Reproductive cycle and sex ratio of the marsh clam Corbicula japonica, a oviparous clam, were investigated monthly by histological observation. Samples were collected in brackish water of Namdae stream on the east coast of Korea from November 2000 to October 2001. It was able to devide the reproductive cycle of this species into five successive stages; early active (April to June), late active (May to June), ripe (June to August), partially spawned (June to September), spent (September to January) and resting stage (February to April). The spawning period was from July to September, and the main spawning occurred between August and September when seawater temperatures reached above 26$^{\circ}C$. Mature eggs of Corbicula japonica were 60-70 ${\mu}m$ in diameter. The sex ratio of individuals over 10.1 mm in shell length was about 1:1 (x$^2$ = 1.22, p > 0.05).

1. 수온과 염분에 따른 부유유생의 성장과 생존율. 유생의 수온별 사육실험 결과, 3$0^{\circ}C$에서는 실험시작 6일 후 모두 폐사하였으며, 18$^{\circ}C$에서는 높은 생존율에 비하여 늦은 성장을 보였다. 24$^{\circ}C$와 27$^{\circ}C$에서 빠른 성장을 보였으나, 27$^{\circ}C$에서는 성장에 비하여 낮은 생존율을 보였다. 염분에 따른 유생의 사육시험 결과 0$\textperthousand$에서는 실험시작 10일 후 모두 폐사 하였으며, 성장은 6~9$\textperthousand$, 생존율은 3$\textperthousand$에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 2. 수용밀도에 따른 부유유생의 성장과 생존율. 유생의 수용밀도에 따른 사육실험 결과, 1$m\ell$당 1~5 개체의 저밀도에서는 성장과 생존율이 양호하였으며, 50개체/$m\ell$의 고밀도에서는 성장과 생존율이 낮았으며, 실험시작 12일째에 모두 폐사하였다. 3. 먹이생물 종류 및 공급량에 따른 부유유생의 성장과 생존율. 식물 먹이생물에 따른 유생사육 실험 결과, 혼합 공급구가 가장 빠른 성장을 보였으며, 단일 공급구에서는 I. galbana, P. lutheri, C. calcitrans 순으로 비슷한 성장을 보였으며, Chlorella sp.는 가장 늦은 성장을 보였다. 생존율 또한 혼합구가 가장 높고 I. galbana, P. lutheri, 가 비슷한 반면, Chlorella sp. 실험구가 가장 낮았다. 공급량에 따른 사육 실험에서는 먹이 공급량이 많을수록 유생의 성장은 양호하였으나, 8일 이후 50,000 cell/$m\ell$ 밀도에서 전량 폐사하였다. 실험 종료시인 12일째에는 20,000 cell/$m\ell$ 밀도에서 가장 빠른 성장과, 10,000 cell/$m\ell$ 밀도에서 높은 생존율을 보였으며, 5,000 cell/$m\ell$ 밀도에서는 성장과 생존율이 낮았다. 따라서 유생사육을 위한 기수재첩의 먹이생물의 밀도는 10,000~20,000 cell/$m\ell$가 효과적이었다.

Present investigation was carried out to clarify chemical characteristics, lipid composition, fatty acid components and the sterol composition of the lipids from the fresh-water cockle, Corbicula slatier. The results obtained are as follows :1) The oil content, iodine value and unsaponifiable matter of the total .lipids were 2.17, 119 and $16.6\%$ respectively. 2) The main components of the total lipids were phospholipids (ahout $43\%$), triglyceride and sterol. 3) The main fatty acids of the total lipids were $C_{16:0}\;(48.4\%),\;C_{14:0}\;(10.0\%),\;C_{18:3}\;(8.3\%),\;C_14:1\;(5.4\%)\;and\;C_{18:1}\;(5.3\%)$. 4) Sterols found were 24-methylenecholesterol ($14.1\%$), $\beta-sitosterol(22.5\%)$, fucosterol ($14.9\%$), isofucosterol (?) ($14.0\%$), $\Delta^7-avenasterol (?)(5.2\%)$ and cholesterol ($2.3\%$).

Gametogenes, reproductive cycle, first sexual maturity(biological minimum size), sex ratio and larval development of the marsh clam Corbicula japonica were investigated monthly by histological observations. Samples were collected in brackish water of Gokgang stream, Kyungsangbuk-Do, Korea, from August 1997 to July 1998. Sexuality of Corbicula japonica is dioecious and the species are an oviparous clam. The gonads are irregularly arranged from the sub-region of mid-intestinal gland in visceral cavity to reticular connective tissue of foot. The ovary is composed of a number of ovarian sac which are branched arborescent. Oogonia actively proliferate along the germinal epithelium of ovarian sac, in which young oocytes are growing. The testis is composed of a number of testicular tubules, and the epithelium of the tubule has function of germinal epithelium, along which spermatogonia actively proliferate. A great number of undifferentiated mesenchymal tissue and eosinophilic granular cells are abundantly distributed between developing oocytes and spermatocytes in the early developmental stages. With the further development of the ovary and testis these tissue and cells gradually disappear. Then the undifferentiated mesenchymal tissue and eosinophilic granular cells are considered to be related to the growing of the oocytes and spermatocytes. The spawning period is from July to September, and the main spawning occur between July and August when seawater temperatures reach above 22$^{\circ}C$. The reproductive cycle of this species can be divided into five successive stages; early active (February to April), late active (May to July), ripe (June to September), partially spawned (July to September), degenerative (September to October) and resting stage (October to February). Percentages of first sexual maturity of female and male clams ranging in length from 10 mm to 12 mm are over 50% and 100% for clams over 16.0 mm in shell length. Fertilized eggs or Corbicula japonica were 80-90 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in diameter. In the early embryonic development of C. japonica, the appearance of polar body, trochophore and D-shaped veliger were observed around 40 min., 27 hours and 4 days after spawning, respectively, at a water temperature of 26.5-28.$0^{\circ}C$. The size of larvae of early umbo stage was about 185-210 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in shell length, 160-180 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in shell height around 7 days after fertilization. The correlation of relative growth between the culture day (D) and shell length (SL) was expressed by the following simple formula from D-shaped veliger to metamorphosing stage; SL = 13.300D + 209.36($r^2$= 0.9078).

