미이용자원인 어류 carotenoid에 관한 비교 생화학적 연구의 일환으로서, 메기과의 자연산 및 양식산 메기와 한국 특산의 담수어류인 미유기의 표피 carotenoid를 TLC, column chromatography 및 HPLC로 분리하고 NaBH$_4$에 의한 환원반응, I$_2$에 의한 이성화반응 및 UV-visible spectrophotometer로 비교하고 IR 및 Mass spectrum을 측정하여 carotenoid를 동정한 결과는 다음과 같다. 자연산 메기 표피의 총 carotenoid 함량은 0.27 mg($\pm$0.7)%였으며 carotenoid의 조성은 zeaxanthin 25.8%, diatoxanin 9.7% 및 cynthiaxanthin 9.1%로서 주성분을 이루고 있었으며 그 외 isocryptoxanthin 6.5%, $\beta$-carotene 5.1%, $\beta$-cryptoxanthin 4.3%, lutein 3.4% 및 $\alpha$-cryptoxantin 2.4%의 순으로 함유하고 있었다. 양식산 메기 표피의 총 carotenoid 함량은 0.07 mg($\pm$0.03)%로서 자연산 메기에 비해 다소 낮았으며, carotenoid의 조성은 lutein 48.5%, zeaxanin 13.9% 및 isocryptoxanin 13.3%로서 주성분을 이루고, 그 외 $\beta$-carotene 9.5%, $\beta$-cryptoxantin 1.4% 및 $\alpha$-cryptoxanthin 4.6%의 순으로 함유하고 있었다. 한편 미유기 표피의 총 carotenoid 함량은 0.75 mg($\pm$0.25)%로서 메기과의 다른 어종에 비해 함량이 높았으며, carotenoid 조성은 zeaxanthin 24.5%, 7'8'-dihydro-$\beta$ -carotene-4-ol 24.1%, 7'8'-dihydro-$\beta$-carotene 17.9% 및 7'8'-dihydro-$\beta$-carotene-3-ol 10.8%로서 주성분을 이루고 있었으며 그 외 diatoxanthin 8.7%, cynthiaxanthin 6,7% 및 lutein 5.0%의 순으로 함유하고 있었다. 이러한 결과는 parasiloxanthin과 7',8'-dihyo-parasiloxanthin을 주성분으로 함유하는 biwa호수 메기, P. asotus 표피 carotenoid 조성과 비교하여, 미유기에서는 7'8'-dihydro-$\beta$-carotene의 구조를 가진 carotenoid가 존재하였으나 자연산 및 양식산 메기에서는 발견되지 않아 특이하였다.

Parastenocaris koreana sp. nov. is described based on examination of numerous adult specimens of both sexes from several localities in Korea. Scanning electron micrographs are used to examine intra- and interpopulation variability of micro-characters, in addition to light microscopy. The new species is most closely related to the Japanese P. biwae Miura, 1969, which we redescribe based on newly collected material from the Lake Biwa drainage area. The two species differ in size, relative length of the caudal rami, shape of the anal operculum, shape of the genital double somite, relative length of the inner distal process on the female fifth leg, as well as relative length of the apical setae on the second, third, and fourth legs exopods in both sexes. Detailed examinations of three disjunct populations of P. koreana reveal also some geographical variation, especially in the surface ornamentation of somites, which may indicate some population structuring or even cryptic speciation. Lack of intraspecific variability in the number and position of sensilla on somites, as well as their potential phylogenetic significance, is a novel discovery. Both species examined here belong to the brevipes group, which we redefine to include 20 species from India (including Sri Lanka), Australia, East Asia, Northern Europe, and North America. A key to species of this group is also provided. In order to test the monophyly of the redefined brevipes group with highly disjunct distribution, as well as relationship between different species, a cladistics analysis is performed based on 39 morphological characters and with help of three outgroup taxa. Six equally parsimonious cladograms are generated, all of which show that the ingroup is well defined by at least three synapomorphies. Reconstructed phylogeny questions the previously suggested hypothesis about the origin of this group in South East Asia, with one Australian species showing the most basal position. We speculate that the present distribution of this group may be a combination of ancient vicariance and subsequent dispersal, with a possible origin in the Gondwanaland, in the rift valley between Australia and India.
