This paper describes reproduction, population structure, growth and size at sexual maturity of a deep-water mud shrimp (Solenocera melantho) in the adjacent waters of Geomun Island, Korea. The shrimp was caught by a beam trawl from November 1998 to December 1999. Spawning period was estimated by gonadosomatic index to be from August to early November with a peak in October to early November. Female shrimps were $12\%$ matured at 16 mm in carapace length, $33\%$ matured at 18 mm and $75\%$ matured at 22 mm. The size at $50\%$ maturity for female was estimated to be 20.65 mm in carapace length. Breeding season was estimated to be from August to early November with a peak in October to early November. The size at $50\%$ inseminated was 19.81 mm CL. The fecundity was 87,500-405,200 and related exponentially to carapace length and total weight. This species survived between 25 and 26 months. The maximum carapace length of females and males were 48 mm and 34 mm respectively. Sex ratio was $51.3\%$, and the females were preponderant. Growth was estimated by modified von Bertalanffy growth function incorporating seasonal variation in growth in both years females (K=1.019/yr and $L_{\infty}$=51.731 mm CL) grew faster, reaching a larger size at a given age than males (K=1.848/yr, and $L_{\infty}$=27.499 mm CL). This is indicated by differences in growth performance indices $(\varphi')$ between females (3.291) and males (3.145).

Three dietary ME levels of 3,200, 2,900 and 2,600 kcal /kg in the same 13% single-stage low protein diet were compared to evaluate the effect of ME levels of grower diets on egg-type pullet growth and subsequent laying performance. As the ME levels of grower diets decreased, cumulative feed and protein consumptions increased(P<0.05), however, the ME intake and body weight at 18 wk of age decreased(P<0.05). Grower feed cost decreased as the dietary ME level was decreased, but no significant difference was found among dietary ME levels of grower diets. During the laying period, sexual maturity, hen-day egg production and average egg weight were not significantly affected by the ME levels of grower diet, however, daily feed intake and feed required per egg decreased as the dietary ME level of grower diet was reduced(P<0.05). Results of this study indicate that pullets can be reared on the low ME diet of 2,600 kcal /kg and it would he economical to utilize the low energy diet during the growing period when they are reared on a 13% single-stage low protein diet.

Wattle length, width, and area were measured to classify bilateral asymmetries in four lines of chickens. The lines were the S26 generation of White Leghorns selected for high (HAS) or low (LAS) response to sheep red blood cells and sublines in which selection had been relaxed for three generations (high antibody relaxed [HAR] and low antibody relaxed [LAR]). Antibody titers (AB) were greater for HAS than for HAR with both greater than for LAS and LAR which while different for males did not differ for females. The low antibody lines were heavier and reached sexual maturity at younger age than the high antibody lines. In general, wattle length, width, and area were greater in the low than high antibody lines. In 24 comparisons for bilaterality 18 exhibited fluctuating asymmetry and 6 exhibited directional asymmetry with 5 of the 6 being for wattle length. There was not a clear pattern for changes in degree of asymmetry when selection was relaxed for 3 generations. For females, the relative asymmetry (RA) of wattle area was larger ($p{\leq}0.05$) for HAR than for LAR and not different from the selected lines and relaxed lines. There were no differences among lines for RA of wattle length and width of females and wattle length, width, and area of males.

