Copepods are a major food source for marine fish larvae in nature. Many studies on copepods culture have been conducted to develop a new live food for the seedling production of marine fish larvae. But fish farmers still depend on rotifer and Artemia nauplii. This study was carried out to find suitable copepods as live food for the larvae in hatchery. Eight species of copepods (1 calanoid, 2 cyclpoid, 5 harpacticoid) that were fed Isochrysis galbana were examined in terms of the size of nauplii, fecundity, amino acids, and fatty acids contents. These species were divided into small (nauplii length 46-86 ${\mu}m$) and large (nauplii length 120-188 ${\mu}m$) size group. Nitokra spinipes in the small group and Tigriopus japonicus in the large group showed the highest fecundity with 151.1 and 139.6 nauplii production per gravid female, respectively. With regard to nutrients, essential amino acids were the highest with 21.2% in cyclopoid Paracyclopina nana in the small group and n-3 HUFA were the highest in calanoid Pseudodiaptomus inopinus (8.5 ${\mu}g/mg$) in the large group and P. nana (8.8 ${\mu}g/mg$). In terms of the size, fecundity, and nutritional value of copepods examined in this study, N. spinipes and P. nana seem to be suitable copepod species to develop as a new live food for small mouth fish larvae.

We investigated the effects of shell height on reproductive potential of the female Rapana venosa in three regions of different salinities (the coastal zone of the Gwangyang Bay (S-1); the upper reaches (S-3); lower reaches (S-2) of the Seomjin River). The number of egg capsules, egg capsule height, and fecundity associated with reproductive potential of larger female rapa whelks were higher than those of smaller individuals in all three regions. Correlation analyses showed that there is a significant positive correlation between egg capsule and female shell height. Mean of shell heights, egg capsule heights, the number of egg capsules in an egg mass, and fecundity in an egg capsule produced from female individuals inhabiting S-1 region were markedly higher than those inhabiting S-2 and S-3 regions. In particular, the fecundity of the rapa whelk increased with the salinity and shell height. Although large rapa whelks produced a large number of egg capsules at S-1 region, those at S-3 habitat laid less egg capsules with smaller size. If these rapa whelks were put into S-2 region, the number of egg capsules produced by a female at S-2 region was slightly larger than those produced by a female at S-3 region. This provides a clear evidence that the number of the egg capsules can be controlled by the salinity. In the coastal zone of the Gwangyang Bay and the upper reaches of Seomjin River, the fecundity of this species was estimated to be approximately 182,000-1,302,000 eggs/ind./yr.

포식성 무당벌레(Harmonia axyridis)의 난(卵)을 대상으로 저독성 약제를 선발하기 위해 농약 처리 후 esterase 활성에 대해 조사하였다. 무당벌레의 난에는 3개의 esterase bands가 존재하였고 esterase의 활성에 영향을 주는 살충제(Methidation, Chlorpyrifos, Phenthoate)는 유기인계인 것으로 나타났다. 살균제로는 트리아졸계 계통의 Hexaconazole과 Triflumizole 그리고 피리미딘계의 Nuarimol에서 esterase의 활성 저해가 관찰되었다. 선발된 농약을 바탕으로 무당벌레의 산란율과 부화율을 조사하였다. Esterase에 강한 활성저해를 보였던 농약에서는 산란율과 부화율도 낮게 나타났으며, esterase에 약하게 혹은 전혀 영향을 주지 않았던 농약에서도 정도 차이는 있으나 산란율과 부화율에 영향을 주는 것으로 관찰되었다.

곤충은 주변환경에 적응하며 발육과 번식을 통해 진화하여 왔다. 온도발육모형을 이용하여 곤충과 응애 분류군별 공통고유최적온도, 발육최적온도, 산란최적온도를 산출하기 위해 112편의 논문에서 응애류 14종, 딱정벌레목 8종, 파리목 5종, 노린재목 31종, 벌목 7종, 나비목 18종, 메뚜기목 1목, 다듬이벌레목 5종, 총채벌레목 5종의 온도발육과 산란자료를 분석하였다. 분석을 통하여 총채벌레목을 제외하고 공통고유최적온도는 발육최적온도보다는 산란최적온도와 차이가 적었다. 본 종설을 통해 공통고유최적온도는 발육최적온도보다는 산란최적온도와 밀접한 관계가 있을 가능성이 높음을 제안하였다.

Mulberry leaf roller, Diaphania pulverulentalis (Hampson), is a major pest of mulberry, Morus alba. The life table construction from present investigation reveals the age specific survival $(1_{x)}$ and the age specific fecundity $(m_{x})$ of the pest. The female contributed the highest egg production $(m_{x} ＝ 12.75)4 in the life cycle on the $27^{th}$ day and the lowest $(m_{x} = 0.8)$ on the 37$^{th}$ day of the pivotal age. The female progeny production was observed to be intensive for the first six days after the preoviposition period, beyond which it declines steadily, The fecundity of D. pulverulentalis varies between 60-140. The first female mortality within the cohort occurred 4 days after the adult emergence and mortality increased thereafter, One generation is completed in 33.08 days. The female dominated sex ratio (1: 7.18 days) was recorded.

Heterosis was studied involving two multivoltine silkworm breeds viz, APM1 and SLKSPM through rearing and isozyme analysis. A positive significant heterotic effect was observed in fecundity, hatching % and survivability. The heterobeltiosis was observed only in fecundity and hatching %. Isozyme analysis of ${\alpha}-esterase$ showed variation in loci and allelic expression. The allele with heterozygosity $(Est-2^{12})$ was observed at the Est-2 locus in $F_1$ progeny. Est-3 was observed in $F_1$ progeny, whereas it was completely absent in both parental lines. The present study suggests that the markers ($Est-2^{12}$ and Est-3) targeted for introgression may be useful for the improvement of fecundity and survivability as the phenomenon of heterosis was observed only in $F_1$ progeny.

