Hatching date, main spawning period and growth of juvenile marbled flounder (Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae) were determined by analysis of microstructure in otoliths. Marbled flounders were collected by a small beam trawl in Namhae from February 2011 to January 2012. The length (L, mm) was related to body weight (W, g); $W=9.76^*10^{-8}L^{4.39}$ ($r^2=0.93$). The length was also related to otolith radius (R, ${\mu}m$); L=0.0795R+0.2249 ($r^2=0.92$). The growth in length was represented by Gompertz growth curve; $L_t=135{\exp}\{-{\exp}[0.0103(t-116)]\}$ ($r^2=0.83$). The hatching date calculated from the number of daily growth increments in otoliths was between mid-December and mid-February.

음용수 처리공법으로 BPA를 분해하는 TiO$_{2}$광분해과정의 생물학적 안전성을 zebrafish(Danio Rerio, wild type)의 발생과 성장기를 통해 알아보았다. TiO$_{2}$ 광분해는 BPA를 제거하는 효과가 있었으며, TiO$_{2}$ 광분해 환경에서 부화된 자어의 경우 배발생 초기와 성장기, 성체시기에 형태적인 이상을 보이지 않았다. 그러나 항산화효소인 catalase 의 활성도는 발생초기와 부화 1, 5주에는 대조군에 비해 별다른 차이가 나타나지 않았으나 28주의 성체기에는 활성도가 절반 이하로 떨어지는 자체방어계의 이상을 보였다.

This study is aimed to search the possibility of developmental toxicity test using the zebrafish from the pesticide. We selected herbicides alachlor and butachlor, reported for fish toxicity, and insecticide fipronil reported for the high fish toxicity and the honey bee risk among the pesticides with high usability for the examples of the pesticides in this experiment. In this study, we showed those effects on the zebrafish embryo development by exposing different kinds of pesticide with different concentration and exposed time periods. As a result, the rates of hatching and abnormality of the zebrafish embryo after treatments of alachlor were increased in 24-48 hpf group, and the juvenile fishes in every group exposed to $40{\mu}M$ or more of alachlor displayed sever morphological changes such as bent tails, edema and activity failures. In case of the butachlor, the rates of hatching and the abnormality in 24-48 hpf group were higher than the other groups exposed in different time periods. The fatality before hatching was high in $40{\mu}M$ or more of butachlor treatment, and entire zebrafish embryos in 48 hpf group died before hatching. All the living juvenile fishes showed morphological changes as like as the treatment of alachlor. The rate of hatching and the survival of the zebrafish embryo by the fipronil were higher than other pesticides. However, morphological changes such as bent tails were observed from the most of living juvenile fishes. Therefore, the effects of three different pesticides with different concentrations and exposing time periods on the development of zebrafish embryos showed that all the pesticides effects were proportional to the concentration, and exposing time periods may cause the morphological abnormality.

Parental care of eggs of Chromis fumea (Tanaka) was observed by Skin Scuba gear in August 1995 off Cheju Island. The eggs and larval development were observed in the laboratory at Pukyong National University, Pusan. Eggs were deposited on a flat surface of hard substratum and formed a plain sheet of one layer of eggs. Males showed parental care of the eggs by hovering over the nest and attacking other fishes that approached the nest. The spawned eggs were transparent, elliptical in shape and measured 0.73~0.88 mm in long axis and 0.50~0.56 mm in short axis. An analysis by T-test of the long axis of the egg with time showed a significant difference (p<0.01). However, there was no significant difference in short axis with time. Eggs were reared at water temperatures of $23.0{\sim}25.5^{\circ}C$ and took about 4~5 days from embryonic body stage to hatching. The newly hatched larvae were 1.10~1.61 mm in notochord length (NL) had 21 myomeres, has closed mouth but open anus, preanus length was 45.8% of NL. Melanophores were distributed on the occipital region of head, the eye, the peritoneal region, and along the ventral contour. The larvae absorbed the yolk material and oil globule in 3~4 days after hatching and became postlarvae. On the third day after hatching, the larvae had attained 1.9~2.4 mm in NL, had 25 myomeres, and showed rapid growth. By the ninth day after hatching, the larvae had attained 2.9 mm in NL, had an swimbladder in the dorsal margin of ventral region, the preanus length was 37.9% of NL, and their melanophores were enlarged and reduced in number.

Early larval growth for total length (TL) and body weight (BW) in flesh prawn (Fenneropenaeus chinensis) was studied from hatching to 25 days after hatching. Mean total length at nauplius and zoea stages was 0.21-0.39 mm and 0.62-1.03 mm, respectively. Mean total length of mysis stage grew from 1.28 mm (9 days after hatching) to 5.98 mm (21 days after hatching). The increase of body weight during experimental period showed step by step growth pattern due to metamorphosis of this species. The relationship between BW and TL from hatching to 25 days after hatching was BW = 2E-5TL/sup 4.1707/ (r²= 0.9746).

