초록

논에 서식하는 미꾸라지는 겨울철 수분증발에 의한 토굴을 형성하였고 피부는 공기 중에 노출되었다. 이때 미꾸라지 피부의 점액세포 변화를 유발하는 환경요인을 분석하기 위하여 진흙과 물을 수조에 채운 후 약 1개월 동안 자연증발시켜 인위적인 토굴형성에 의한 미꾸라지 피부의 공기노출 실험을 여름철에 실시하였다. 그 결과, 공기 중에 피부가 노출된 미꾸라지의 등, 체측, 후두부의 피부 점액세포의 형태는 대부분 크고 길다란 원주세포형으로 변화하였고, 수량 역시 급격히 증가하였는데, 이러한 특정은 겨울철 자연상태에서 나타나는 전형적인 현상이었다.

During the winter, the rice field-dwelling muddy loach Misgurnus mizolepis is buried in burrows constructed of mud and are subjected to exposure to air at times of shortage of water. To investigate the environmental factors that lead to changes of the skin mucus cells of the muddy loach in rice fields, we carried out an experiment where we artificially exposure the fish to air, duplicating as close as possible winter conditions in nature. During the summer, a water tank containing M. mizolepis was filled with mud, and the water was allowed to evaporate. After a month of evaporation, the loach constructed burrows similar to those in a winter rice field. The epidermis in the experimental fish was mostly occupied by large elongated mucus cells, whose numbers drastically increased in all observed regions of the dorsum, lateral region, and the occiput. Such features are typically seen in fishes in wild habitats during the winter season.
