from 1:1 (χ2 = 57.22, p < 0.05).
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.
소라, Batillus cornutus의 난소구조와 난모세포 발달단계를 광학현미경과 투과전자현미경 (TEM) 을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 전라남도 완도군 연안에서 다이버에 의해 채집된 소라는 자웅이체로서 난소는 소화맹낭부에서 꼬리돌기 끝까지 간췌장의 외측을 싸고 발달되어 있었으며, 성숙 시기에 난소는 녹색을 나타내었다. 난소의 내부 구조는 다수의 난소소엽으로 구성되어 있었으며, 난소소엽은 상피세포와 간충결합조직으로 구성되어 있었다. 난원세포는 큰 핵과 전자밀도가 높은 인을 포함하고 있었다. 난황형성 전기의 난모세포는 세포질에 전자밀도가 낮았고, 작은 구형의 난황 과립이 산재해 있었다. 난황형성 개시기의 난모세포는 난병에 의해 난소소엽과 연결되어 있었으며, 투과전자현미경 관찰 결과, 세포질에는 잘 발달된 골지체, 조면소포체, 미토콘드리아와 같은 세포소기관과 전자밀도와 크기가 다양한 난황과립이 다수 존재하였다. 이들 난황과립의 전자밀도와 크기는 전단계의 난모세포보다 증가하였다. 후기 난황형성활성기의 난모세포의 난막 두께는 약 4.4 μm였다. 성숙한 난모세포는 세포질에 전자밀도가 높은 단백질성의 난황과립과 전자밀도가 낮은 지질성의 난황과립으로 가득 차 있었으며 두께 약 6.5 μm인 난막에 의해 둘러싸여 있었다.
The ovarian structure and ultrastructural changes in germ cells during oogenesis of the spiny top shell, Batillus cornutus, have been investigated by light and electron microscopic observations. Specimens of the spiny top shell were collected from the subtidal zone of Wando, south coast of Korea. Spiny top shell was dioecious. The ovary was located on the surface of the hepatopancreas in the spiral posterior region. The ovary had greenish color in the gonadal mature season. The ovary comprised many ovarian lobules, and the ovarian lobule consisted of connective mesenchymal tissue and epithelial cells. Oogonium had a large nucleus with nucleolus of high electron density. In previtellogenic oocyte, small yolk granules of low electron density were scattered in the cytoplasm. Oocytes in the initial vitellogenic stage were connected with the ovarian lobule by egg stalk. The result of TEM observations showed that initial vitellogenic oocyte contained well-developed Golgi complex, endoplasmic reticula, tubular mitochondria and numerous yolk granules of various electron densities and sizes. The electron density, size and quantity of yolk granules which were distributed in the active vitellogenic oocyte were increased compared to the previous stage. Thickness of egg envelope in the late active vitellogenic oocyte was approximately 4.4 μm. Cytoplasm of ripe oocyte was filled with proteid yolk globules of high electron density and lipid yolk globules of low electron density. In this stage, the thickness of egg envelope was approximately 6.5 μm.
본 연구는 국립수산과학원에서 2004년도부터 시작된 전복육종 프로그램 개발의 일환으로서, 전복 집단에서 개체에 대한 유전적 평가를 바탕으로 우량전복을 효과적으로 선발하기 위해 전복 성장 형질에 대한 초기 성장시기에 있어 각 종별 유전모수를 추정하였다. 실험에 사용한 한국산 북방전복과 둥근전복은 동해안, 남해안, 서해안 및 제주연안의 전국 11 개소로부터 자연산과 양식산으로 구분하여 수집한 후, DNA 분석에 의한 원거리 유연관계를 기초로 F1 세대의 반형매군을 생산하고 채묘후 5개월간 사육을 실시하였다. 이중 임의로 추출한 북방전복 76가계 (3,795 마리), 둥근전복 8가계 (399 마리) 에 대해 각장 (mm), 각폭 (mm) 및 중량 (g) 에 대해 측정을 실시하고, 유전모수는 성장관련형질인 각장, 각폭, 중량, 체형 및 비만도에 대해 추정하였다. 개체에 대한 성장형질에 영향을 미치는 효과분석을 위해 animal model에 의한 선형 혼합모형을 이용하여 SAS 통계 프로그램으로 통계분석을 실시하였다. 또한 EL-REML (restricted maximum likelihood) method를 전산 프로그램화한 REMLF90 (Misztal, 1990) 을 이용하여 다형질 혼합모형으로 유전모수를 추정하였다. 분석모형은 sire와 dam의 수집해역효과, 자연산 혹은 양식산 sire와 dam의 교배 효과, 생산시기 및 사육밀도를 고정효과로 하였다. 분석결과 초기성장시기인 채묘후 5개월령에서의 성장관련 형질은 북방전복에서 평균 ± 표준편차가 각각 각장 15.11 ± 4.04 mm, 각폭 10.64 ± 2.70 mm 및 중량 0.44 ± 0.33 g이었으며, 둥근전복에서는 각각 각장 14.56 ± 4.01 mm, 각폭 10.19 ± 2.67 mm 및 중량 0.40 ± 0.30 g 이었다. 채묘후 5개월령에서의 북방전복의 유전력은 각장, 각폭, 중량, 체형 및 비만도에서 각각 0.76, 0.78, 0.73, 0.20, 0.17로 추정되었다. 둥근전복의 각장, 각폭, 중량, 체형 및 비만도에 대한 유전력은 각각 0.89, 0.87, 0.89, 0.45, 0.01로 추정되었다. 이러한 결과로 보아, 북방전복과 둥근전복 모두 각장, 각폭 중량에서 고도의 유전력이 추정되어 개체선발만으로도 높은 육종효과가 기대되는 것으로 판단된다. 한편 북방전복과 둥근전복의 성장관련형질에 대한 유전상관은 각장과 각폭, 각장과 중량 및 각폭과 중량 간에 각각 0.99, 0.96, 0.96, 0.99, 0.99, 0.98로 추정되어 두 종 모두에서 형질들 간의 높은 유전상관을 나타내었다.