This study was executed to know the effect of three differently controlled temperature conditions on Huanren brown frog (Rana huanrensis )'s growth in 2013. We've collected nine Huanren brown frog egg's sacs on Mt. Surak ($37^{\circ}40^{\prime}55.86^{{\prime}{\prime}}N$, $127^{\circ}05^{\prime}19.99^{{\prime}{\prime}}E$) in Seoul. We put those nine egg sacs in the controlled growth chambers under low temperature (LT, $5{\pm}2^{\circ}C$), medium temperature (MT, $10{\pm}2^{\circ}C$), and high temperature (HT, $13{\pm}2^{\circ}C$) conditions with three egg sacs, respectively. We measured the eggs' hatching rate, their hatching periods, and the size of the hatched individuals. The hatching rate was higher in MT (95.6%) and the rates of the other treatments were relatively lower but very similar such as LT (82.2%) and HT (82.6%). The three hatching periods were 10 days at HT, 14 days at MT and 23 days at LT. The body sizes of the hatched individuals were biggest at MT ($7.62{\pm}0.11mm$), smallest at LT ($6.82{\pm}0.10mm$) and medium at HT ($7.19{\pm}0.15mm$) (P-value ${\leq}0.0001$). From our results, we found that the various water temperatures could be very effective to Huanren brown frog eggs' hatch and growth including their body sizes. We suggest if we study more about the growth of Huanren brown adult frogs under similar temperature conditions for a long term period, it must be very helpful for conservation study about metamorphosis rate and size of adult frog as well as we could understand about the amphibians who are adapting to the climate change.

The primitive gonad development in Paralichthys olivaceus was classified into (ⅰ) primordial germ cell (PGC), (ⅱ) genital ridge type (GRT), (ⅲ) primitive gonad type I (PGT I) and (ⅳ) primitive gonad type II stages. In the control group, PGC was recognizable on the 3rd days after hatching, and the primodial gonad after 24th days, while it was around the 22nd day after hatching in the group exposed to PCBs 3.0 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L for 30 days. Likewise, the progress of kidney development was recognized in four stages; unitubular type of mesonephric duct (UTMD), the branched mesonephric duct (BMD), convoluted tubule formation (CTF) and glomerulus appearing (GA) stage. It was structurally completed between the 25th and 30th day after hatching in two groups. There was no significant difference (p>0.05) in the time scale of development of gonad, and kidney between control and the PCBs - exposed group.

La-Ce method is one of new geochronological methods developed recently. La and Ce are one of the rare earth elements, and, with Sm-Nd system. La-Ce system is very useful in understanding the evolution processes of crust and mantle. In this paper, I introduce the basic concept of the La-Ce method, and apply it in clarifying LREE pattern of source material of leuco-granitic gneisses from the Imweon area, Kangwon-do, and K-rich granite from the Anshan area in Liaoning Province, NE China. Sm-Nd data on the Anshan K-rich granites give an age of $3.16{\pm}0.06$ Ga($2{\sigma}$), with initial $^{143}Nd/^{144}Nd$=$0.50846{\pm}0.00005$ (${\epsilon}_{Nd}$=-1.5). On the basis of Ce and Nd isotopic ratio, leucogranitic gneiss and K-rich granite has been fractionated from the source material which had had similar to CHUR (chundritic uniform reservoir). And the initial ${\epsilon}_{Nd}$ value suggest that the crustal formation age of the Liaoning Province area, NE China was early Archean.

Morphology and distribution of the minute tubercles projected on the skin surface of larvae with its development was observed in the Korean bitterling, Acheilognathus koreensis, known as an endemic freshwater fish. The epidermis of the larvae consisted of a thin single layer, having smaller basophilic flat or round-flattened basal cells. In between the single cell layer, two or three layers were added and they consisted mainly of large epidermal cells just above basal cells. These large unicellular epidermal cells were mainly scale-shaped and rarely cone-shaped, and do not give any histochemical tests for mucosubstances. They were present in anterior region and most region of yolk sac. Whereas, vestigial epidermal cells were distributed in the body region and the caudal fin-fold region. These two kinds of epidermal cells, called minute tubercles, increased in number and height from Just to 8 days after hatching, but as the larvae develop gradually, they became to reduce. At 31days after hatching of free swimming stage and absolute absorption stage of the yolk sac, the minute tubercles did not exist on the whole skin of the larvae.