섬진강 하구역에서 모래채취로 인한 지형변화와, 댐 및 취수장의 증가로 인한 유량감소로 인해 해수의 역류범위가 증가하여 참게나 재첩과 같은 경제성 어종이 감소하고, 염분으로 인한 농업용수사용 불가와 같은 염수피해가 늘어가고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2차원 수치모형인 RMA-2, 4와 3차원 수치모형인 EFDC를 각각 이용하여 밀물 시 염수가 전파되는 범위 및 염수농도를 모의하고, 동시에 2차원 모형과 3차원 모형을 비교하여 모의목적에 대한 각 모형의 장 단점을 알아보았다. 모의결과를 살펴보면 최저 수위 시 두 모형이 큰 차이를 보이는 것을 볼 수 있었으며, EFDC가 상류쪽으로 더 길게 염수침입이 일어나는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

The calcination characteristics of the waste Corbicula Japonica and Ostrea virginjca shell were examined for the future use as desulfurization sorbent. The weight variation was measured according to thermal-decomposition using TGA and observed variation of the phase. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the sample were performed using XRD and the structural analysis, SEM. The results of TGA and XRD experiments showed that the almost all of the raw samples Corbicula Japonica and Ostrea virginjca were changed from calcite to lime by firing and calcination reaction. The result of SEM experiment showed that the plate type of the raw sample was changed to circle type, so the surface area ratio was increased. Above results suggested that waste Corbicula Japonica and Ostrea virginjca were usable in the viewpoint of the reuse of resource and the decrease of environmental pollution.

Marsh calm(Corbicular elatior)with a short-term storage in raw and a law-rate of utilization has been increasing the needs to develop new marsh calm processing products for a temporary mass treatment and long-term distribution, Therefore the processing conditions of marsh calm beverage using proteolytic enzyme hydrolysis were investigated. A partial hydrolysis at 6$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour after adding 3% Alcalase as more effective than a hot water extraction to develop taste compounds from the marsh calm. The result of ommission test showed that nucleotides and their related compounds were contributed in the taste of the marsh calm hydrolysates rather than free amino acids. The taste of the hydrolysates was produced by association with these compounds rather than only one compound s the hydrolystes taste differently for the control when one of these compound was omitted. The hydrolysates were fractionated to molecular weight below 500 dalton to eliminate bitter taste and to improve it flavor from the hydrolysates, 0.05% bay leaf was more effective to improve the odor than other herbs.

Corbicula fluminea, one of the 2 species in the family Corbiculidae living in the Lake Uiam, was used as an experimental material and the embryonic development and the structure of glochidia of this species were investigated. This freshwater mussels was oviparous, but some ovoviviparous: incubated their youngs in the inner-demibranchs or outer-demibranchs, however, chiefly used the inner-demibranchs as brood-pouch. The average time required from a fertilized egg to two-cell stage, veliger stage, and glochidium was 76 minutes, 3 hours, and 17 hours, respectively, The mean size of glochidium was $168{\mu}m$ in shell height, $195{\mu}m$ in shell lengh, $114{\mu}m$ in hinge legth and the form of glochidium was D-type and had no hooks or hooklets for attaching to fish like Unioidae.

감조하천 구간에서의 수면경사 및 유속분포 등 흐름특성은 조석의 영향으로 자연하천과 달리 매우 복잡하고 다양한 형태를 보이고 있다. 또한 하류에서 상류로 조류 유입시 해침으로 인한 염분도 상승으로 수서생물은 담수종에서 기수종 및 해수종으로 천이되고 있다. 섬진강 하구의 대표적인 수서생물인 재첩은 염분도 상승에 따라 폐각을 닫고 모래층으로 이동하는 특성을 보이고 있다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구는 감조하천 구간에서의 취수장의 취수 규모에 따른 염분도 변화특성을 살펴보고, 하구 수서생물생활환경에 적합한 염분도를 유지할 수 있는 합리적인 취수장 운영방안을 마련하는 데 있다. 이를 위해 과거 취수장 상류의 유출량에 따른 취수규모별 하구 염분도 변화 특성을 분석하였다.
