Abstract

Clownfish are important and very popular fish in the ornamental aquarium industry. Demand for the fish is increasing dramatically. The present study was conducted to verify methods of broodstock management, patterns of spawning, rates of egg hatching and estimates of larval growth fur the saddleback clownfish, Amphiprion polymnus. Spawning occurred 8 times between August 2002 to June 2004 with 2 females and 1 male participating. Fertilized eggs were separated by an adhesive matrix and were oval in shape. The eggs were $2.46{\pm}0.13mm$ in size as measured along the longest axis. The percentage of fertilized eggs was 96.7%. Hatching was observed seven days post-spawning and hatching rate was 85.5%. The sizes of the newly-hatched larvae were $4.58{\pm}0.21mm$ TL (total length). Larvae had an open mouth and anus, and an oval yolk sac. At the 1 st day after hatching, the sizes of the larvae were $4.90{\pm}0.35mm$ TL. The larvae began to eat rotifers after complete yolk absorption. On the 5th day post-hatch, larvae were $5.88{\pm}0.31mm$ TL with complete fins and the survival rate was 48.6%. At 8 days after hatching, a band began to appear on head and back of the larvae indicating the beginning of metamorphosis. Metamorphosis was completed at an average TL of $15.00{\pm}2.12mm$ on the 23rd day after hatching. By the 45th day after hatching, juveniles averaged $22.76{\pm}3.22mm$ TL and survival rate was 28.4%.

Clownfish는 세계적으로 해양수족관과 관상어 애호가들의 사랑을 받는 주요 종으로 점차 그 수요가 점점 증가하고 있다. 태국 Burapha대학에서 이식해 온 부화 후 2개월 된 saddleback clownfish, Amphiprion polymnus 2마리(S1, S2)와 2004년 5월에 인도네시아로부터 이식한 5마리$(S3{\sim]S7)$를 사용하여 인공종묘 생산 기술 개발을 목적으로 어미의 관리, 산란과 난 발생 및 자치어의 성장과 사육에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. S1과 S2의 첫 산란은 부화 후 2개월째인 2002년 8월 11일 이었고, 이 때 S1의 전장은 11.4 cm, S2는 8.8 cm였다. 이후 2003년 10월까지 7회의 산란이 일어났으나, 모두 수정이 되지 않았다. 2003년 11월에 수컷 행동을 해온 S2가 폐사하여 생식소를 확인한 결과 미숙한 단계의 암컷이었다. 2004년 5월에 인도네시아산 5마리(전장 $5.2{\sim}8.5cm$)를 S1이 있는 수조에 수용한 결과 S1과 S3가 짝을 지었고, 수용 32일째에 산란이 일어났다. 알은 타원형으로 알색은 선홍색이었고 침성점착란 이었다. 수정란은 장경 $2.46{\pm}0.13mm$, 단경 $0.96{\pm}0.03mm$이었고, 수정률은 96.7%였다. 수정난의 발생은 수온 $26{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$에서 수정후 1시간 40분에 2세포기, 5시간 40분후에는 상실기에 이르렀고 수정 후 23시간 후에는 배체를 형성하였다. 부화는 산란 7일째(수정 후 $152{\sim}155$시간)소등 후 $1{\sim}3$시간사이에 대부분이 일어났으며 부화율은 85.5%였다. 부화자어의 전장은 $4.58{\pm}0.21mm$로, 입과 항문이 열린 상태였다. 부화 후 1일째 자어는 난황이 완전히 흡수된 상태로 rotifer를 먹기 시작하였으며, 전장은 $4.90{\pm}0.35mm$였다. 부화 후 5일째 자어는 전장 $5.88{\pm}0.31mm$, 생존율은 48.6% 이었고 부화 후 8일째 자어는 변태를 시작하여 부화 후 23일 째에 평균 전장이 $15.00{\pm}2.12mm$에서 변태가 완료되었다. 부화 후 45일째 치어는 전장이 $22.76{\pm}3.22mm$, 생존율은 28.4%였다.
