Abstract

Carapace width (CW) of main size class of the snow crab was 70~90 mm for females and 80~100 mm for males. The CW holds a stronger relation with body weight than that of carapace length (CL). The number of eggs attached to the pleopods was in the range of 35,000 and 114,000 eggs in crabs with 65 and 88 mm CW, respectively). The logistic maturity curve on morphometric measurements and gonad examination, defined by the presence of egg brooding in wide abdomen of the female and spermatophores inside the vasa deferentia of the male indicated that 50 % of crabs attained gonadal maturity at 54.2 mm and 58.8 mm CW for females and males, respectively. In the relationship between CW and body weight, a sharp break at 53~55 mm CW indicates that morphological changes associated with maturity have occurred.

1997년 12월부터 1998년 3월까지 경상북도 영덕~울진 인근 해역의 수심 170~250 m에서 채집된 대게, Chionoecetes opilio의 크기조성에 따른 생태학적인 특징과 성숙에 대해 연구하였다. 갑폭 조성에서, 암컷과 수컷의 주 출현개체군은 각각 70~80 mm (60.1%), 80~90 mm (64.2%) 체급군이었다. 갑장 및 갑폭의 관계 (암컷 CL=0.951 CW+0.2033, 수컷 CL=0.9387 CW+2.0811)는 암수 모두 갑장에 비해 갑폭이 약간 끈 것으로 나타났으며, 갑폭과 체중의 관계 (암컷 BW=0.0123 CW$^{2.1693}$ , 숫컷 BW=0.0056 CW$^{2.3694}$)에서 체중의 변화는 동일 체급군에서 숫컷이 암컷보다 무겁게 나타났다. 또, 갑폭 64.9-96.0 mm에서 암컷의 평균 포란수(F=8.5285 CW$^{2.0498}$ )는 35,000~114,000개로 조사되었다. 갑폭에 대한 성숙개체 (암컷 외포란 및 난소 발달, 수컷 : vasa deferentia 관찰)의 비율은, 암컷의 경우 갑폭 54.2 mm 에서 약 50%, 갑폭 60.1 mm 이상에서는 100%였으며, 갑폭 42.3 mm 이하에서는 성숙개체가 관찰되지 않았다 수컷의 경우는 갑폭 58.8 mm, 72.0 mm 이상에서 각각 50%, 100%의 성숙개체 출현율을 나타냈으며, 갑폭 48.4 mm 이하에서는 성숙개체가 관찰되지 않았다.