산난종계의 주요 경제형질인 산난양의 개량은 단기검정에 의한 조기선발이 실용화되고 있는 바 산난수에 대하여 조기선발 하였을 경우 조기선발의 최적시기 및 조기선발에서 기대되는 상관적 선발효율을 알아본 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 2계통의 일반능력을 조사란 평균치는 초산일령에서 150.5 일과 159.1 일이었고 조기산란수는 W계통에서 후기산란수는 B계통에서 더 많이 산란하였고 총산란수는 두 계통 모두 272개로 비슷하게 산란하였다. 2. 초산일령과 산란수에 대한 유전력 및 표준오차 추정치는 두 계통에서 전자매분산성분으로 추정하였을 때 $0.37\pm0.09$~$0.49\pm0.10$과 $0.18\pm0.10$x~$0.33\pm0.08$로 추정되었다. 특히 산란수에 대한 추정치는 W계통은 모분산성분에 의한 추정치가, B계통에서는 부분산성분에 의한 추정치가 더 높았고 두 계통 모두 후기산란수에 대한 유전력보다 조기산란수에 대한 유전력이 더 높게 추정되었다. 3. 각 조사형질들 간의 유전상관 및 표준오차의 추정결과는 W와 B계통에서 전자매공분산성분에 의하여 추정하였을 때 조기산란수와의 유전상관에 있어서 후기산란수는 $0.46\pm0.15$와 $0.39\pm0.16$, 총산란수는 $0.77\pm0.07$와 $0.76\pm0.08$ 초산일령은 -$0.77\pm0.06$와 $-0.82\pm0.05$이었고 후기산란수와는 총산란수는 $0.92\pm0.03$과 $0.89\pm0.04$로 비교적 높게 추정되었으며 초산일영령 $-0.11\pm0.17$과 $-0.15\pm0.18$로 미약한 원의 상관을 보였다. 총산란수와 초산일령과의 유전상관은 W계통에서 $-0.41\pm0.13$과 B계통에서 -$0.50\pm$0.13으로 모두 원의 상관을 보여 산란수에 준한 선발은 초산일영을 단축시킨다는 것을 추측할 수 있다. 4. 선발효율의 추정결과는 초산 시부터 40주령까지의 산란수에 의하여 선발하는 것이 가장 효율적인 것으로 추정되었으나 (1.69와 1.80) 이 시기의 산란수에 의하여 선발하였을 경우 초산일령과의 견전상관을 고려할 때 초산일영을 크게 단축시킬 것으로 사료되며 또한 초산일령의 단축으로 인한 난중의 감소 및 자료수집에 필요한 경비 등을 고려할 때 31주령 이후, 특히 31주령부터 40주령까지의 산란기녹에 의하여 선발하는 것이 바람직 할 것으로 사료된다.

In the study for a differentiation and development of spermatogonial cells, the researchers should commonly require a simple, fast and reasonable method that could evaluate the developmental stage of male germ cells without any damage and also relentlessly culture them so far as a cell stage aiming at experimental applications. For developing the efficient method to identify the stage of sperm cells, the morphological characteristics of sperm cells were investigated by staining the cells with blue fluorescent dye Hoechst 33258, and a criterion for male germ cell classification was elicited from results of the previous investigation, then the efficiency of the criterion was verified by applying it to assort the germ cells recovered from male mice in age from 6 to 35 days. As morphological characteristics, spermatogonia significantly differed from spermatocytes in size, appearance and fluorescent patches of nucleus, and spermatids could also be distinguished from spermatozoa by making a difference in the volume and shape of nucleus and the shape and fluorescence of tail. Aforesaid criterion was applicable for classifying in vitro cultured sperm cells by verifying its efficiency and propriety for assorting the stages of testicular germ cells. However, the fluorescent staining showed that germ cells in mouse testis should be dramatically differentiated and developed at 21 days and 35 days of age, which were known as times of sexual puberty and maturity in male mice, respectively. In conclusion, the results indicated that this simple criterion for sperm cell classification using fluorescence staining with Hoechst 33258 may be highly efficient and reasonable for spermatogenesis study.

Objective: We report monitoring conservation effect for a Chinese indigenous chicken (Langshan) breed using major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and DNA barcords. Methods: The full length of MHC B-G gene and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene in generations 0, 5, 10, 15, 16, and 17 was measured using re-sequencing and sequencing procedures, respectively. Results: There were 292 single nucleotide polymorphisms of MHC B-G gene identified in six generations. Heterozygosity (He) and polymorphic information content (PIC) of MHC B-G gene in generations 10, 15, 16, and 17 remained stable. He and PIC of MHC B-G gene were different in six generations, with G10, G15, G16, G17 >G5>G0 (p<0.05). For the COI gene, there were five haplotypes in generations 0, 5, 10, 15, 16, and 17. Where Hap2 and Hap4 were the shared haplotypes, 164 individuals shared Hap2 haplotypes, while Hap1 and Hap3 were the shared haplotypes in generations 0 and 5 and Hap5 was a shared haplotype in generations 10, 15, 16, and 17. The sequence of COI gene in 6 generations was tested by Tajima's and D value, and the results were not significant, which were consistent with neutral mutation. There were no differences in generations 10, 15, 16, and 17for measured phenotypic traits. In other generations, for annual egg production, with G5, G10, G15, G16, G17>G0 (p<0.05). For age at the first egg and age at sexual maturity, with G10, G15, G16, G17>G5>G0 (p<0.05). Conclusion: Combined with the results of COI gene DNA barcodes, MHC B-G gene, and phenotypic traits we can see that genetic diversity remained stable from generations 10 to 17 and the equimultiple random matching pedigrees conservation population conservation effect of Langshan chicken was effective as measured by these criteria.

