  • The karyotype analysis of Kichulchoia brevifasciata was carried out, known as an end-angered small endemic cobitid fish of Korea. Five females and one male were collected from Geum-san-myeon, Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do, Korea and its gill, kidney and digestive tract tissues were treated by flame-drying technique. The karyotype was found to be 2n= 48 from 33 cells; 16 meta-submetacentric and 32 subtelo-telocentric chromosomes; 64 FN (fundamental number). This karyotype showed a remarkably different karyotype formula from Niwaella multifasciata which is closely related to this species.

  • Sinca early 1930' Colitis taenia striate were introduced to the Donsgjin in Chollabukdo, where it hybridized with an endemic subspecies C. tiutheri. Protein electrophoresis revealed high levels of hybridization with intensive backcrossing occupied approximately 20 kilometers of the river. This is roughly one-half of tech historic range of the endemic species. The average frequency of introduced alleles of three diagnostic loci ranged 0.03-0.46 among 11 sites in tech svrnpatric area. Clinal patterns in allele frequencies suggest C. tiutheri were introduced in an upper reaches of the Dongjin and downstream dispersal of the introduced alleles followed. There is little linkasedisequilibrium between the diagnostic loci, suggesting the nuclear genomes of tech two subspecies are randomly associated. The evidence presented here and previously supports recognition of C. t. striata and C. t. lutheri as the typical subspecies.

  • 한국 특산종 C. longicolpus의 지리적 변이를 조사하고자 discriminant function 분석에 의한 형태적 변이 그리고 전기영동법에 의한 유전적 변이를 전국적으로 조사하였다. 11개 집단의 discriminant function분석결과 11개 집단은 형태적으로 뚜렷한 차이 없이 유사하였다. 13개 집단의 유전적 변이를 조사한 결과는 13개 집단 평균 A = 1.37, P = 29.96%, HD = 0.076 및 HG = 0.083으로 일반적인 담수어류의 종내 집단 간 평균 유전적 변이정도보다 다소 높게 나타났다. 평균 유전적 근연치는 5 : 0.88으로 타 어종의 일반적인 집단 및 유전적 근연정도와 유사하였다.

  • The main purpose of the current study was to obtain nuclear DNA content data among the representatives of the families and subfamilies of 31 endemic fishes that inhabit river of Korea. DNA contents of 31 endemic species were observed to rang from 1.5 to 4.8 pg DNA/nucleus. In Cyprinidae, DNA content of Abbottina springeri (1.5±0.03 pg DNA/nucleus) was the lowest value and DNA content of Carassius cuvieri (4.5±0.32 pg DNA/nucleus) was the highest value in all experimental groups. In Cobitidae, DNA content of Iksookimia longicorpa (3.9±0.17 pg DNA/nucleus) was the highest value and DNA content of Orthrias toni (1.5±0.18 pg DNA/nucleus) was the lowest value in all experimental groups. This study provides new information for a better understanding of the process of genomic evolution in 31 endemic species in river of Korea.
