  • Population sizes of an endangered species, Gobiobotia macrocephala (Cyprinidae, Gobioninae) were investigated in the Seom River, a tributary of the Han River drainage system, in Wonju-si, Gandgwon-do, Korea from September to October 2010. G. macrocephala occurred at 14 stations surveyed in this study and inhabited around the downstream riffles with pebble and coble bottoms. Its population sizes were estimated to be $8,295{\pm}4,922$ and $39,846{\pm}14,232$ individuals at two main stations using the mark-recapture method. The quadrat methods by a spoon net and snorkeling revealed that the population sizes were estimated to be 9,216 and 37,873 individuals, and 5,593 and 24,347 individuals, respectively.

  • The karyotypes of three species of Gobiobotia in Korea were investigated: G. macrocephala, G. brevibarba, and G. nakdongensis. In these species, the mitotic chromosomes from 25 groups with two chromosomes each indicated that it is a diploid. The karyotypes of Gobiobotia macrocephala are 2n = 50 (9M+7SM+9ST) with NF = 100, G. brevibarba 2n = 50 (10M+7SM+4ST+4T) with NF = 92, and G. nakdongensis 2n = 50 (5M+9SM+9ST+2T) with NF = 96. Chromosome sizes ranged from 3.3 to $7.5{\mu}m$, 2.7 to $6.3{\mu}m$ and 3.5 to $7.3{\mu}m$ in length, respectively. This is the first report on the chromosomes of G. macrocephala and G. nakdongensis.

  • 설악산 국립공원지역 산간계류의 17지점에서 2000년 6월부터 2001년 6월까지 어류상 및 이화학적 요인 분석을 실시하였다. 모든 조사지점은 1-3차 이내의 하천으로 비교적 물리ㆍ화학적 교란이 적었으며 하천폭은 5~30 m 정도였다. 채집된 어류는 총 17과 42종 2,557개체였고, Cyprinidae는 16종 2,165개체가 채집되어 84.7%의 상대풍부도를 나타냈으며, Cobitidae는 5종으로 Cyprinidae 다음으로 가장 많은 종이 채집되었으나 개체수는 109개체로 4.2%의 상대풍부도를 보였다. Gobiidae가 4종 (5.0%), Salmonidae는 모두 3종 (0.8%)이 채집되었다. 이외에도 Oryziatidae, Plecoglossidae, Amblycipitidae, Cottidae, Serranidae 등 12과는 각각 1종씩 모두 117개체 (4.6%)가 채집되었다. Cyprinidae는 전체 채집종의 37.2%를 나타냈다. 우점종은 Zacco temmincki로 10개 지점에서 738개체가 채집되어 28.9%의 상대풍부도를 나타냈으며, 아우점종은 Moroco kumtangensis와 Z.platypus로 각각 4개 지점 648개체 (25.3%)와 7개 지점 344개체 (13.5%)로 나타났다. 한국고유종 (Korean endemic species)은 모두 4과 11종 781개체로 30.5%의 상대풍부도를 나타냈으며, 고유화 빈도는 25.6%로 한국의 평균 고유화 빈도와 유사하게 나타났다 우점종은 M. kumkangensis (한국고유종 중 83.1%)로 나타났으며, 아우점종은 Coreoperca herzi (5.8%), Microphysogobio longidorsalis (3.8%)와 Coreloeuciscus splendidus (2.6%)로 나타났다. 본 조사에서 외래어는 채집되지 않았다. 어류의 다양성은 국립공원내에서보다 하천폭이 커지고 서식처자 비교적 다양한 경계지역의 하천 조사지점에서 더 높게 나타났다.따라서 국립공원의 경계지역에 대한 효율적인 생태적 관리가 요구되며, 국립공원 내의 어류의 다양성 유지와 회복을 위해서는 공원 내는 물론 경계지역 산지하천의 물리적 변형 (보, 제방, 석축 등)과 오염원의 유입 (점, 비점오염원)에 대한 고려가있어야 한다.

  • Spawning behaviors of Squalidus gracilis majimae (Cyprinidae) were observed in the laboratory whose environmental factors such as light (D/L = 16 : 8), temperature ($20\;{\sim}\;24\;^{\circ}C$), and dissolved oxygen (>8 mg $L^{-1}$) were quite regularly controlled. The behavioral patterns were categorized into three stages ofpre-spawning, spawning, and Post-spawning behaviors. In Particular, the pre-spawning stage was specified by 11 specific behavioral patterns of aggressive mating behaviors. During the spawning stage, the male and female performed four distinct spawning behaviors including sexual temptation, stimulation, egg spawning, and the separation, and randomly laid about 200 ${\sim}$ 300 eggs on the bottom substrates through the night. After finishing spawning, two adults separated toward their refuges and showed 3 types of post-spawning behaviors such as the resting, occasional eggs protecting, and the egg eating. The fish was identified as a partial-parental care species after the spawning.

