This study was performed to estimate biomass and to provide management plan through population ecological characteristics, including survival rate, instantaneous coefficient of natural and fishing mortalities, and age at first capture of Flathead grey mullet, Mugil cephalus, in the coastal waters of Yeosu. Survival rate (S) of the flathead grey mullet was 3.671. The instantaneous coefficients of natural mortality (M) and fishing mortality (F) was estimated to be 0.325/year, 0.962/year for flathead grey mullet. Also fist capure age of flathead grey mullet was 3.61year. The current biomass of the flathead grey mullet in the study area was estimated to be 19.6 M/T and $F_{0.1}$ and $F_{40%}$ were estimated 0.340/year, 0.225/year. For the stock assessment result, flathead grey mullet was not overfished but overfishing.

The age and growth of flathead grey mullet, Mugil cephalus, were studied using samples collected from the coastal water of Yeosu from September 2009 to August 2010. Spawning season estimated from the gonadosometic index (GSI) was from November to January. A method for increasing the readability of the otolith was described and criteria for the interpretation of otolith was provided. The annual ring was formed in September once a year. Annual ring in otolith for flathead grey mullet is validated for fish aged 1-8 using the marginal increment analysis. Using the sectioned otolith, between reader precision was 84%. Also, Within-reader agreement for sectioned otolith age readings was higher (reader 1=84%, reader 2=87%). The relationship between fork length and total weight was TW=$0.022FL^{2.818}$. The estimated von Bertalanffy growth parameters for the flathead grey mullet were $L_{\infty}$=67.97cm K=0.164/year and $t_o$=-0.81year.

본 연구를 통해 한국의 양식 가숭어에서 최초로 분리된 등각류는 Nerocila japonica와 가장 근연한 종으로 확인되었으나, 향후 형태학적 분류 등 명확한 종 동정이 추가로 필요할 것으로 판단되며, 약물의 직접 노출에 의한 구충 효과를 확인한 결과 trichlorfon이 가장 효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었다.

태안 연안에서 이각망에 어획된 숭어 이석을 관찰하여 연령을 사정하고, 이석 윤문의 폭으로부터 체장을 역추정하여 성장을 추정하였다. 태안 연안 숭어는 외해에서 산란하여 유어기를 보낸 후 성어가 연안으로 들어온 것으로 보이며, 관찰한 숭어의 전장은 239~605 mm 범위였으며, 400~550 mm 크기의 개체가 주를 이루었다. 나이는 1~7세 범위였고 3~5세어가 가장 많았다. 전장(L, mm)은 이석의 장반경(R, ${\mu}m$)에 유의하게 일차 비례하였다(L=15.3+87.9 R). Frazer-Lee의 방법으로 추정한 각 연륜이 형성되었을 때의 전장은 1세어의 평균(${\pm}SD$)은 $316{\pm}40.6mm$로 초기 성장이 빨랐으며, 각 나이에서 그 범위가 넓어 개체에 따른 성장률 차이가 큰 것으로 보인다. 역추산한 전장은 Von Bertalanffy의 성장식 $L_t=542[1-{\exp}\{-0.493(t+0.769)\}]$로 유의하게 회귀되었다.

Background: The flathead grey mullet Mugil cephalus has the widest distribution among mugilid species. Recent studies based on mitochondrial DNA sequences showed that the species comprises at least 14 different groups, three of which occur in the northwest Pacific. We analyzed the otolith microchemistry of M. cephalus at several locations in Korea to improve understanding of migration pattern and population origin. Results: We collected 123 sagittal otoliths from seven locations and determined their concentrations of eight elements (⁷Li, ²⁴Mg, ⁵⁵Mn, ⁵⁷Fe, ⁶⁰Ni, ⁶³Cu, ⁸⁸Sr, and ¹³⁸Ba) using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Mean otolith elemental ratios differed significantly among the locations. The Sr:Ca, Fe:Ca, and Ba:Ca ratios were significantly higher than others, and useful chemical signatures for investigating the habitat use of M. cephalus populations. We identified five diverse and complicated migration patterns using the otolith data that we collected: estuarine resident (type I), freshwater migrant (type II), estuarine migrant (type III), seawater resident (type IV), and seawater migrant (type V). A canonical discriminant analysis plot revealed separation of two groups (type II in the Yellow Sea vs. other types in remaining locations). Two locations on Jeju Island, despite their close proximity, had fish with quite different migration patterns, corroborating previous molecular studies that distinguished two groups of fishes. Conclusion: We successfully showed that the migration patterns of the Korean mullet varied by location. Only fish from the western sector of Jeju had a unique migration pattern, which is likely confined population in this area. Among the eight otolith elements measured, the Sr:Ca ratio was found to be the best indicator of migration pattern and population origin.
