Abstract
We reviewed sex-change patterns in the wrasses Halichoeres poecilopterus, H. tenuispinis, Pteragogus flagellifer, and Pseudolabrus sieboldi inhabiting the coastal waters of Jeju, Korea, based on the sex distribution according to standard length and sex characteristics of the gonads. Halichoeres poecilopterus, H. tenuispinis, Pt. flagellifer, and Ps. sieboldi are protogynous hermaphroditic fish. Histological observations revealed that these wrasses are undelimited type 2 species because testicular tissue(spermatogenesis area) appears in most parts of the gonads during ovary of degenerative stage. Both initial- and terminal-phase males were present in the investigated populations, indicating that Halichoeres poecilopterus, H. tenuispinis, and Ps. sieboldi are of the diandric type. In contrast, Pt. flagellifer is considered a monandric type, because all males in the investigated populations were terminal-phase males produced via sex change from functional females.
제주 연안에 서식하는 용치놀래기, 어렝놀래기, 황놀래기, 놀래기를 대상으로 체장에 따른 성 분포와 생식소의 성 특성을 조직학적으로 탐색하여 성 전환 양상을 조사 비교하였다. 용치놀래기, 어렝놀래가, 황놀래기, 놀래기는 자성선숙형 자웅동체어로 조직학적 관찰 결과 정소조직(정자형성부위)이 퇴화기 난소의 전역에 출현하는 혼재형 2에 속하는 어종이었다. 용치놀래기, 황놀래기 그리고 놀래기는 1차 수컷과 2차 수컷이 존재하는 복웅성 어류이고, 조사된 어렝놀래기는 암컷이 수컷으로 성 전환된 2차 수컷만이 출현하는 단웅성 어류로 사료된다.
