We investigated the changes in the egg diameter of chub mackerel Scomber japonicus with the stages of egg development (and distinguished between hydrated oocyte and non-hydrated oocyte) for 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 30 days. The chub mackerel oocytes were preserved in seven fixing solutions (70% ethyl alcohol, 99.9% ethyl alcohol, 5% formalin, 10% formalin, 5% neutral buffered formalin, 10% neutral buffered formalin and Gilson's solution). At 30 days, the chub mackerel hydrated oocytes preserved in 70% ethyl alcohol and 99.9% ethyl alcohol had shrunk by 5.2% and 7.9%, respectively. Similarly, the non-hydrated oocytes in the same solutions shrunk by 10.3% and 14.0%, respectively. Oocytes preserved in Gilson's solution had an average egg diameter decrease in both the hydrated oocyte (by 16.9%) and non-hydrated oocytes (by 15.6%). The diameter of the preserved hydrated oocytes did not significantly differ between the 5% formalin, 10% formalin, 5% neutral buffered formalin and 10% neutral buffered formalin, with shrinkage percentages of 0.6%, 0.1%, 1.9% and 3.4%, respectively (P>0.05). Similarly, the shrinkage percentages of the non-hydrated oocytes were 4.3% (5% formalin), 5.5% (10% formalin), 4.3% (5% neutral buffered formalin), and 4.1% (10% neutral buffered formalin).

We examined the morphology of fertilized egg and ultrastructures of fertilized egg envelopes of dwarf rainbowfish (Melanotaenia praecox) belong to Melanotaeniidae using light and electron microscopes. The fertilized eggs were spherical with adhesive filament, transparent, demersal, and had a narrow perivitelline space and small oil droplets. The size of fertilized egg was 1.02 ± 0.18 mm (n = 30), and there were two kinds of adhesive filament on the fertilized eggs. The long and thick (diameter 12.22 ± 0.52 ㎛, n = 20) adhesive filaments were only at the area of animal pole, and short and thin (diameter 1.99 ± 0.23 ㎛, n = 20) adhesive filaments were around the long filaments. A micropyle was conical shaped with adhesive filament and located near the animal pole of egg. The outer surface of fertilized egg was rough side. Also, the total thickness of the fertilized egg envelope was about 7.46 ± 0.41 ㎛ (n = 20), the fertilized egg envelope consisted of two layers, an inner lamellae layer and an outer layer with high electron-density. And the inner layer was 8 layers. Collectively, these morphological characteristics and adhesive property of fertilized egg with adhesive filaments, and ultrastructures of micropyle, outer surface, and section of fertilized egg envelope are showed species specificity.

Pettancylus nipponicus (freshwater limpet) collected from the Lake Choon Cheon were cultrued in aquarium and studied in the respects of an egg deposition and the developmental characters of cleavage. The species were collected only in the Lake Uiam and Choon Cheon and easily sampled on the debris like vinyls and cans. Those smooth surfaces were suitalble substrata for attaching. P. nipponicus, about 4 mm in adult, deposited an egg in one calcareous egg-capsule on the aquarium walls, while many eggs are surrounded in a jelly-like egg-envelope in the most gastropods. And another special features was that an egg-capsule was consisted of two valves and the suture was opended as hatching. A diameter of its egg was $55{{\mu}m}$ and the length of an egg capsule was $620{{\mu}m}$ and $510{{\mu}m}$ in long and short diameter, respectively. It took about 8 hours from beginning cleavage to 16-cell stage and about one year to become an adult.

The aim of this in vitro study was to test the effect of microinjection (Mi) of foreign gene into the rabbit egg pronucleus and epidermal growth factor (EGF) addition on the blastocyst rate, the cell number and the diameter of embryos, and to determine possible relationships between embryo cell number and embryo diameter. Blastocyst rate was significantly decreased in gene- Mi (G-Mi/E0) group (63.1%) comparing to intact ones (83.5%, $p_1$<0.05). The addition of EGF at 20ng/ml (G-Mi/E20) or 200 ng/ml (GMi/ E200) to gene-Mi embryos did not affect blastocyst rate (65.6 and 55.2% resp.). As a control for Mi, the eggs were microinjected with the same volume of phosphate-buffered solution (PBS-Mi) instead of the gene construct solution. Cell numbers and embryo diameters were measured from embryo images obtained on confocal laser scanning microscope. Bonferroni-modified LSD test showed that the embryo cell number in PBS-Mi group was significantly lower ($p_1$<0.05) and in gene-Mi group was tended to decrease compared with intact embryos. Embryo diameter was not different among experimental groups. No effect of EGF given at any doses both on the cell number and embryo diameter was found. A positive correlation between cell number and embryo diameter was observed in all groups of embryos. Since embryo diameter was not changed under the influence of Mi or EGF addition in this study, this seems to be more conservative characteristics of the embryo morphology. These results suggest that the pronuclear microinjection compromises developmental potential of embryos, decreasing blastocyst rate and embryo cell number, whilst embryo diameter is not affected. No effects of EGF on studied parameters were confirmed. Declined quality of Mi-derived embryos is caused by the microinjection procedure itself, rather than by the gene construct used.

This study about morphological observation of pre- or post ovulated eggs obtained from artificially maturated female eels. Female eels were divided with two groups as wild eels from nature and feminized eels from farm. Artificial maturation had been conducted with the established methods in this laboratory, and then maturate eggs sampled at fixed 3 times and these were observed with stereomicroscope. Rate of increased body weight (RIW) were measured with 2 times. Egg diameters and development of oil droplets are determined for standardization of egg maturation degree, and the transparency of egg cytoplasm and the homogeneous degrees of egg size were referred to determine of egg quality. Rate of increased body weight (RIW) were good in range about 10 % at final salmon pituitary extracts (SPE) injection time and in range about 20 % at $17{\alpha}$, $20{\beta}$-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (DHP) injection time. Good matured egg for fertilization had $900-1000{\mu}m$ diameter, and they had about 50 oil droplets in size about $100{\mu}m$ diameter. There were not predominant differences at egg size and oil droplet development between wild female and feminized eels.
