The purpose of this study was to provide baseline ecological data for the conservation of the Manchurian trout habitat through the investigation of the growth status of Brachymystax lenok tsinlingensis, and Pearson's correlation analysis (PCA) between the B. lenok tsinlingensis population and the use of the land around Gyebangcheon stream. Sampling was conducted twice in July, September, and October 2018. During the July and September surveys, 882 individuals belonging to 13 species from six families were collected. The dominant species was Rhynchocypris kumgangensis and the subdominant species was Zacco koreanus. The total number of B. lenok tsinlingensis collected was 99. The results of the length-weight relationship in the B. lenok tsinlingensis population were analyzed with a regression coefficient b value of 3.1272 and a condition factor (k) value of 0.0006. Therefore, the growth condition of B. lenok tsinlingensis was regarded as fairly good. The QHEI(Qualitative habitat evaluation index) value in the B. lenok tsinlingensis habitat was 119.5(±0.5)-153.5(±0.5), indicating optimal-suboptimal conditions. As a result of the HIS (Habitat suitability index) analysis, it was confirmed that the optimal habitat for B. lenok tsinlingensis was 0.45-0.55m and >1 m in water depth, 0.55-0.65 m s^-1 in water velocity, and boulder in the substrate. The ratio of the land use in this study site was analyzed as 66.26-96.31% for forest and grassland areas, 0.00-23.79% for agricultural areas, 0.00-4.19% for urbanized areas, and 3.69-8.87% for others. Correlation analysis of the number of B. lenok tsinlingensis and various factors revealed statistically significant correlations between QHEI and forest and grassland areas, agricultural areas, and urbanized areas.

To investigate seasonal (summer and fall) daily movement of Brachymystax lenok tsinlingensis that inhabit in upper part of the Nakdong River, we attached radio tags to seven individuals (summer: BL1-2; fall: BL3-7) and monitored them at an interval of 2 h. The survey results revealed that the average movement distance per day (m) (${\pm}SD$) of B. l. tsinlingensis was $182.4{\pm}79.2m$, and most of the individuals migrated within 1 km as their habitat boundary. The maximum movement distance per day (m) and the home range (m) during summer season were $550.5{\pm}75.5m$ and $649{\pm}53m$, respectively, compared to $283.8{\pm}55.1m$ and $186{\pm}32m$ during fall season. From these findings, it can be inferred that B. l. tsinlingensis exhibits seasonal changes in the distance of daily movement; however, it generally covers short distances without leaving the habitat boundaries during both seasons. The seasonal daily movement of B. l. tsinlingensis established in this study is expected to be useful in preserving their population.

The telemetry of eight adult manchurian trouts (Brachymystax lenok tsinlingensis) in the upper part of the Nakdong River, which is the southern limit of distribution of manchurian trout on the Korean peninsula, was used to examine migration patterns and evaluate characteristics of over-wintering and the spawning season between December, 2007 and May, 2008. Based on the tracking data, the tagged fish showed a limited migration between adjacent pools, moving only up to $8.6m\;day^{-1}$ during the winter season (December to February). Hydraulic conditions of over-wintering pool areas were, ca. 1m depth, slow moving surface water with areas of sand and gravel. The migration of tagged individuals was successful, moving up to $96.2m\;day^{-1}$ during the spawning season. Two tagged individuals (BL4, BL6) exhibited upstream migration, whereas others showed downstream movements. The timing of upstream migration of the two individuals was consistent with an increasing phases of water level and discharge. The fishes migrating toward the down stream moved to the wide pool areas downstream, where they spent the summer season for the growth.

경골어류의 뇌하수체에서는 두 종류의 생식선자극호르몬 (FSH, LH)이 생산되며, 이 호르몬들은 공통적인 α 쇄와 특이적인 β 쇄를 가진다. 연어과 어종들에서, FSH는 난황형성과 정자형성의 역할을 하며, LH는 배우자의 최종성숙을 조절한다. 냉수성 고유어종인 열목어 (Brachymystax lenok)의 멸종을 방지하고 종묘생산을 원활히 하기 위하여 먼저 열목어의 GTHα, FSHβ 및 LHβ 쇄를 cloning하여 염기서열을 결정하였다. 열목어 GTHα, FSHβ 및 LHβ의 cDNA는 산천어의 해당 cDNA와 높은 상동성 (각각 84, 95, 98%)을 보였다. 다음으로 기능적인 생식선자극호르몬을 제작하기 위해서 2개의 쇄를 single-strand로 연결하여 진핵세포를 숙주로하는 시스템에서 생식선자극호르몬을 생산할 수 있는 구조체인 FSHβ-GTHα (235 amino acids) 와 LHβ-GTHα (240 amino acids)를 각각 재조합하였다. 또한 각각의 융합단백질 생산용 구조체의 3'-말단에는 단백질추출이 용이하도록 histidine×6 구조를 첨가하였다. 이상의 단일쇄 FSH와 LH 유전자재조합 산물을 포유동물 유래의 세포 (CHO-K1)에 liposome chemical을 사용하여 유전자도입 후 세포에서 분비되는 단백질을 모니터링하였다. 배지를 부분정제한 후 SDS-PACE로 조사한 결과, LH 재조합 유전자를 도입한 후 48-60 시간째에 약 25 kDa의 단백질로서 관찰되었다. 현재 FSH 재조합 유전자에 대해서도 조사중이며, 향후 이를 재료로 하여 기능형 생식선자극호르몬을 생산하고 추출하기 위한 연구가 계속적으로 수행 될 것이다.