무당벌레(Harmonia axyridis) 성충의 인공사료(닭의 간 5 parts: 설탕 2 parts, v/W)와 사육법을 개발하였다. 7월 중순에 야외에서 채집한 번데기를 우화시켜 $30^{\circ}C$(16L:8D)에서 사육하면서 무당벌레 성충 암컷의 난황단백질(yolk protein)생성, 산란력(fecundity), 수명(longevity)을 조사하였다. Western blot결과에 의하면 우화후 5일째부터 혈림프에서 낭황 단백질(Vg3와 Vg4)이 발견된다. 무당벌레 100쌍을 대상으로 1쌍씩 개별 사육한 결과 초산은 우화후 7일째부터 시작되고 일생동안 $163.9\pm$144.0개의 알을 산란한다. 수명은 평균 $60.5\pm$36.8일이며 일생동안 단 한번의 산란도 하지 않는 개체는 17%이다. Methoprene(2.5$\mu\textrm{g}$/2$\mu$l)을 처리하면 무처리구보다 1일 빠른 우화 후 4일부터 난황 단백질이 확인된다. 무당벌레의암컷 30개체에서 methoprene(2.5$\mu\textrm{g}$/$2\mu$l)을 1주일 간격으로 반복 투여하여 본 결과 15일이내에 초산을 하는 비율이 무처리구의 51%에서 83.3%로 증가한다. Methoprene은 모든 개체의 산란을 가능하게 함으로서 개체군의 산란력을 높이는 효과를 준다. 무당벌레는 methoprene을 소량(2.5$\mu\textrm{g}$)으로 매주 투여하면 수명에 별다른 영향을 받지 않지만, 과다한 양(12.5$\mu\textrm{g}$)의 단 1회 투여는 수명을 단축시키고 산란력을 저하시킨다.

복숭아혹진딧물(Myzus persicae $S\H{u}lzer$)의 성충 발육과 산자수를 $15-32.5^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 60-70%, 광주기 16L:8D 조건에서 조사하고 생명표를 작성하였다. 복숭아혹진딧물 성충은 $15-25^{\circ}C$까지 수명이 $13.1{\sim}8.4$일로 온도의 상승에 따라 성충기간이 짧아졌으며, 산자수는 $20^{\circ}C$에서 40.8마리로 최고치를 보였으나 $15-27.5^{\circ}C$까지 산자수 차이에 유의성이 인정되지 않았다. 다만 $30^{\circ}C$에서는 8.4마리로 고온에 영향을 받은 것으로 보인다. 또한 복숭아혹진딧물 성충의 일일 산자수는 $25^{\circ}C$에서 5.1마리였고, $15^{\circ}C$와 $30^{\circ}C$에서는 모두 2.8마리로 온도가 높거나 낮아지면서 일일산자수가 적어졌다. 온도별 총 산자수를 이용하여 작성한 산자 모형을 보면 $18.3^{\circ}C$에서 51.0마리로 최고값을 보인다. 또한 약충 발육시 사망률과 성충 수명, 산자수를 이용하여 생명표를 작성하였는데 복숭아혹진딧물은 Ro가 $27.5^{\circ}C$에서 36.5, $r_m$은 0.4, Dt는 1.6, 기간증가율은 1.5, 세대기간은 8.1로 $27.5^{\circ}C$가 복숭아혹진딧물 증가에 가장 적합한 온도로 나타났다.

Experiments were held in Egypt to test a new Package of practices for commercial cocoon production, including adding secondary macro and micronutrients to the mulberry garden, disease free rearing regime, low temperature rearing in young instars and natural mounting fur silkworms. This package for seed silkworm rearing lead to increase in fecundity by 67-121eggs (15.12-26.22%) and yield of standard boxes per 1 parent egg boxes by 57-58 egg boxes(48.33-51.66%) respectively in comparison th the traditional cocoon production technology.

The turnip aphid is a worldwide pest, damaging mainly to crucifers. In order to understand the life parameters of Lipaphis erysimi for the eventual goal of control, the developmental periods, survival rates, lifespan, and fecundity of the species were investigated under five temperature regimes ($15^{\circ}C-35^{\circ}C$). Furthermore, the efficacy of several environment-friendly agricultural materials (EFAMs) that are on the market was subjected to test in order to obtain further accurate information. The developmental period of the turnip aphid nymph was longest at $15^{\circ}C$ as 16.9 days, shortened as temperature goes up to $25^{\circ}C$ (5.4 days), and then somewhat increased at $30^{\circ}C$ (5.9 days), suggesting that the most efficient temperature for nymphal development could be around $25^{\circ}C$. Mortality of the nymphal turnip aphid was obvious at $35^{\circ}C$, whereas it was minimal at other temperature schemes. The longevity of adults shortened as temperature goes up to $30^{\circ}C$. In particular, the maximum lifespan for adults continued for 55 days at $15^{\circ}C$, but shortened to 21 days at $30^{\circ}C$. The total fecundity was 35.7 at $15^{\circ}C$, 81 at $20^{\circ}C$, 64.2 at $25^{\circ}C$, and 6.6 individuals at $30^{\circ}C$, showing the highest fecundity at $20^{\circ}C$. After the turnip aphids were successfully stabilized in indoor environment the insecticidal activity was tested and mortality was determined 12, 24, 36, and 48 hrs after EFAMs are treated. Several on-the-market EFAMs showed more than 90% of insecticidal activity within 24 hrs or 48 hrs, but a few showed less than 90% activity, signifying importance of selection of proper EFAMs.
