We investigated the effects of breed, laying age, and egg storage period on the vitality of chicks using the Hwanggalsaek Jaeraejong, Korean Rhode Island Red, and Korean White Leghorn chicken breeds. Their eggs were collected during the early laying period (27~29 weeks) and late laying period (50~52 weeks) and were stored for 3 days, 7 days and 14 days. After the eggs hatched, the hatching time, production performance, and organ weight of chicks were investigated. IL-6 gene expression level and relative length of telomeres were analyzed to determine the physiological activity of the chicks. HSP gene expression level and heterophil to lymphocytes ratio were also analyzed to examine the degree of stress response in the chicks. The results showed that breed and laying age influenced the vitality of chicks, but the egg storage period did not. Korean Leghorn chicks were considered the weakest breed in terms of vitality owing to their low survival rate, small heart size, low physiological activity, and high stress response level. Although the survival rate of chicks produced in the early laying period was low, their high physiological activity and low stress response indicated that they had a high vitality than the chicks produced in the late laying period. In conclusion, to obtain chicks with high vitality, it would be desirable to select a high vitality breed and avoid the use of chicks produced in the late laying period.

This study was carried out to survey and confirm the occurring sites of Parnassius bremeri in Korea, and to investigate ecological characteristics to develop a mass rearing technique. In the field survey, adults were found in the two previously known sites in Gyungnam Province and another site was newly found in Samcheok, Gangwon Province. Emergence period of adults was from middle of May to middle of June. Oviposition took place on various material, including hostplant, debris, dead leaves, etc. Eggs were laid singly, up to 126.7 eggs per female. The egg-period was 221.3${\pm}$2.3 days, eggs were hatched from 11th to 22nd of January in the natural condition, and started to feed for about 10 days after hatching. Survival rate of the 1st larvae was 67.6%. Developing period of each instar in the insectary (25$^{\circ}C$, 75% RH, 16L:8D) was 11.2 days for the 1st instar, 7.3 days for 2nd, 12.8 days for 3rd, 16.2 days for 4th, and 18.2 days for 5th, and the pupal period was 21.3 days. The average longevity of adults was 26.2 days. Oviposition rate was higher in the natural condition with enough space to fly for 3♀ : 1 ♂ coupled, at least 3 ${\times}$ 3${\times}$4 m-sized room, than in smaller cage. In a comparison of the preference for visiting on sugar source, black sugar and fructose were effective.

This study was carried out to test the effects of temperatures between 2$0^{\circ}C$ and 3$0^{\circ}C$ on the reproduction and development of the rice water weevil, Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus. Preoviposition periods were much longer (17.2 to 51.0 days) in the overwintering adult females collected in March than those collected in May, regardless of temperature. Oviposition periods, however, were longer (16.9 to 22.0 days) in the adult females collected in May than those collected in March at the same temperatures. The longer oviposition period observed in the females collected in May were directly associated with higher fecundity. Egg periods were shortened from as temperature increased, but the hatching rate was highest (100%) at 27$^{\circ}C$. The developmental periods from egg to adult were shortened as temperature increased : from 77.9 days at 2$0^{\circ}C$ to 38.3 days at 3$0^{\circ}C$. The developmental zero point temperature (T) and the total effect temperature (K) for egg were 16.3$^{\circ}C$ and 62.1 dgree days, respectively. The T and K from egg to adult emergence were 13.9$^{\circ}C$ and 577.6 dgree days, respectively. The adult females of the first generation did not oviposit at 2$0^{\circ}C$, but did at $25^{\circ}C$ and 3$0^{\circ}C$. The intrinsic rate of natural increase (r$_{m}$) increased as temperature augmented. Net reproductive rate (Ro) per generation was highest (75.3) at $25^{\circ}C$.>.

To establish the successive rearing of red-striped golden stink bug, Poecilocoris lewisi Distant, developmental characteristics, host plant and oviposition preference were investigated. Raw peanuts were supplied to the insect as a substitute food at 25$\pm$$1^{\circ}C$, 60$\pm$5% R.H. and under 16Lㆍ8D photo regimen. Total developmental period was 48 days: 8.2$\pm$0.4, 5.4$\pm$0.2, 8. $\pm$0.5, 6.4$\pm$0.4, 7.4$\pm$0.3 and 12.6$\pm$0.8 days for egg, first though fifth instar, respectively. The instar survival rate was 57.1% and the sex ratio was estimated to be 53 : 47 (male : female). Adult longevity was on the average 30.8 in male and 35.4 days in female, respectively. Egg of P. lewisi was globular ($\phi$1.8-1.9mm) with milky white in color The number of eggs oviposited per clutch was mostly 14. Pre-oviposition period was 25.8 days and mean frequencies of oviposition were 4.4. Female preferred to oviposit on the host plant when available, but oviposited on the artificial leaf successively when the host is not around. On the other hand P. lewisi preferred to suck the nectar of stem or fruit of Phellodendron amurense Ruprecht, Zanthoxylum schinifolium Siebold et zuccarini, Cornus officinalis Siebold et zuccarini and Cornus controversa Hemsley among the 18 plant species tested.

