This study was to investigate the habitat conditions and growth of right eye flounder (Kareius bicoloratus) in the Saemangeum Reseorvoir during 1995$\sim$2007. The planktonic larvae of K. bicoloratus appeared in early March, and then the juveniles started the benthic life in the tide-pools inside the reservoir, being 1.5$\sim$2.5cm in total length in early April and 6.0$\sim$7.2cm in mid-July. This species was not collected in the tide-pools after July, indicating that the juveniles began to move to outer seas for growing. When the tide barrier of Saemangeum was constructed, the juveniles of K. bicoloratus decreased as the tidal pools were covered continuously, then they could not be collected after 2005. Thus, it is concluded that the environmental change has taken important influence on distribution and spawning of K. bicoloratus since the reservoir was constructed.

We investigated the development of allotriploid embryos derived from a cross between female starry flounder Platichthys stellatus and male stone flounder Kareius bicoloratus. The second cleavage, mid-blastula, gastrula, and Kupffer's vesicle appearance stages, and hatching of embryos began 3.7, 25.6, 45.7, 87.7, and 213.2 h after cold shock at $6^{\circ}C$, respectively. The hatching and development time of triploid interspecific hybrid eggs was approximately the same as those of diploid starry flounder eggs at the same incubation temperature.

돌가자미, Kareius bicoloratus (Basilewsky) 는 가자미목 가자미과에 속하는 어류이며, 한국, 일본, 중국 연안에 서식한다 (Chyung, 1977). 본 종에 대해서는 한국에서 초기생활사에 대한 연구와 난 발생에 대한 연구만 되어있다 (Jun et al, 1999; Moon, 1997). 그 외에 외국에서 연령형질, 성장, 성숙과 산란, 난치자어, 자원관리 등에 관하여 많은 연구가 보고되어 있다 (Hatanaka et al. 1952; Kimoto et al. 1991; Masaki et al, 1986; Mori et al, 1986; Uehara and Shimizu, 1996).

돌가자미, Kareius bicoloratus(Basilewsky)는 가자미목 (Order Pleuronectiformes) 가자미과(Family Pleuronectidae)에 속하는 어류이며, 한국, 일본, 중국 연안에 서식한다 (Chyung, 1977; Kim et al., 1994). 본 종에 대해서는 국외에서는 연령형질, 성장, 성숙과 산란, 난치자어, 자원관리 등에 관한 많은 연구가 되어 있으나, 국내에서는 Moon (1997)의 초기생활사에 대한 연구와 Jun et al. (1999)의 난 발생에 대한 연구만 되어 있을 뿐이다. (중략)

Two flatfish species were collected between January 2010 and August 2010 from fishing vessels operating with fishing, gill net and shrimp trawls along the coastal waters off Tongyeong, Korea in order to examine feeding habits. Kareius bicoloratus fed mainly on bivalves and fishes, whereas Clidoderma asperrimum fed mainly on ophiuroids. Our feeding strategy graphical method reveled that K. coloratus and C. asperrimum were specialist predator, with a narrow niche width.

The ultrastructures of germ cells and the functions of Leydig cells and Sertoli cells during spermatogenesis in male Kareius bicoloratus (Pleuronectidae) were investigated by electron microscope observation. Each of the well-developed Leydig cells during active maturation division and before spermiation contained an ovoid vesicular nucleus, a number of smooth endoplasmic reticula, well-developed tubular or vesicular mitochondrial cristae, and several lipid droplets in the cytoplasm. It is assumed that Leydig cells are typical steroidogenic cells showing cytological characteristics associated with male steroidogenesis. No cyclic structural changes in the Leydig cells were observed through the year. However, although no clear evidence of steroidogenesis or of any transfer of nutrients from the Sertoli cells to spermatogenic cells was observed, cyclic structural changes in the Sertoli cells were observed over the year. During the period of undischarged germ cell degeneration after spermiation, the Sertoli cells evidenced a lysosomal system associated with phagocytic function in the seminiferous lobules. In this study, the Sertoli cells function in phagocytosis and the resorption of products originating from degenerating spermatids and spermatozoa after spermiation. The spermatozoon lacks an acrosome, as have been shown in all teleost fish spermatozoa. The flagellum or sperm tail of this species evidences the typical 9+2 array of microtubules.

Ultrastructural studies on oocyte differentiation and vitellogenesis in the oocytes of female Kareius bicoloratus were investigated by transmission electron microscopy. The Golgi complex in the cytoplasm is involved in the formation of yolk vesicles that contain yolk carbohydrates in the yolk vesicle of oocytes in the early vitellogenic phase. In this phase, many pinocytotic vesicles (PVs), which are formed by pinocytosis, contain yolk precursors (exogenous substances). These substances are associated with exogenous heterosynthetic vitellogenesis. In yolked oocytes in the late vitellogenic phase, two morphologically different bodies, which formed by modified mitochondria, appear in oocytes. One is a multivesicular body (synthesized by autosynthetic vitellogenesis), and the other is a yolk precursor (an exogenous substance formed by heterosynthetic vitellogenesis). The multivesicular bodies (MVB) are taken into the yolk precursors (YP) and are transformed into primary yolk globules. However, after the YP mix with exogenous PVs near the zona pellucida, they are transformed into primary yolk globules. Vitellogenesis of this species occurs via endogenous autosynthesis and exogenous heterogenesis. Vitellogenesis occurs through endogenous autosynthesis, which involves the combined activity of the Golgi complex, mitochondria and MVB formed by modified mitochondria. However, heterosynthesis involves pinocytotic incorporation of extraovarian precursors (such as vitellogenin in the liver) into the zona pellucida (via granulosa cells and thecal cells) of the yolked oocyte.

Integumentary structures of the stone flounder, Karefus bicoloratus were examined by means of the light and transmission electron microscopy. Stratified epidermal layer consists of supporting cells, unicellular glands and granular cells. The epidermal layer could be classified into superficial, intermediated and basal layer by morphology and structure of the supporting cells . The cytoplasm of supporting cells is divided into cortex and medullar part. In the cortex microfilaments are well developed. Mucous cells of unicellular gland were observed in the superficial and intermediated layer of the epidermis. The mucous materials were identified as glycoprotein of neutral and carboxylated mucosubstance by histochemical methods. Club cell has well developed smooth endoplasmic reticula and Golgi complex in the cytoplasm. Granular cells were observed in the intermediated and basal layer, and the cytoplasm is occupied with membrane-bounded granules of electron dense. Three types of pigment cells could be distinguished with electron density of cytoplasmic inclusions. Nerve myelins were observed near the pigment cells.

Triploid fish have attracted the attention of fish farmers owing to of their larger cell size compared to that of diploid fish and their ability to utilize the energy required for sexual maturation for growth instead. However, the effect of increased growth in triploid fish has shown varying results. Therefore, this study aimed to compare growth between diploid and triploid starry flounders and diploid and triploid hybrid juveniles (starry flounder, Platichthys stellatus ♀×stone flounder, Kareius bicoloratus ♂) based on breeding water temperature to investigate the effect of increased growth in triploid fishes. The experiment was performed by categorizing the water temperature as high temperature (EXP. 1, 14.5-23.5℃) and low temperature (EXP. 2, 6.4-13.3℃) based on the optimal water temperature for starry flounder breeding. In EXP. 1, the growth of starry flounder triploids and hybrid triploids was significantly higher than that of diploids. However, in EXP. 2 the weight gain and specific growth rate of the starry flounder triploid were higher, and the growth of starry flounder was higher than that of the hybrids.
