Abstract
Reproductive characteristics of Rhodeus pseudosericeus (Pisces: Acheilognathinae) was investigated at the Heukcheon (River), Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, Korea from January to July in 2012. This fish prefers heavily vegetated stagnant pool with Phragmites japonica and Salix koreensis and area with high proportions of sand and mud. The standard length of the population indicated that 13~22 mm group is 0-year old, 30~45 mm group is 1-year old, 45~55 mm group is 2-year old and 45~70 mm group is more than 3-year old (June in 2012). The sex ratio of female to male was 1 : 0.80. The spawning season was from March to June with water temperatures in the range $11.0{\sim}26.2^{\circ}C$. The embryos were found with no egg mass in Unio douglasiae sinuolatus and the number of those was 1~22 ($5.8{\pm}5.51$). The number of the embryos found in each of the four parts of the mussel gill was 1~9 ($2.7{\pm}2.16$) in left outer, 1~2 ($1.5{\pm}0.71$) in left outer, 1~5 ($1.8{\pm}1.79$) in left outer and 1~22 ($5.8{\pm}5.51$) in left outer.