경골어류의 뇌하수체에서는 두 종류의 생식선자극호르몬 (GTHs; FSH와 LH)이 생산된다. 이들 호르몬들은 공통적인 $\alpha$ 쇄와 특이적인 $\beta$ 쇄를 가진다 (Querat, 1995). 연어과 어종들에서, FSH는 난황형성과 정자형성의 역할을 하며, LH는 배우자의 최종성숙을 유도한다 (Blazquez et al., 1997; Swanson and Dittman, 1997). 냉수성 고유어종인 열목어의 멸종을 방지하고 번식시키기 위한 생명공학적 연구방법을 검토하기 위하여 GTH$\alpha$, FSH$\beta$와 LH$\beta$ 쇄를 발현벡터에 cloning하여 염기서열을 결정하였다.

Fishfauna were investigated in the Taebaeksan area streams. At the upper tributary of the Han River, 8 species of 4 families were collected and the dominant species was Rynchocypris oxycephalus. The two species, Rynchocypris kumgangensis and Silurus microdorsalis were Korean endemic species. Brachymystax lenok tsinlingensis, designated as a natural monument and vulnerable species was confirmed at the Jeongam-sa area streams At the upper streams of the Nakdong River, collected fishes were identified as 14 species of 7 families. The dominant Species was R. oxycephalus and subdominant Zacco temmincki. Korean endemic species were 8species(51.7%), Coreoleuciscus splendidus, Squalidus gracilis majimae, Microphysogobio yaluensis, Niwaella multifasciata, Silurus microdorsalis, Liobagrus mediadiposalis, Coreoperca herzi and Odontobutis platycephala. Brachymystax lenok tsinlingensis were confirmed at the Hyundong-Chon Stream and Baek-chon stream.

This study was performed to find out stomach contents of cold water fish such as Manchurian trout (Brachymystax lenok tsinlingensis) and River salmon (Oncorhynchus masou masou) in the Odae mountain area. Field survey was carried out 3 times by each season from May to October 2012 along the Gyebang stream and the Yangyang-Namdae stream at north-west mountain slope and north-east mountain slope of the Odae mountain area respectively. The result of digestive track analysis showed that food species of Manchurian trout were total individuals of 645 including 5 orders, 23 families, 39 species of benthic macroinvertebrates and 11 taxa of terrestial insects. And each IRI (Index of Relative Importance, %) value of food species by Manchurian trout was terrestial insects 37.0%, Trichoptera 36.4%, Ephemeroptera 20.0%, Diptera 3.9%, Plecoptera 2.7%, and Gordea <0.1%. While the River salmon fed on 1,186 individuals covering 4 orders, 20 families, 33 species of benthic macroinvertebrates and 6 taxa of terrestial insects including arachnid. Also IRI values by River salmon were terrestial insects including arachnid 2.7%, Ephemeroptera 52.9%, Trichoptera 27.9%, Diptera 9.4%, and Plecoptera 7.0% respectively. With these results, we might say that both Manchurian trout and River salmon is carnivorous fish which display the feeding preference to terrestial insects and benthic macroinvertebrates. As a results we could find out that the two kinds of cold water fish preferred similar habitat types and liked same order of food species in same season, however the compositions of food species for Manchurian trout and River salmon were considerably different.

The complete sequences of mtDNA control regions of six salmonines were determined: 1089 bp in lenok (Brachymystax lenok); 999 bp in cherry salmon (Oncorhynchus masou masou) and Ishikawa's cherry salmon (O. masou ishikauiae); 1002 bp in chum salmon (O. keta), and 1003 bp in rainbow trout (O. mykiss) and an albino mutant of rainbow trout. The estimated interspecific sequence divergences from PCR/direct sequencing data ranged from 5.42% to 16.49%. The organization of this region is similar to that of other vertebrates. A 81 bp tandemly repeated sequence, associated with length variation was observed in the 3' end of the salmonids control region in this study. In addition, The phylogenetic tree based on the control region sequences supported that cherry salmon was closer to chum salmon than to rainbow trout, while lenok was most distantly related species among six salmonines.