This study was conducted to estimate the general genetic parameters, heritabilities, and genetic and phenotypic correlations on growth-related traits by studying multiple trait animal model in two Korean abalone species, Haliotis discus hannai and H. discus discus. The data was collected from the records of 3,795 individuals produced from 54 sires and 74 dams in Haliotis discus hannai and 399 individuals produced from 7 sires and 7 dams in Haliotis discus discus. The data was evaluated by the Genetics and Breeding Research Center, National Fisheries Research & Development Institute (NFRDI). Genetic parameters were estimated for two abalone species raised in Bukjeju branch, NFRDI, from May 20 to November 1, 2004. The heritability estimates for growth traits of shell length, shell width and body weight obtained from restricted maximum likelihood (REML) were ranging from 0.73 to 0.78 in Haliotis discus hannai, and from 0.87 to 0.89 in H. discus discus. The heritabilities for shell shape and condition factor were ranging from 0.17 to 0.20 in Haliotis discus hannai, and from 0.01 to 0.45 in H. discus discus. Genetic and phenotypic correlations were over than 0.96 between shell parameters and weight in both of abalone subspecies, indicating that breeding for weight gains could successfully be achieved by selecting for shell length.
The amount of Batillus cornutus captured in Jeju Island was about 2,000 tons/year for three years after 2000. The mean size of B. cornutus by shell height was 7.7 cm in 2001, 7.9 cm in 2002, and 8.1 cm in 2003. Local mean size of B. cornutus by shell height was 8.7 cm in eastern waters, 7.4 cm in western waters, 7.8 cm in southern waters, and 7.7 cm in northern waters of Jeju Island. To investigate the effect of the growth pattern, an experiment was conducted: the samples were tagged and released in southern coastal waters of Jeju Island on 2nd April (a release test) and 29th October (a recapture test) in 2003. The release stations were two sites, natural reef and artificial reef, where their environmental conditions were different from each other. In April, the size of B. cornutus released in the natural reef was 6.2 cm in mean shell height, and 58.9 g in mean shell weight. The size of B. cornutus released in the artificial reef was 6.6 cm in mean shell height, and 65.9 g in mean shell weight. During the release period, most of B. cornutus were not moved much (less than 10 m) from the original release sites. When B. cornutus was recaptured in October after 7 months, the size of B. cornutus released in the natural reef became 7.4 cm in mean shell height, and 89.4 g in mean shell weight. The size of B. cornutus released in the artificial reef became 7.2 cm in mean shell height, and 84.9 g in mean shell weight. This indicates that the growth rate of B. cornutus released in the natural reef was higher than that of B. cornutus in the artificial reef. These differences in the growth of B. cornutus between study sites were ascribed to the abundance of marine algae grazed by immobile B. cornutus. Namely, with relatively high growth rate of B. cornutus in the natural reef, the number of species (23 species) and biomass (26,703.4 g) of algae were more diverse and abundant than those (7 species and 17,018.4 g) of algae in the artificial reef. The growth of B. cornutus in the natural reef was also correlated to high water temperature (15.5-25.9℃).
