Abstract
This study was carried out to produce the seedling of the larvae and juveniles of pale chup, Zacco platypus (Cyprinidae) in terms of artificial hatching, feeding behavior and growth rates. The total lengths of the newly hatched larvae were 7.6~8.2mm (mean: 7.97mm). The hatched larvae rose to the surface 3 days after hatching. The larvae were fed Daphnia, rotifer, Artemia and powdered feed. Hatching experiments were conducted in jar incubators under the different water temperature conditions, $20~32^{\circ}C$. The highest hatching rate was at $26^{\circ}C$ after 47 hours. Jar incubators was the highest hatching rate (89%), and cage and Californian incubators were useful and relatively high hatching rates (>89%). The size of the larvae 50 days after hatching were 30.0mm (25.6~32.0mm). As the water temperatures was increased, the growth rate of the larvae was also increased. Especially, the growth rates were favorable over $26^{\circ}C$, but survival was the worst at $32^{\circ}C$. This species was quick to accept assorted feed after hatching. The assorted feeds for flounder and rockfish better than that of carp in reference to growth rate.
피라미의 종묘를 생산하기 위하여인공부화, 먹이, 성장을 조사하였다. 난황이 갓 흡수된 개체는 전장이 7.6~8.2mm(평균 7.97mm) 이었으며, 부화 후 3일만에 부상하였다. 부상 후 소형 물벼룩, 윤충류, 알테미아를 섭취하였으며, 초기용 인공 분말사료도 섭취하였다. $20~32^{\circ}C$의 온도조건에서 부화시험을 한 결과 부화율은 $26^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높았으며, 47시간이 소요되었다. 부화기의 형태 중에서는 부화병에서 부화율이 89%로 가장 높았으며, 그물상자 및 Californian 부화기에서도 부화율 80% 이상으로 높았다. 부화 후 50일간 사육 한 결과 30.0mm(25.6~32.0mm)로 성장하였다. 온도가 높을수록 자어의 성장이 빨랐는데, 특히 $26^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 성장이 양호하였다. 그러나, 생존율은 $32^{\circ}C$에서 가장 낮았다. 부화직후부터 배합사료만으로서 사육이 가능하였으며 알테미아나 잉어용 사료에 비해서 넙치 및 조피볼락용 사료에서 성장이 양호하였다.