The von Bertalanffy growth function (VBGF) is the result of the antagonistic effects of anabolism and cataboliem. However VGBF has limitations for describing the growth of continuous spawning fishes. In the present work, a new equation is proposed where the growth parameter Kis substituted by a function related to the sea surface temperature of spawning period. Examples for natural population of Pacific Anchovy are presented.

우리나라 축산업이 과학적인 축산으로 변모하는 과정에서 선도적 역할을 해온 것이 양계분야인 만큼 생산성적에 있어서도 어느 타 선진국에 뒤지지 않을 만큼 높아지고 있다. 그러나 사료원료의 해외 의존도가 높고 개방경제시대에 접어들음으로서 외국의 양계산물과 경쟁을 벌리게 되는 이 시점에서 생산비중 가장 높은 비율을 차지하는 사료를 가장 경제적으로 이용함으로서 생산 효율을 극대화시킬 책임이 우리에게 있다. 우리나라의 년 중 기온차이가 심하고 대부분의 산란계가 유창계사에서 사육되고 있는 만큼 계절에 따른 온도 변화에 맞추어 계절 사양을 함으로서 하절기에는 영양소 결핍현상을 방지하고 동절기에는 영양소 과다 섭취로 인한 영양소 허실을 줄일 수 있다. 난중에 따른 난가 형성이 되는 시장 상황에서 난중을 조절함으로서 생산효율을 높일 수 있다. 비록 난중이 생리적인 현상에 의해서 결정되지만 닭이 섭취하는 아미노산과 지방의 함량을 증감함으로써 어느 정도의 난중조절이 가능하다. 산란율과 난중에 영향을 미치지 않는 범위에서는 산란계의 체중이 작을수록 경제성이 있다. 가급적 육성기간중의 사료비를 줄이고 성계 체중을 줄이는 방법으로 육성기간중의 사료비를 줄이고 성계 체중을 줄이는 방법으로 육성기간중 단백질 점증법이 시험되고 있다. 이러한 육성체계를 보급화 하기에 앞서서 좀 더 많은 비교 시험이 필요하리라 본다. 사료 원료의 영양가를 정확하게 평가하는 것은 닭이 필요로 하는 영양소 요구량을 충족시키기 위한 필수조건이 된다. 단지 영양성분의 화학분석만으로 사료배합에 임하지 말고 생물가를 측정함으로서 닭이 섭취하는 영양소의 이용률이 함께 고려하여야 한다.

Larval development and adult oviposition of the Oriental tobacco budworm, Heliothis assulta were examined with tobacco leaves sprayed with aqueous or ethanolic extracts from ten selected wild plant species. High larval mortality was observed with extracts from Rhamnus davurice. Persicaria hydroPiPer, Forsythia koreana, Trifolium repens, Styrax japonica, Ginkgo bi/oba, and vilis amurensis. Most of larval mortality occurred during first and second instar, apparently due to antifeeding effects of plant extracts. These extracts also prolonged developmental period of survived larvae and increased the number of larval molts. Oviposition was not affected as much as the larval mortality, but Rhamnus davurice and Styrax jaPonica extracts reduced the number of eggs laid by more than fifty percent.

Sunflower, selected as a trap plant that can be controlled by attracting Ricania spp. adults via attraction has the highest attractiveness during the preoviposition period. Considering the ecological characteristics of Ricania spp., adults are distinguished by the preoviposition and oviposition periods and the attractiveness of sunflower to Ricania spp. adults was 91.4~95.2% higher than that of blueberry during the preoviposition period. On August 20, when Ricania spp. adults entered the oviposition season, sunflower attractiveness was low at 9.8~11.6% owing to preference for tree species. Based on the result of the selection of systemic chemicals that could be used concomitantly with sunflower, all chemicals, except etofenprox, showed a high controlling effect of over 90%, and among them, dinotefuran showed the highest insecticidal rate of 95.8%. The systemic chemicals acetamiprid, dinotefuran, thiamethoxam, and imidacloprid persisted for 13 days (survey period). Therefore, the concomitant use of sunflower and systemic chemicals can reduce the density of Ricania spp. entering farmlands and their populations in surrounding habitats, which are expected to help in stabilizing the ecosystem.

The ovipositional characteristics of the endangered species Prosopocoilus astacoides blanchardi was investigated for indoor mass-rearing. This insect required 3 weeks or more for mating after emergence when introduced at the 1:1 ratio of male to female. Among temperatures studied at 16, 20, 24, 28, and 32℃, the pre-ovipositional period of P. astacoides blanchardi was longest at 16℃ with an average of 109 days after emergence, while it was shortest at 32℃ with an average of 59.4 days. The number of eggs laid at 24℃ was highest with an average of 40.6 per female. The average lifespan of adults at 16℃ was 208.8 days for males and 263.9 days for females, while at 32℃ 96.1 days for males and 130.3 days for females. The number of laid eggs was dependent on insect rearing chamber size. The oviposition-trees did not significantly (P > 0.05) affect the number of laid eggs and ovipositional period. The results of this study could be used as rearing data for the restoration and mass propagation of the endangered species P. astacoides blanchardi.
