A growth trial was conducted to investigate the utilization of wheat germ meal as a protein source of formulated diet for juvenile abalone (Haliotis discus hannai). Four replicate groups of the abalone average weighing 150mg were fed one of four isonitrogenous (33%) and isolipidic (6%) diets containing 0%, 10%, 20%, or 30% wheat germ meal for 18 weeks. In addition, these formulated diets were compared with commercial diet. Survival rate, weight gain, soft body weight , and shell growth of abalone fed diets containing 0%, 10%, 20%, or 30% wheat germ meal were not different (P>0.05) from those of abalonn fed the control diet and commercial diet. There were no significant differences (P>0.05) in soft body composition of moisture, protein and lipid. It si concluded that wheat germ meal were be used as a partial protein source of formulated diet for juvenile abalone.

전복류는 옛날부터 고급수산품으로서 가치가 높고, 근년에 와서는 경제성장과 함께 그 수요가 날로 증가되는 추세로 양식 대상종으로 전망이 밝다(변 등, 1984, 김, 1997). 전복양식은 최근 연안환경의 오염으로 인한 양식장 적지의 제한 등의 여러 가지 문제점의 제기로 종묘생산과 양성에 이르기까지 육상 수조에서 완전양식이 시도되고 있는 추세이다. 육상수조식 양식은 전 사육과정을 인위적으로 관리 하면서 사육하기 때문에 생존율 및 성장효과 면에서는 다른 양식 방법보다 유리하다는 이점을 가지고 있지만, 전복이 한정된 공간에서 대량으로 사육됨에 따라 여러 가지 질병과 수질악화, 여름철 고수온기 때의 수온의 급상승이나 적조 생물 및 이상수괴에 의한 치패의 성장저하 대량 폐사 등의 문제점을 가지고 있다.

The present study investigated the feces production rate and fecal nitrogen production ratio of abalone, Haliotis discus hannai fed seaweed, Undaria pinnatifida. The abalone, with shell lengths of 3 cm, 5 cm, and 7 cm, were tested at temperatures of $12^{\circ}C$, $16^{\circ}C$, and $20^{\circ}C$ in a semi-recirculating aquaculture system. Under the given experimental conditions, the weight specific feces production rate (FPw) of the abalone increased with the decrease of shell length and the increase of temperature. The relationship of the FPw was. $FPw=-3.092+206.573/T - 1916.8/T^2+0.141L -0.037L^2(r^2=0.9412)$. In addition the abalone produced 17.8-22.5% of fecal material against ingested seaweed, Undaria pinnatifida, and $18.4-22.4\%$ of nitrogen ingested total nitrogen.

This study investigated the effect of dietary pigment sources on growth and shell color of juvenile abalone(Haliotis discus hannai). Three replicate groups of the abalone (average weight 173 mg) were fed diets containing various pigment sources such as Porphyra powder, Spirulina, yeast astaxanthin, and paprika extract for 16 weeks. Survival and weight gain were not affected by dietary pigment sources (P>0.05). Shell color of abalone fed diets containing Porphyra powder and Spirulina approached the yellow-red and orange, colors similar to wild abalone. However, shell color of abalone fed the diets containing yeast astaxanthin and paprika extract were similar to the bright green control group. These results should be useful for changing the shell color of abalone in aquaculture.

Three feeding experiments were carried out to evaluate the effects of fatty acids or lipid sources in diets on the survival, growth and body composition of junenile abalone(Haliotis discus hannai). Diets used in this study contained casein or fish meal as a protein source. Three replicate groups of abalone averaging 160 mg were fed with casein diets containing 12:0, 18:1, 18:2n-6, 18:3n-3, n-3HUFA, squid liver oil (SO), corn oil (CO), beef tallow (BT), SO+CO, and SO+BT, or fed fish meal diets containing SO, CO, BT, SO+CO, SO+BT and not supplemental oil for 20 weeks, respectively. Survival rate, weight gain and soft body weight of abalone were not significantly affected by different fatty acids in the casein diets (P>0.05). Weight gain, soft body weight and shell length of abalone fed the casein diets containing SO, SO+CO or SO+BT were significantly higher (P<0.05) than those of abalone fed the casein diets containing CO or BT. Survival rate of abalone fed the fish meal diets was not influenced by different lipid sources (P>0.05). Weight gain and soft body weight of abalone fed the fish meal diets containing beef tallow (BT or SO+BT diet) were lower than those of abalone fed the diet not added oil or diets containing SO, CO and/or SO+CO(P<0.05). These data indicated that SO or SO+CO was good dietary lipid source for juvenile abalone, and that these oil supplement in diet was not necessary when fish meal was used as a protein source.

