Abstract

Three spot gourami (Trichogaster trichopterus Pallas, 1770) is a teleost belonging to Belontiidae. The oogenesis of three spot gourami was investigated by light microscope. The ovary was of light peach color and ellipsoidal shape with the major axis 2 cm and the minor axis 1 cm. Cytoplasm of oogonia was basophilic and many nucleoli were located at inside of nuclear membrane. In primary oocyte, lipid droplets were distributed only in the marginal area first, than at nuclear envelope near. In secondary oocyte, the egg envelope was formed and yolk vesicles was formed in the marginal area. The basophilic substance of cytoplasm was changed to acidic. In case of matured egg, thickness of egg envelope and size of egg were increased. The yolk vesicles were changed to yolk mass in accordance with development. The fertilized eggs were the colorless, transparent, spherical, adhesive and pelagic type. A large oil droplet was located in vitelline membrane of the fertilized egg. In conclusion, the oogenesis of three spot gourami was characterized by the increase in cell size, the formations of lipid droplets and yolk, the decrease of basophilic substance in the cytoplasm, and formation of one large oil droplets.

경골어류 등목어과(Belontiidae)에 속하는 three spot gourami (Trichogaster trichopterus Pallas, 1770)의 난자형성과정을 광학 현미경으로 관찰한 결과는 다음과 같다. 난소는 한 쌍으로 흐린 살색의 아가미 쪽은 뾰족하고 생식공 쪽은 둥근 장타원형(장축 2 cm, 단축 1 cm)이었으며 부레와 창자 사이에 위치하고 있었다. 난원세포의 세포질은 호염기성이었고 핵 내에 다수의 인들이 분포하고 있었다. 난원세포의 세포질은 hematoxylin으로 매우 강하게 파란색으로 염색되었고 핵막을 따라서 여러 개의 인들이 분포하고 있었다. 발달함에 따라서 난원 세포의 세포질은 핵 쪽에서 세포막 쪽부터 hematoxylin의 염색 성이 낮아졌고, 제1난모세포는 난세포 세포질의 가장자리인 세포막 쪽에서 국한적으로 유구들이 형성되기 시작하였다. 제1난 모세포가 발달함에 따라서 유구들이 세포의 바깥 가장자리에서 증식되어 증가하기 시작하였고 작은 유구들이 핵막 근처에 집중 되어 형성되기 시작하였다. 제2난모세포는 발생이 진행됨에 따 라서 난막은 두꺼워져 뚜렷하게 관찰되기 시작하였고, 특히 유구 가 세포질 전체로 퍼져나갔다. 세포막 쪽의 유구 사이에 난황포 가 형성되기 시작했으며 난황포는 호산성으로 에오신에 의해서 적색으로 염색되어 관찰되었다. 성숙한 난자는 난자의 크기가 상당히 증가하였으며 난막이 뚜렷하고 핵은 염기성을 띠었다. 또한 난황포는 더욱 발달하여 적색으로 염색된 구형의 난황괴를 이루 고 있었다. 수정란을 광학현미경으로 관찰한 결과 중앙하단에 한 개의 큰 유구가 발견되었다. 이상과 같이 three spot gourami의 난자형성과정은 난세포의 크기 증가, 유구와 난황의 축적, 염기성 물질의 감소 및 큰 유구의 형성으로 요약될 수 있다.