  • Spermatozoa of Aphyocypris chinensis was studied by transmission electron microscopy. The investiation revaled that, spermatozoa display a round head, a small midpiece and a long tail region. In the spermatozoa, the nucleus contains highly condensed homogeneous chromation with small electron lucent areas. The base of the nucleus is slightly invaginated laterally by the nuclear fossa which contains the proximal centriole. The two centrioles orientated at an obtus angle (130°) to each other. The midpiece encircles the flagellum and is completely separated from it by the cytoplasmic channel. The midpiece contains more than 12 mitochondria. The mitochondria are arranged in 4~5 layer and are asymmetrically distributed in the postnuclear cytoplasm. The mitochondria surround the proximal part of the flagellum. The flagellum has classical 9+2 axoneme and no lateral fins. The spermatozoa of A. chinensis are similar to those of other cyprinids having a spherical head with a shallow nuclear fossa, a short midpiece including the asymmetrical arrangement of mitochondria and the lateral insertion of flagellum. However, there are some differences in the orientation of centrioles and the number of the mitochondria.

  • Tiger barb (Puntius tetrazona Bleeker, 1855) is a teleost belonging to Cyprinidae. The oogenesis of tiger barb was investigated by light microscope. The ovary was of white and ellipsoidal shape with the major axis 2 cm and the minor axis 1 cm. Cytoplasm of oogonia was basophilic and many nucleoli were located at inside of nuclear membrane. In early stage of primary oocyte, yolk vesicles were distributed only in the marginal area. In secondary oocyte, the egg envelope was formed and yolk vesicles was formed in the cytoplasm. The basophilic substance of cytoplasm was changed to acidic. In case of matured egg, thickness of egg envelope and size of egg were increased. The yolk vesicles were changed to yolk mass in accordance with development. Also, there is not the formation of oil droplets in cytoplasm. In conclusion, the oogenesis of tiger barb was characterized by the increase in cell size, the formation of yolk, the decrease of basophilic substance in the cytoplasm, and formation of yolk mass.

  • The bitterling, Acheilognathus koreensis spermatozoon has been examined by electron microscopy. The epididymal spermatozoa of A. koreensis are representing typical characteristic of cyprinid spermatozoa including the lateral insertion of flagellum, the organization of centriolar complex in shallow nuclear fossa and the asymmetrical arrangement of mitochondria. The sperm mid-piece contains a large mitochondrion characteristic enclosed by membranous vesicles. The mitochondria aspect is different from that of other cyprinid spermatozoa, which their mitochondria have a conventional aspect and never fuse to form a mitochondrial derivative. In term of sperm evolution, the fused mitochondria are regarded as the apomorphic character in comparison with the separate mitochondria. The single mitochondrion is not found in cyprinid spermatozoon except for Rodeus and Pungtungia.

  • Spawning of the bitterling, Acheilognathus yamatsutae into the mussel was studied from 1990 to 1992 in Lake Uiam, Korea. This fish preferred to spawn in certain mussel species such as Unio douglasiae, U. douglasiae sinuolatus, Lamprotula gottsehei and Anodonta arcaeformis flavotincta in order of preference. Within the same species of mussel, they preferred the larger size. Eggs and larvae were commonly located in the inner demibranch of mussels. Average number of eggs or larvae per mussel was 3.6(ranged from 1 to 35). The eggs of the bitterling were hatched out within 41 hours when water temperature remained over $20^{\circ}C$ and the larvae already possessed minute tubercles on the skin and yolk projections to prevent themselves being washed out from mussels.

  • This study was carried out to clarify the larvae and juveniles of egg development and autonomous development of Hemibarbus longirostris from Korea, and to obtain basic data for species conservation and seed production. The shape of the egg was circular and sticky. The average size of the eggs was 2.01 mm (n=10). At 185 hours after fertilization, more than 50% of the total embryos were hatched. The newly hatched larvae had an average total length of 8.10 mm (n=5) and had egg yolk in the abdomen. At 3 days after hatching, the larvae absorbed all egg yolk was average total length 8.64 mm. On the 6 days after hatching, the caudal tip of the notochord started to curve upwards was average total length 10.9 mm. At 70 days after hatching, the average total length 37.9 mm. The number of fins was i 8-10 in dorsal fin, iii 7 in the anal fin, and ii 5 in the ventral fin.
