The Effect of Salinity, Temperature and Diet on Larval Growth and Survival of Metapenaeopsis dalei (Rathbun) (Decapoda: Penaeidae)

산모양깔깔새우 (Metapenaeopsis dalei) 유생의 염분, 수온 및 먹이조건에 따른 성장 및 생존율

Larvae of Metapenaeopsis dalei (Rathbun) were successfully spawned and reared in the laboratory under controlled conditions. The experiments were designed to examine effects of salinity (20, 25, 30 and 35), temperature (21, 24 and $27^{\circ}C$ ) and food (five items) on larval development, survival and growth, Salinity affected larval survival, from $\%$ at 20, to $60\%$ at 35 (protozoea 1 to first postlarva), The highest survival rate was obtained at $35\%_{\circ}$. Temperature affected larval survival, from $46\%$ at $27^{\circ}C$ to $54\%$ at $21^{\circ}C$(protozoea 1 to first postlarva). The highest survival rate was obtained at $24^{\circ}C$. Mortality was the highest from protozoea 1 to protozoea 3, but decreased considerably for all temperatures once the mysis stage was reached. Larval growth was affected by different of food items. Phytoplankton (Isochrysis galbana) was the optimum food for the larval survival and the growth from protozoea 3 to first postlarva.

실험에 사용한 성숙한 난소를 가진 산모양깔깔새우 (Metapenaeopsis dalei)는 1999년 8월 11일 충남 외연도 근해에서 새우조망을 이용하여 채집하였다. 산란한 유생을 4개의 염분구간과 3개의 수온구간 및 5개의 다른 먹이 조건에서 사육하여 이들의 생존율과 성장률을 비교하였다. 염분조건에서는 채집지의 염분과 유사한 30과 35에서 생존율이 높았고, 수온 조건에서는 산란 수온$24^{\circ}C$에서 생존율이 가장 높았다. 먹이 조건 실험에서는 식물성먹이에서 생존율과 성장이 동물성을 투여한 실험구보다 높았다.
