To establish an alternate technology for all male seed production of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus at hatchery scale, the performance of progenies produced by crossing superfemale with sex reversed male was evaluated. Free crossings between 21 superfemales and 7 sex reversed males stocked in an aquarium for 60 days resulted in the production of 93.5 % male progenies, compared to 53.2 % males produced by an equal number of normal females and normal males. Spawning frequency was lower (19 times) in the experimental cross including superfemales than that (24 times) in the control including normal females. Seed production in the experimental aquarium was (3,085) significantly lower than that (3,797) of the control. Both in terms of seeds per female per day or seeds per g female per day, seed productivity did not significantly differ between these groups. The alternate technology involving crossing between superfemale and sex reversed male has proven to be an efficient alternate technology for mass production of all male seeds at the hatchery scale.

All-female diploid Paralichtlrys olivaceus populations were produced by the artificial fertilization with the normal eggs and gynogenetic diploid males sperms. All-female triploids were also conducted to the fertilized eggs by cold shock. Floating, fertilization and hatching rates of the all-female diploid eggs were not significantly different from that of the diploid control eggs (P>0.05). All-female triploids were also not significantly different from their diploid controls or all-female diploid groups (P>0.05) in the floating and fertilization rates of eggs. However, hatching rates of all-female triploid groups were lower than that of the control (P<0.05). Induction of the triploids were confirmed by the measurement of erythrocyte sizes and by the chromosome counts. The volumes of erythrocytes and nucleus of triploid were larger than those of diploids, respectively. Percent incidences of triploid were $92.6\%$ in this experiment. The chromosome number of diploids and triploids showed 2n=48 and 3n=72, respectively, and their karyotypes were consisted of all acrocentric chromosomes. The gonads of 4-month-old triploids were histologically sterile.

A study was carried out to test sex ratio of the progeny that were induced by the artificial fertilization between normal female and gynogenetic diploid eggs and sex-reversed gynogenetic diploid male sperm. Sex reversed gynogenetic diploid males were produced successfully in gynogenetic diploid female by immersion treatment with $17{\alpha}$-methyltestosterone at the concentration of 10 pub from $13.5{\pm}0.22$ mm to $57.6{\pm}5.1$ mm in total length. In $F_1$ progeny test, matings between normal females and sex-reversed gynogenetic males were not produced all female, but matings between gynogenetic diploid females and sex-reversed gynogenetic males were produced all female populations in six out of eight groups and two lots produced $96.9\%$ and $95\%$ female. These data showed that all-female populations were produced by crossing between gynogenetic diploid female and sex reversed gynogenetic diploid male.

Energy budget of mysid shrimp, Neomysis intermedia in Lake Kyongpo was determined at constant temperature (2$0^{\circ}C$). Energy used by reared mysids were calculated from data on feeding, growth, molting, reproduction, and metabolism. The Energy used by growth of juvenile and adult were 6.87 cal in females of 8.55mm in length, and 5.67 cal in males of 7.53mm in length, respectively. Molting losses were estimated to be 0.46 cal in females and 0.38 cal in males from juvenile to adult. Energy used in respiration were estimated to be 48.48 cal in females and 36.45 cal in males from juvenile to adult. The energy intakes from feeding were 84.15 cal in females and 67.09 cal in males from juvenile to adult. Energy losses by excretion were 10.36 cal in females and 6.46 cal in males. Thus, females assimilated 86.65% and males 81.99% of assimilated energy in somatic growth. The gross growth efficiencies (k1) showed 8.71% for females and 9.02% for males and the net growth efficiencies (k2) showed 10.05% for females and 12.36% for males. Maintenance costs were estimated at 66.48% of assimilated energy in females and 66.26% in males. Molting losses among the energy assimilated from juvenile to adult were estimated to be 0.63% in males and 0.69% in females.

