We inestigated the reproductive cycle with ovarian development of Chlamys farreri by histological observations, and seasonal changes in biochemical components of the adductor muscle, digestive diverticula and ovary were studied by biochemical analysis. The reproductive cycle of this species can be classified into five successive stages: early active stage (January to March), late active stage (March to April), ripe stage (April to August), partially spawned stage (June to August) and spent/inactive stage (August to January). According to ANOVA test, there were significant differences (p<0.05) in total protein, total lipid and glycogen contents among months for all of the adductor muscle, digestive diverticula and ovary. Total protein contents in ovary and digestive diverticula showed significant changes(ANOVA, p<0.05) during the study period, while that in the adductor muscle did not. Total protein content was highest in the adductor muscle, followed by ovary, and lowest in digestive diverticula. There was no correlation in total protein content between the adductor muscle and digestive diverticula (p=0.220). But strong positive correlation was found between adductor muscle and ovary (r=0.450, p=0.013). ANOVA showed that there were significant differences in total lipid and glycogen contents among months for all of the adductor muscle, ovary, and digestive diverticula (p<0.05). The monthly changes in total lipid content were highly variable in ovary and digestive gland. High contents of total lipid were foung during April and May-June in ovary, while March and June-July in digestive diverticula. There was a strong negative correlation in total lipid content between ovary and digestive diverticula (r=- 0.397, p=0.030). Unlike total protein of total lipid, glycogen content in the adductor muscle was most dynamic. It showed more than 36-fold changes in the adductor muscle (at most 3-fold change in ovary) during the study period. Glycogen content was higher during May-July in the adductor muscle, While it was higher in March and august in digestive diverticula. There was a strong negative correlation in glycogen content between the adductor muscle and digestive diverticula (r=-0.584, p=0.001).

We investigated the gonadosomatic index (GSI), germ cell development, reproductive cycle of the Afriean lungfish Protorierus annecteus (Owen) by histological observations and morphometric data. Samples were collected from the river Orie and its flood of Nigeria, from January to December 2000. The fish is dioecious and oviparous. Monthly changes in the gonadosomatic index (GSI) showed a similar pattern to change in the mean oocyte diameter and the reproductive cycle. The reproductive period occurred from March to July-August; the spawning period was once a year between truly and August, and the main spawning occurred in August when active and voracious feeding occurred during the rainy season. In the resting (dormant) stage after spawning, fish stopped feeding and aestivated during the dry season from December to February. The reproductive cycle of the species can be divided into five successive stages, quiescent stage (March to April), developing/maturing stage (April to lune), ripe/spawning stage (July to August), post-spawning stage (September to November), and resting (dormant) stage (December to February).

This study correlated changes in estradiol-l7$\beta$ ($E_2$), testosterone (T), 17$\alpha$,20-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (DHP), and vitellogenin (VTG) levels with changes in the gonadosomatic index (GSI) and ovarian histology during the annual reproductive cycle of the wild marbled sole, Limanda yokohamae. Synchronous oocyte development occurs in this fish. Ovary maturity was classified into four periods, based on histological observations: the spawning (December to February), post-spawning (February to April), recovery (May to August), and vitellogenic (September to November) periods. Seasonal changes in the GSI were inversely correlated with water temperatures and reflected the degree of ovarian maturity. Plasma VTG levels were correlated with changes in the GSI, which increased from September to a peak in January, and levels remained comparatively high until February. Estradiol-17$\beta$ was at baseline levels (<0.11 ng/mL) during the spring and summer, and peaked rapidly (1.55$\pm$0.445 ng/mL) from October to January. Plasma T and DHP levels had a similar profile; they rose markedly during the spawning period and remained low (or were not detectable) from spring through autumn. These data indicate that changes in plsama steroid hormones and VTG levels are correlated with the annual ovarian activity of the marbled sole. Based on these results and published reports, it appears that in this species DHP is the most important maturation-inducing steroid and that T is also related to final maturation.

Gonadal development and reproductive cycle of Aplysia kurodai inhabiting the coastal waters of Jeju Island, Korea were investigated based on monthly changes of gonadosomatic index, gametogenesis, and developmental phases of ovotestis. A. kurodai was simultaneous hermaphrodite; the ovotestis generally embedded in the posterior dorsal surface of the brownish digestive gland. The ovotestis is composed of a large number of follicles, and both oocytes and sperm are produced in the same follicles. In the sampling periods, the adult A. kurodai population have characteristic of seasonal pattern present during only 10 months. The reproductive cycle can be grouped into the following successive stages in the ovary: inactive (December to February), active (December to April), mature and spawning (April to September). The gonadal development of A. kurodai coincided with rising temperature, and spawning occurred from April to September, when the temperature was high. The histological observations of the ovotestis suggested that this species have a single spawning season that extend over six months.

