의암호에 서식하고 있는 말조개의 성장과 산란생태를 파악하기 위하여, 2014년 3월부터 2015년 2월까지 상대성장식, 생식소 발달단계에 따른 생식주기와 군성숙도의 월별변화를 조사하였다. 각장에 대한 각고, 각폭, 전중, 육중간의 상대성장식에서 상관계수 (<TEX>$R^2$</TEX>) 는 0.814-0.944로 높은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 말조개의 생식소는 소화맹낭의 주변부와 족부로 연결되는 망상결체조직에 분포하며 자웅이체로, 성숙한 난과 정자는 수관을 통해 아가미 반새에서 수정되어 수정란을 아가미의 보육낭에서 부화시켜 체외로 방출하는 난태생종이었다. 서식 지역의 월별 평균수온은 <TEX>$3.9-25.9^{\circ}C$</TEX> 범위였다. 월별 비만도는 0.16-0.22 범위로 하계인 8월-9월에 낮은 값을 보이다가 10월부터 증가하여 11월과 1월에 0.22로 정점을 보였다. 월별 육중량비는 21.3-31.4%로 비만도의 월별 변화와 같은 경향을 나타내었다. 생식소지수는 0.00-4.00 범위를 나타내었고, 4월-7월까지 정점을 보인 후 8월부터 급격히 감소하였다. 생식년주기는 분열증식기 (11-1월), 성장기 (2-3월), 성숙기 (2-5월), 산란기 (4-9월), 회복기 (8-12월)로 구분되어 하계산란종이었다. 의암호산 말조개의 산란기는 4-9월 (주산란기 4-7월) 이였으며, 군성숙 각장은 29.4 mm였다.
The reproductive ecology of freshwater bivalve, Unio douglasiae in Lake Uiam were examined from March 2014 to February 2015. The gonads distributed in reticular connective tissue, the dioecious clams take an internal fertilization and fertilized eggs are stored in the foster-sack in the gills, then the hatched juveniles are released outside after an ovoviviparous process. The gonad index (GI) began to increase in April, reached the maximum value in July and to decrease in August. The reproductive cycle of U. douglasiae can be divided into five successive stages: multiplicative stage (November to January), growing stage (February to March), mature stage (February to May), spawning stage (April to September), recovery stage (August to December). The spawning periods were from April to September, and the main spawning occurred between April and July. The shell length at 50% group maturity was estimated to be 29.4 mm.
