We ran a feeding trial to determine optimal dietary protein and lipid levels for growth of juvenile long snout bullhead Leiocassis longirostris Gunther. Eight experimental diets (P20L7, P20L14, P30L7, P30L14, P40L7, P40L14, P50L7 and P50L14) were formulated to contain 20%, 30%, 40% or 50% protein combined with either 7% or 14% lipid. Three replicate groups of fish (mean mass: 3.9 g/fish) were fed one of the experimental diets ad libitum for 8 weeks. Survival of fish fed the P20L14 diet was lower than that of fish fed the P40L14, P50L7 and P50L14 diets. Growth of fish fed diets containing 7% lipid increased with increasing protein level (up to 50% protein); growth of fish fed diets containing 14% lipid increased with increasing protein level (up to 30% protein). The feed efficiency of fish fed a diet with 50% protein and 7% lipid was higher than that of other groups. Whole body moisture and lipid contents were affected by dietary lipid level but not by dietary protein level. The crude lipid contents of fish fed 14% lipid diets were higher than those fed 7% lipid diets across all protein levels (other than the 50% level). Thus, under our experimental conditions, an increase in dietary protein level improved growth and feed efficiency of fish; a diet containing 50% protein with 7% lipid was optimal for growth and effective feed utilization in juvenile long snout bullhead.

우리나라 서남해안으로 유입되고 있는 하천 및 각 수계에 서식하는 동자개과 어류를 재검토한 결과 모두 2속 6종 즉 Pseudobagrus fulvidraco, Pseudobagrus koreanus sp. nov., P. brevicorpus, Leiocassis nitidus, L. ussuriensis, L. longirostris 등으로 분류되었다. 이 중에서 P. koreanus sp. nov.와 P. brevicorpus는 한국특산 어종이다. 지금까지 Pseudobagrus sp. 로 기재해온 눈동자개는 독립종으로 하여 Pseudobagrus koreanus Uchida로 명명하였다.

Barbel structure and regenerated barbel length in the juvenile Chinese longsnout catfish Leiocassis longirostris (G$\ddot{u}$nther), were evaluated. The barbles consisted of an epidermis, a dermis, and a central rod. The epidermis harbored taste buds, granular cells and epidermal cells. The taste buds were basophilic and situated along the distal portion of the epidermis. The dermis was composed of loose connective tissue containing blood vessels pigment cells. The innermost central region was cartilage enclosed within layers of muscle layers. After 30 days, the regenerated barbel length measured $0.92{\pm}0.404mm$ at $15^{\circ}C$ (regenerated growth curve: y = 0.5085x + 4.0678, $r^2$ = 0.9654, where y is regenerated length and x is experimental period in days), $1.88{\pm}0.521mm$ at $20^{\circ}C$ (y = 0.1806x + 4.808, $r^2$ = 0.9822), and $6.44{\pm}0.751mm$ at $25^{\circ}C$ (y = 0.0914x + 4.9918, $r^2$ = 0.9944). Fifteen days after amputation, the regenerated length was significantly longer at $25^{\circ}C$ than at 15 or $20^{\circ}C$ (P < 0.05). The barbels of the Chinese longsnout catfish was the tender and flexible type, and our experimental findings provide evidence of temperature-dependent regeneration. Additional investigation of the behavior and physiology of the Chinese longsnout catfish is needed, particularly histological studies of regenerated barbels and the measurements of the numbers of taste buds per barbel under various environmental conditions.

We investigated the effects of dietary lipid sources on growth and fatty acid composition of juvenile Chinese longsnout catfish. Triplicate groups of fish (initial average weight, 3.8 g) were fed four diets containing either fish oil (FO), soybean oil (SO), linseed oil (LO) and lauric acid (LA) for 10 weeks. There were no differences among the groups in body weight, feed intake, feed efficiency, protein efficiency ratio, and body proximate composition of fish fed the diets containing different lipid sources (P > 0.05) during the study. However, fatty acids compositions of the whole body were influenced by dietary lipid source. Fish fed the SO diet had high concentration of linoleic acid, whereas those of fish fed the LO diet were rich in linolenic acid and arachidonic acid. Fish fed the FO diet had significantly (P < 0.05) higher levels of monounsaturated fatty acids such as 18:1n-9 and 20:1n-9 than those of fish fed the SO and LO diets. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3) composition of body were not influenced by dietary lipid source. The results suggest that each of FO, SO, LO or LA can be used as a lipid source in the diets of Chinese longsnout catfish without any negative effects on growth and feed utilization and these data demonstrate the potential impact which dietary fat composition can change the body fatty acid profile.

낙동강의 지류하천인 내성천은 전형적인 모래하천으로 고유한 생태계의 구조와 기능을 가지고 있다. 그러나 2016년부터 운영되고 있는 영주댐에 의하여 내성천의 댐 하류에서 하상의 변화와 이에 따른 어류상의 변화가 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 2014년부터 2016년까지 모래하천인 내성천에서 어류의 서식환경, 생물상 및 군집구조의 변화를 모니터링하기 위하여, 공사중인 영주댐 하류와 대조지소로서 서천에서 하천 환경을 조사하고 어류를 채집하였다. 내성천에 영주댐이 축조되기 시작하면서 댐 직하류에서 하상 재료의 입경 크기가 증가하였다. 영주댐이 운영되기 전 내성천에서는 피라미가 우점하였고, 조사지점에 따라서 끄리, 쉬리, 참마자, 모래무지가 아우점하였다. 내성천에서는 모래 하상에서 특이하게 서식하는 누치, 참마자, 모래무지, 흰수마자, 기름종개, 대동갱이가 발견되었다. 내성천의 영주댐 하류에서 어류 군집는 하상 재료의 입경에 따라서 돌마자, 쉬리, 꺽지 등의 자갈 하상 어종 출현 군집과 누치, 기름종개, 흰수마자 등의 모래 하상 어종 출현 군집으로 구분되었다. 또한 이들 군집은 영주댐 건설 이후에 시간이 경과함에 따라서 점차 모래 하상 어류 군집에서 자갈 하상 어류 군집으로 변하는 경향이었다. 그러므로 영주댐 하류 하천에서 환경과 어류상의 변화를 지속적으로 모니터링하여 모래하천의 생태계 보전을 위한 기초자료를 확보하여야 할 것으로 생각된다.