본 연구는 토종 종계의 육성기 체중과 산란 능력 간의 연관성을 규명하고자 성숙 이전 주령별 체중과 이들의 초산일령, 산란율 및 난중과의 상관 관계를 분석하였다. 공시계는 (주)한협원종이 보유한 신품종 토종 종계 1,384수로써 발생부터 20주령까지의 체중과 초산일령, 초산이후 50주령까지의 일계 산란율 및 산란지수, 32주령 및 50주령 난중을 분석 대상으로 하였다. 분석 결과, 육성 초기 체중과 초산일령 간에는 정(positive)의 상관이, 육성 후기 체중과 초산일령 간에는 부(negative)의 상관이 나타났다. 육성기 체중과 일계 산란율 및 산란지수 간에는 비슷한 상관계수를 보이고, 육성전기 체중과 산란율 간에는 부의 상관이, 육성 후기 체중과는 정의 상관을 보였다. 육성기 체중과 32주령 난중 간에는 거의 상관 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났고, 50주령 난중과는 낮은 정의 상관을 보였다. 결론적으로 토종 종계에 있어서 8주령 이전까지의 육성 초기 체중과 산란 능력 간에는 거의 연관성이 없는 것으로 보여지고, 12주령 이후 육성 후기 체중과 산란 능력 간에는 정의 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 육성 후기 때 병아리의 체중이 증가할수록 성 성숙이 빠르고, 산란율도 높고 난중도 증가함을 시사한다. 따라서 토종 종계 모계의 경우 육성 후기 병아리의 체중 관리가 매우 중요하고, 이때 종계들의 체중이 표준 체중 이상이 되도록 유지하여야 한다.

A study was conducted to determine the effects of restricted feeding and feed form on the growth performance, characteristics of carcass and digestive tract, and days to first egg of Japanese quail (JQ, Coturnix coturnix japonica). A total of 240 oneweek-old JQ chicks were allocated randomly into 4 experimental groups that consisted of 3 replicates according to a 2${\times}$2 factorial arrangement for two feeding methods (ad libitum, AF and restricted feeding, RF) and two diet forms (mash, MD and crumble, CD). The JQ chicks were placed in a room with floor battery brooders and fed a commercial starter diet from 7 to 14 d of age. According to the experimental design, four treatments (1: ad libitum MD, 2: restricted MD, 3: ad libitum CD, and 4: restricted CD) were applied. Feed restriction was applied by 30% reduction of ad libitum feed intake for both MD and CD from 15 to 28 d of age. All birds were fed ad libitum with treatment diets from 29 d of age until the first laid egg seen (45 d of age). The commercial starter diet, MD and CD were in the same nutrient content (240 g crude protein with 13.4 MJ ME per kg diet). The body weight and overall feed conversion ratio (g feed/g gain) were higher (p<0.05) for the AF quails than the RF at 42 d of age. Carcass weights, dressing percentage and percentage yields of breast and back were similar for AF and RF groups at 42 d of age. The RF delayed (p<0.05) onset of egg production 2 days compared to the AF. Quail fed with the CD showed higher value (p<0.05) for carcass weight and dressing percentage at 42 d of age compared to birds fed with the MD. The interaction effect of feeding method${\times}$feed form on any of the studied parameters was not significant. The results suggest that feed restriction as in the present study can achieve a better feed conversion without reduction in carcass weight, and a significant benefit of feeding the crumble diet over the mash diet was obtained in terms of carcass weight in the JQ.
