한국산 가물치[Channa argus (Cantor);가물치목, 가물치과]의 핵형분석

Karyotype Analysis of Korean Spotted Serpent Head [Channa argus (Cantor); Channiformes, Channidae]

Karyotypes of Korean spotted serpent head [Channa argus (Cantor)] were analyzed to obtain a basic information on the cytogenetics of this fish. Diploid chromosome numbers were found to be 48, of which 2 were submetacentric, 10 were submeta- or subtelocentric, and 26 were acro- or telocentric chromosomes without notably hetermorphic sex chromosomes. Cytogenetical implications of the results are discussed.
