Annual reproductive cycle of Siganus canaliculatus was studied based on monthly variation of gonadosomatic index (GSI) and histological changes of gonads. Samples were monthly collected by a set net along the southern coast of Jeju Island, Korea from January to December, 1996. Variation of the monthly mean GSI values showed similar trends in female and male. The GSI values increased from June and reached a peak in the spawning season in July $(9.65{\pm}1.96\;in\;females,\;10.00{\pm}4.27\;in\;males)$, and decreased rapidly thereafter. Female hepatosomatic index (HSI) values ranged from $1.26{\pm}0.22\;(in\;April)\;to\;2.34{\pm}0.39$ (in July), and male HSI values ranged from $1.27{\pm}0.21\;(in\;April)\;to\;1.87{\pm}0.30$ (in October). Annual reproductive cycle was classified into the following successive stages: in female, growing stage (from February to June), mature stage (from June to July), ripe and spawning stage (from July to August), recovery stage (from August to March); and in male, growing stage (from January to June), mature stage (from June to July), ripe and spent stage (from July to August), and recovery stage (from August to April). Based on these data, this species has a group-synchronous oocyte development and one spawning season a year.

Successful produciton of seedlings for marine fish species are highly influenced by the aquisiton of sufficient number of good-quality eggs on required time. human chorionic gonadotropin has been used to induce successful ovulation for the purpose. Rabbitfish, siganus canaliculatus, is inhabited along the coast of Cheju Province and treated valuably for raw fish and fish roasted with seasoning. Female wild-captured rabbitfish (314 to 279 g in body weigth) were injected into intraperitoneal space with human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) of 5,00,1,000, and 1,500 IU/kg body weight during spawning season of July 14 (trial 1), and July 27 (trial 2). Test fish in trial 1 were injected two times, first on July 14 and second on July 21 with one weekinterval because of no ovulation symptoms, but just one time in trial 2. All females injected both 1,000 and 1,500 IU/kg body weight ovulated in all trials. Among 500 IU/kg injection treatments, just one female ovulated in trial 1 showing 25% of ovulation rate, but none ovulated in trial 2. Ovulation was not occurred in control goups during test period. Time to reach ovulation after injection was 172 to 270 hours in trial 1 and 77 to 132 hours in trial 2, showing shorter as spawning season approached. Generally, ovulation of smaller females were late than that of larger ones. Gonadosomatic index (GSI) and pseudo-gonadosomatic index (Pseudo-GSI) were ranged 22 to 33% and 19 to 28%, respectively. One female spawned 406,200 to 1,032,000 eggs, and obtainable eggs per 100g of body weight were calculated by 130,000 to 190,000. Spawning rates were comparatively high by 96.0 to 98.4%. Rates to reach embryo-formation and hatching were higher in 500 high by 96.0 to 98.4%. Rates to reach embryo-formation and hatching were higher in 500 and 1,000 IU/kg treatments than in 1,500 IU/kg treatment. The result of present study demontrates that HCG treatment during spawning season could become very useful for ovulation of rabbitfish and the suitable dosage was suggested as 1,000 IU/kg of body weight.

제주 연안에서 주로 어획되는 연안 정착성 고급 어종인 흰점독가시치, S. canaliculatus 양식 기술개발을 목적으로 부화 자어의 먹이 섭취, rotifer와 Artemia nauplii에 대한 섭식 생태 등 종묘생산을 위한 기초적인 연구와 자어 사육 시스템의 개선과 새로운 먹이생물을 적용하여 대량 종묘생산을 실시하였다. 흰점독가시치 자어의 먹이 계열별 생존율 실험은 부화후 1일째부터 참굴의 trochophore 유생과 B. rotundiformis를 공급한 실험구에서 부화 후 10일째까지 평균 3.3%가 생존하였으나, rotifer와 ciliata를 공급한 실험구 및 rotifer와 N. oculata를 공급한 실험구에서는 정상적으로 섭식하지 못하고 부화 후 5일과 6일째 모두 사망하였다. 자어의 성장에 따른 rotifer의 1회 섭식량은 부화 후 5일째에는 평균 11개체, 부화 후 9일째에는 43개체, 부화 후 15일째에는 167개체로 급격히 증가하여 19일째에는 239개체를 섭식하였다. Artemia nauplii의 일간 섭식량은 부화 후 12일째 평균 43.5개체, 부화 후 15일째부터는 섭식량이 급격히 증가하여 438개체를 섭식하였으며, 부화 후 24일째에는 자어 1마리가 하루에 평균 3,000개체를 섭식하였다. 대량 종묘생산은 야외수조(23$M^3$)에서 규조류를 번식시키고 나서 N. oculata를 첨가하면서 1주일간 물 만들기를 실시하였다. 그 이후부터는 B. rotundiformis (136${\mu}$m)와 copepoda 류를 배양한 상태에서 수정란을 수용하여 부화된 자어를 50일간 사육하였다. 또한 바윗굴의 trochophore 유생(58~62${\mu}$m)을 자어의 대량 폐사가 발생하는 위험기(부화 2~7일)에 공급하여, rotifer로의 먹이전환이 원활하게 이루어졌다. 부화 후 5일까지의 생존율은 14.9%, 부화 후 10일까지의 생존율은 11.1%였으며, 최종 사육 기간동안 생존율은 10.7%, 치어의 평균 전장은 65.5${\pm}$0.4mm 이었다.