The Ovarian developmental phases of the reproductive cycle of Rapana venosa can be classified into five successive stages by histological study: early active stage (September to February), late active stage (December to April), ripe stage (March to July), partially spawned stage (May to August), and recovery stage (June to September). To understand the characteristics of nutrient storage and utilization in the digestive gland cells with ovarian developmental phases, we examined the digestive gland - which is the major nutrient supply organ associated with ovarian development of the female purple shell - by biochemical methods. Total protein contents in the digestive gland tissues increased in March (late active stage) and reached the maximum in May (ripe and partially spawned stages), and then their levels sharply decreased in July (partially spawned and recovery stages). Total lipid contents in the digestive gland tissues reached the maximum in January (early active stage). Thereafter, their levels rapidly decreased from May (ripe and partially spawned stages) and reached a minimum in July (partially spawned and recovery stages). The total DNA contents did not significantly change regardless of the different developmental stages of the ovary. However, it was also found from biochemical analysis that changes in total RNA content follow the same seasonal cycling to protein. These results indicate that the digestive gland is an important energy storage and supply organ in purple shells, and that the nutrient contents of the digestive gland change in response to gonadal energy needs.

1997년 3월부터 1998년 3월까지 충청남도 부여군 세도면 모세올 지역의 농수로에서 채집한 왜몰개, Aphyocypris chinensis를 대상으로 생식생태를 조사하기 위하여 연간 생식소숙도지수(GSI), 간숙도지수(HSI), 난경조성과 생식소 발달과정 및 다른 번식특성들을 조사하였다. GSI 변화, 생식소의 발달과정 및 난경조성에 대한 분석결과, 1${\sim}$2월은 정체기, 3${\sim}$5월은 2차 성장기 및 성숙기, 6월에서 7월 사이는 완숙 및 산란기, 8${\sim}$9월은 퇴화 및 휴지기, 10${\sim}$12월은 1차 성장기로 나타낼 수 있었다. HSI는 연간 2개의 피크를 나타냈으며 GSI의 변화와는 역상관 관계를 보였다. 조사지점에서의 왜몰개 암컷의 포란수는 체중과 1차 함수적으로 증가하였으며 (r$^{2}$ =0.91, n = 347), 성비는 1.4 : 1 (암컷 : 수컷) 이었다. 생식가능한 최소 체장(fork length) 범위는 암컷에서는 38 mm, 수컷에서는 33mm로 조사되었다.

낙동강하구에 위치한 부산 다대포 앞바다에서 1982년 9월부터 1983년 8월까지 채집된 전어, Kenosirus punctatus(TEMMINCK et SCHLEGEL)를 대상으로 생식생물학적 조사를 한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 전어의 난소는 경골어류의 전형적인 낭상형이고 정소는 엽상형을 나타내고 있다. 2. 생식소숙도지수는 수컷과 암컷이 각각 5, 6월이 연중 최대값을 나타내며, 수컷이 한 달 빨리 최대값에 도달한다. 이들 생식소는 수온 상승과 함께 활성화되어 고수온기전에 산란기를 마친다. 3. 산란기를 지난 개체의 난소내에는 성장에 관여하지 않은 초기난모세포들이 휴지기 상태로 월동하여 이듬해 성장에 참여하고 있다. 4. 생식주기는 수온상승이 시작되는 3월부터 활성화되어 성장기를 맞이하며 $4{\sim}5$월에는 성숙기가 되고 6월에 접어들어 1달이내 단기간의 완숙 및 산란기를 맞게 된다. 이후 7월에서 이듬해 성장기까지 회복 및 휴지기 상태를 나타낸다. 5. 전어개체군들은 난경조성의 조사 결과, 한 산란기 동안 적어도 2회 이상 산란하는 다회산란종으로 밝혀졌다. 6. 비만도의 변화는 암${\cdot}$수 모두 방란${\cdot}$방정에 의한 감소보다 계절적 수온변화와 밀접한 관계를 나타내고 있어 먹이 섭취량에 더욱 의존되는 것 같다. 7. 전장 $17.0{\sim}18.0cm$에서 군성숙도 $50\%$ 이상에 달하며, $18.0{\sim}19.0cm$에서는 전개체가 성숙에 참여했다. 또 각각의 포란수는 179개/cm, 291개/cm로서 체장이 증가함에 따라 포란수도 증가한다. 8. 생식소 성숙에 따라 뇌하수체 GTH cell의 활성과 분포면적이 확대되고 있으며, 난황축적을 완료한 난모세포를 가진 완숙개체들은 GTH cell의 활성이 퇴화되고 그 분포면적이 줄어든다.