Using skeletochronology in the Daejung-eup, Jeju, we determined the age structure of Kaloula borealis. The study was performed during the breed season in June 2009. We measured the snout-vent length(SVL) and body weigth(BW) and analyzed the age structure of 38 male and 58 female frogs. The mean value of SVL is $43.69{\pm}3.44mm$ in males and $46.32{\pm}4.23mm$ in females. The age at first reproduction was estimated to be 2 years of age in males and 3 years in females. The oldest males and females were 8 and 10 years of age, respectively. Therefore, the longevity in this species was estimated to be more than 8 years for males and 10 years for females. So, females live longer than males. Also, this difference between the male and the female in age structure was significant. We estimated the growth curve for Kaloula borealis using von Bertalanffy growth model. The growth coefficient (K) was 0.56 in male and 0.41 in female. The asymptotic size was 46.41 mm in male and 50.22 mm in female.

은어는 암컷의 성장이 수컷보다 빠르고, 성숙 시 수컷의 상품가치가 크게 하락하므로 실제 양식 현장에서는 전 암컷 종묘의 생산이 절실히 요구되고 있다(방 등, 1997). 호르몬에 의한 암컷 종묘의 생산방법이 연구되었으나 암컷 유도율이 매우 낮고, 성전환된 수컷을 친어로 이용하여 단순교배에 의한 전 암컷 집단을 생산하는 유전학적 성전환 방법이 아직 확립되지 않았다(고교, 1993).유전학적 성전환을 위해 웅성호르몬 처리에 의한 phenotypic male (genetic female)을 생산하여야 하는데 본 종은 수컷으로의 성전환이 매우 어려운 종으로 알려지고 있다. 따라서 정확한 성전환 처리 방법을 구명하기 위해서 우선 성 분화 과정을 조직학적 방법으로 조사하는 것이 필요하다.

Factors influencing spawning or respawning conditions of the bitterling, Acheilognathus signifer were investigated in the aquariums. Inducing the female spawning was more sensitive to the mussel than the male. The ovipositor of the female was periodically elongated and reduced from 4 to 6 days with the presence of mussel. During of the elongated state of the ovipositor was 1 to 2 days. As the result of natural spawning in the aquariums, it takes 1 to 3 days (mean 1.6) to spawn. The most important factor to respawn spawned females again was the mussel. It takes 11 to 53 days (mean 29.5) from extraction to reextraction of females which have elongated ovipositor. The egg numbers of reextraction were 2 to 41 (mean 19). This experiments showed the tendency the more standard length of females grows, the more the number of extracted eggs increases.

For development of all male seed production at hatchery scale, a comparative study was made on the seed production traits of supermale (IT - t) and superfemale (IT - L1 ~) Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. Supermales were crossed with normal females (XX- f) and the superfemales with normal males (XY - t ) or sex reversed males (XX- L1 t); progeny survival of these crossings and sex ratio were evaluated. Hatching success of the eggs, fertilized by the supermale was significantly lower than that by the normal male. Over 95-99 % progenies sired by crossing supermales with normal females were males, while 52-55 % progenies alone were males with the cross of normal males and normal females. Hatching success and survival of alevins were significantly higher for the progenies of the crosses between superfemales and sex reversed males than those resulting from the crosses between superfemales and normal males. However, there was no significant difference in the sex ratio among the progenies of these crosses. Therefore, crossings of superfemales with sex reversed males provide the highest percentage of survival and male progenies.

Gynogenetic males induced from sex reversed female (${\Delta}XY$) were crossed with normal female (XX) for analysing their genotypes. The fish tested produced a high percentage of male progenies (93.3 to $100\%$) and were considered as supermales (YY). Superfemales (${\Delta}YY$) were also produced by combination of sex reversal and chromosome manipulation techniques. Superfemale fish can be produced approximetly $90\%$ of male when the fish were crossed with normal male. Chi-square values against an expected 1 : 1 (male : female) ratio were highly significant for both YY males${\times}$ normal females (P<0.01 or P<0.001) and ${\Delta}YY$ females${\times}$normal males (P<0.005 or P<0.001). All male progenies were produced consistently when crossed supermales (YY) with superfemales (${\Delta}YY$).