The gonadal development of triploid and diploid Pacific abalones, Haliotis discus hannai was histologically investigated in spawning season. Diploid abalones had matured oocytes and spermatozoa, but most triploid had spermatocytes or developing oocytes that was slightly retarded in gonadal development compared to diploid abalones. In spawning experiment of triploid and diploid abalones, spawning rates of diploid male and female were 100%, but those of triploid female was 50% and male was 25% respectively. Investigation of spawned abalone eggs and spermatozoa revealed that length of diploid sperms head were 17.47 ${\mu}m$, breadth of head were 10.31 ${\mu}m$, length of spermatozoa were 130.72 ${\mu}m$, but those of triploid spermatozoa were 11.83 ${\mu}m$, 7.89 ${\mu}m$ and 103.36 ${\mu}m$ respectively. Triploid spermatozoa were significantly small to diploid spermatozoa (p < 0.05). The eggs of diploid and triploid were not different in size. The cross experiment between oocytes produced by triploids and spermatozoa by diploids ($3n{\times}2n$ cross) revealed that no fertilization were occurred, and $2n{\times}3n$ cross also revealed same result.

The study was conducted to develop the suitable abalone's diets for the indoor tank culture. The young abalone Haliotis discus hannai Ino sized ca. 20, 30 and 40 nun in shell length were fed three different diets, dried sea mustard Undaria pinnatifida HARVEY (control), artificial diet and terrestrial plants e. g. Chinese cabbage and Perilla leaf for 2 years. The growth rate of abalones fed an artificial diet was slightly higher than that of abalones from the control. However, the growth rate of abalones from terrestrial plants was significantly lower than that of abalones fed a control or an artificial diet (P< 0.05). The daily feeding rate of young abalones from terrestrial plants was slightly higher than that of abalones from the control. While, that of abalones from an artificial diet was approximately $30\%$ of that of abalones from a control or a terrestrial plants diet. The feed efficiency of abalone from artificail diet was higher than that of abalones from a control or a terrestrial plants diet, and the smaller size of young abalone showed the higher the feed efficiency. The EFA index values ${{\sum}n9/(20:4n6+20:5n3+22:6n3}$ of the dried sea mustard and the artificial diet were 1.26 and 3.64, respectively. These values were favorable, but the value of terrestrial plant, Perilla leaf was 127.00 indicating poor EFA index for normal growth of abalone.

Growth of triploid abalone, Haliotis discus hannai induced by cody (3$^{\circ}C$) shock and its feed efficiency were investigated from larva to adult for 51 months. After 51 months from triploidy induction, the triploid abalones have outgrown to diploid abalones in shell length and total weight. Triploid abalones with inhibition of extrusion of first polar body (3n-1pb) were outgrown to diploid abalones, however, triploid abalones with inhibition of extrusion of second polar body (3n-2pb) were not significantly different from diploid controls in shell length and total weight through the whole rearing period (P<0.05), because of their heterozygosity differences. Daily feeding rates and feed conversion rates decreased with the growth of abalones and both rates had no differnce between two experimental groups. After 51 months from inducing triploid, conditin index of triploid abalone (64.1%) was higher than that of diploid control (59.4%) (P<0.05). Survival rate was 63.0% in triploid group (3n-1pb 62.0%, 3n-2pb 64.0%) and 62.0% in diploid group during the experimental period.

We cloned and sequenced the open reading frame (ORF) cDNA encoding myostatin from the muscle of abalone (Haliotis discus hannai). The ORF cDNA of the abalone myostatin is 1134 bp and encoded 377 amino acid residues that were 60-96% homologous with the amino acids of other organism myostatins. In addition, the ORF contained a conserved proteolytic cleavage site (RXRR) and nine conserved cysteine residues in the C-terminus. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR revealed the presence of myostatin mRNA in various tissues. The strongest expression was observed in the mantle of female abalone, and the gills and heart of male abalone.

Microsatellite DNA markers were used to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai collected from six locations (Uljin, Ulsan, Daechon, Taean, Wando, and Yosu) where hatchery-produced abalone have been released intensively. There was no distinguishable difference in the observed and expected heterozygosities between the six populations and a cultured population. However, there was a difference in the number of alleles per locus: 12.8 for the cultured population and 13.8 to 15.8 for the six populations. The proportion of stocked abalone ranged from 41.1 to 92.7% for wild-caught populations with a decreasing tendency of alleles per locus for an increasing proportion of stocked abalone. A departure from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) assessed using the Markov chain procedure (P<0.05) was observed in the six populations and cultured population at loci Hdh145 and Hdh5l2. The pairwise Fst test (P<0.05) showed a significant difference between the Uljin and Ulsan populations and four remaining populations (Wando, Daechon, Yosu, and the cultured population), among which the Wando population differed less than the other three populations (Daechon, Yosu, and the cultured population).