동사리, Odontobutis platycephala 암컷의 생식주기를 밝히고자 1995년 12월부터 1991년 11월까지 생식소 중량지수(gonadosomatic iadex GSI), 난소의 난소여포 발달 및 혈중 성스테로이드 호르몬 변화 양상을 조사하였다. GSI는 7월과 8힐에 0.35$\~$0.72였으며, 난소내 대부분의 난모세포들은 염색인기와 주변인기 단계였다(출현 빈도: $87\%\~96\%$). 9월의 GSI는 1.20$\pm$0.12였으며, 일부의 난황포기의 난모세포들과 난황형성기의 난모세포도 출현하였으나 극히 일부에 지나지 않았다(각각의 출현 빈도:$22.8\%,\;2.2\%$). 10월부터 GSI는 완만하게 증가하여 12월 4.59$\pm$0.61에 달하였으며 난황형성기 난모세포들이 약간 증가하였다(12월의 출현 빈도: $22.1\%$). 1월에는 GSI의 큰 변화는 없었으나 난황형성기 난모세포들은 12월보다 더 증가하였다(출현 빈도: $51.2\%$). 2월부터 GSI는 급격히 증가하여 3월에 10.51$\pm$1.04로 연중 가장 높았으며, 난소의 난황형성기 난모세포들도 연중 최고 수준에 이르렀다(3월의 출현 빈도. $60\%$). 4월부터 GSI는 감소하여 6월에는 1.11$\pm$0.35였으며 성숙기의 난모세포를 가진 난소여포들과 배란 후 퇴화되는 난소여포들이 나타났고, 이들의 출현 빈도는 4월에 가장 높았다(성숙기 난모세포출현 빈도: 4월 $40\%$, 5월 $12\%$, 6월 $5\%$). Estradiol-17$\beta$($E_2$)의 혈중 농도는 8월에 0.84$\pm$0.20$ng/m{\ell}$로 12월까지는 비슷한 수준에 머물렀으나 1월부터는 증가하여 3월에 2.85$\pm$0.35$ng/m{\ell}$로 연중 가장 높았으며, 4월부터는 감소하여 7월에 0.14$\pm$0.02$ng/m{\ell}$로 가장 낮았다(P<0.05). 17$\alpha$-hydroxprogesterone(17$\alpha$-OHP)의 혈중 농도는 3월에 13.37$\pm$0.52$ng/m{\ell}$로 높았을 뿐 다른 시기동안은 $3ng/m{\ell}$이하로 유의한 변화를 보이지는 않았다(P<0.05). 17$\alpha$, 20$\beta$-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one(17$\alpha$, 20$\beta$-P)의 혈중 농도는 4월에 0.74$\pm$0.09$ng/m{\ell}$로 최고 수준이었고 5월까지는 0.54$\pm$0.07$ng/m{\ell}$로 높은 농도를 유지했지만 그외의 시기에는 0.26ng/ml 이하로 연중 유의한 변화는 없었다(P<0.05). 이러한 결과를 종합하면, 동사리의 완숙 및 산란기는 4월$\~$6월로서 주산란기는 4월과 5월 사이이며, 7월$\~$8월은 휴지기, 9월$\~$12월은 성장기, 1월$\~$3월은 성숙기로 구분되는 생식주기를 보였으며, 이러한 변화는 성스테로이드 호르몬의 변화양상과 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 생각된다.

1983년 9월부터 1984년 8월까지 부산시 해운대 동백섬의 조간대에서 채집된 노래미. Agrammus agrammus를 대상으로 생식소의 발달과 간의 활성변화관계를 파악하기 위해 간숙도지수(HSI)의 연간변화를 조사하였고 아울러 생식주기에 따른 간세포의 활성변화를 광학 및 전자현미경적 방법에 의해 조사하였다. 간숙도지수(HSI)의 연간변화는 수컷의 경우 뚜렸하지 않으나 암컷의 경우는 추계에 증가하기 시작하여 난소가 성숙하는 동계에 최대에 이른다. 암컷에 있어서 난모세포들이 난황물질을 축적하는 시기에는 간세포들의 크기는 점차로 커지며 핵과 인도 역시 커진다. 이때에 글리코겐과 지방적들의 양은 점차로 감소되나 호염기성의 핵산물질(RNA)은 증가된다. 또한 간세포질내에는 조면소포체들이 발달 증가하는데 이들은 단백질합성과 vitellogenin 축적에 관여하고 핵근처에 나타나는 골지체는 lipoprotein 합성에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 간주된다. 방난 직전의 암컷의 간세포질내에는 글리코겐과 지방적들이 급격히 감소되나 호염기성물질(RNA)은 세포질의 주변구역에서 특히 고농도로 나타나고 있다. 그러나 방난 이후에는 이와 반대의 현상이 관찰된다. 수컷의 경우는 성적으로 성숙해 감에 따라 간세포질내에 호염기성물질이 점차로 증가하며, 암컷과 달리 글리코겐과 지방적의 양도 다량으로 관찰된다. 반면, 방정기 이후에는 간세포질내의 호염기성물질은 감소된다.
