초록

이 논문은 국내에서 발견된 잡종 바다거북 (Caretta caretta ${\times}$ Chelonia mydas)에 대한 첫 번째 보고이다. 2012년 5월 7일 바다거북류 한 개체(JST01)가 제주도 동쪽해안에서 사체로 발견되었다. 국내에서 빈번하게 관찰되는 바다거북류 두 종(C. caretta and C. mydas)과 JST01의 외부형태를 비교한 결과, 채색, 등갑의 형태, 부리(upper beak)의 모양, 연갑판에 거치 그리고 앞발 발톱 개수 등의 외부형태는 C. caretta와 일치하였다. 반면, 연갑판, 서계갑판 그리고 늑갑판의 수, 용골이 없는 매끈한 등갑, 늑갑판과 정갑판이 접촉하지 않는 점 등은 C. mydas의 특징과 일치하였다. 결론적으로 C. caretta와 C. mydas의 외부형질들을 복합적으로 가지고 있는 JST01은 서로 다른 두 종간에 생겨난 교잡종이라 판단된다. 이상의 결과는 바다거북류에서 나타나는 잡종형성에 대한 연구에 중요한 기초자료가 될 것이다.

In this study, we report for the first time a hybridization between Caretta caretta and Chelonia mydas in South Korea. On 7th May 2012, a sea turtle (Jeju sea turtle 01, JST01) was found in the east coast of Jeju Island, South Korea. The morphological characteristics of JST01 were compared with those of C. caretta and C. mydas that were frequently observed in Korean Seas. Interestingly, JST01 showed similar morphological characters such as body color, appearance of carapace, shape of upper beak, serration on marginal scute, and two claws with those of C. caretta. On the other hand, JST01 showed also similar patterns in several characteristics including the numbers of marginal, inframarginal and costal scute, smooth carapace without keel, no contact between costal scute and nuchal scute with those of C. mydas. From these results, we suggest that JST01 is one of hybrid animals bred between C. caretta and C. mydas, because JST01 has species-specific characters from both species. We anticipate that our study would be useful and have significant impact onto study inter-specific hybridization in the groups of sea turtle.
