Oogenesis, the gonadosomatic index (GSI), reproductive cycle and first sexual maturation of the female Neptunea (Barbitonia) arthritica cumingii have been investigated by light and electron microscope observations. In the early vitellogenic oocyte, the Golgi complex and mitochondria were involved in the formation of glycogen, lipid droplets and yolk granules. In late vitellogenic oocytes, the rough endoplasmic reticulum and multivesicular bodies were involved in the formation of proteid yolk granules in the cytoplasm. In particular, compared with the results of other gastropods, it is a different result that appearances of cortical granules at the cortical layer and microvilli on the vitelline envelope, which is associated with heterosynthetic vitellogenesis, were not observed in vitellogenic oocytes during oogenesis. A mature yolk granule was composed of three components: main body (central core), superficial layer, and the limiting menbrane, Monthly changes in the gonadosomatic index in females were studied in 2002 and 2003 were closely associated with ovarian developmental phases. Spawning occurred between May and August in 2002 and 2003 and the main spawning occurred between June and July when the seawater temperature rose to approximately 18${\sim}$23${\circ}$C. The female reproductive cycle can be classified into five successive stages: early activestage (Septmber to October), late active stage ( November to February), ripe stage (February to June), partially spawned stage (May to Aygust), and recovery stage (June to August).

The result of the screening of lectins on 28 species of marine shell fishes(mollusks) showed that 10 species (Tapes philippinarum, Cyclosunetta menstrualis, Neptunea arthritica cumingii, Omphalius pfeifferi carpenteri, Chlorostoma argyrostoma turbinatum, Chiorostoma argyrostoma lischkei, Semisulcosira corea, Neptunea polycosta, Babylonica japonica, Noverita didyma) were present hemagglutinating properties to human A, B, and O group, and animal blood erythrocytes. A new lectin from Tapes philippinarum. was isolated and partially characterized. The lectin was purified by (NH$_4$)$_2$SO$_4$ precipitation and ion exchange chromatography on DE 53 column. Six fractions were obtained from DE 53 column by salt gradient elution but only 0.3M, and 0.4M NaCl fraction had strong lectin activity. On its 0.3M NaCl fraction, purity was identified by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This lectin was inhibited by N-acetyl-D-galactosamine. It seems that two kinds of lectin react as antigen by immunochemical studies.

To prevent food poisoning after ingesting sea snails containing tetramine we measured the tetramine $[(CH_3){_4}N^+]$ contents of sea snails from the Korean coast using both ion chromatography (IC) and spectrometry. In total, 177 sea snails were collected from the east (Pohang, 19 species, 95 individuals), the west (Gunsan, 4 species, 46 individuals), and the south (Tongyeong, 8 species, 36 individuals) coasts. The working solution of tetramine standard for IC and the tetramine extract from the salivary gland of Neptunea arthritica cumingii were very stable for one month at $18^{\circ}C,\;4^{\circ}C$, and room temperature. The tetramine content was high in the salivary gland of Heptunea species such as N. intersculpta $(9,813{\mu}g/g)$, N. arthritica $(8,240{\mu}g/g)$, N. arthritica cumingii $(6,967{\mu}g/g)$, N. eulimata $(6,946{\mu}g/g)$, N. constricta $(5,965{\mu}g/g)$, and N, amianta $(4,502{\mu}g/g)$. The mid-gut gland and muscle contained small amounts of tetramine. The tetramine content was highest in the autumn, but no clear regional variations were observed.
