1999년 1월부터 12월까지 한국 보령 연안에 서식하는 살조개 ( Protothaca jedoensis) 를 대상으로 생식소지수, 생식소 성숙 및 산란에 따른 생식주기, 산란기, 군성숙도, 그리고 성비 등 생식생태를 조사하였다. 생식소는 내장낭의 간중장선 외측을 둘러싸고 있는 외벽 근섬유막으로부터 족부의 외벽근 섬유막 사이에 있는 망상결체 조직층 사이에 다수의 소낭 또는 세관으로 분포하였다 . 난소는 수많은 난소소낭으로, 정소는 다수의 정소세관들로 구성되어 있다. 암수의 생식소지수 (GI)의 월별 변화는 2월부터 점진적으로 증가하기 시작하여, 5월에 최대에 이른 후 6월부터 급격히 감소하여 11월에 최소에 이르고 있어 생식주기의 변화와 유사하였다. 본 종의 산란기는 1년에 1회로 5-7월사이에 일어나며, 산란성기는 해수 수온이 20$^{\circ}C$이상인 6월과 7월사이 이었다. 살조개 암수의 생식주기는 초기활성기 (12-3월), 후기활성기 (2-5월), 완숙기 (4-7월), 부분산란기 (5-8월), 퇴화 및 비활성기 (7-1월) 의 연속적인 5단계로 구분할 수 있었다. 암수 개체의 군성숙도(%) 는 각장 30.1-35.0 mm 인 경우 군성숙도 (%) 는 각각 52.6%와 60.0%이었고, 각장 45.1 mm 이상인 암 ,수 개체들의 성비는 1:1로 유의한 차를 보이지 않았다(X$^2$ = 0.40, p > 0.05).

Eyestalk ablation (ESA) is commonly used in aquaculture to stimulate ovarian maturation in crustaceans, and methyl farnesoate (MF) affects crustacean molting and reproduction. To investigate the physiological effects of ESA and MF treatments on the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei, we compared the effects of single eyestalk removal and MF injections. The ESA group had the lowest survival rate (50%), and individuals in the $0.1{\mu}g$ and $1.0{\mu}g$ MF-treated groups had survival rates of 80 and 73.3%, respectively. Conversely, molting numbers were highest in the ESA group, and similar to those of the 1.0-${\mu}g$ MF group. To investigate shrimp growth, we measured body weight during the experimental period and found that individuals in the ESA and $1.0{\mu}g$ MF groups showed significant increases in body weight. Furthermore, to investigate the effects of ESA and MF treatments on gonadal maturation, the gonad somatic index (GSI) was calculated after the experiment. All treated groups (ESA and MF) had higher GSI values than the control group, but the ESA and $1.0{\mu}g$ MF groups were not significantly different. Using histological ovary analysis, we determined that all treated groups showed indications of the previtellogenic stage, unlike the control group (immature stage). These results suggest that the high-MF-concentration treatment produced effects similar to those of ESA with respect to molting number, growth, and ovarian maturation.

The maturation and spawning of white crocker Pennahia argentatus were investigated using samples collected in the Southern Sea of Korea from January to December 2018. We analysed monthly changes in maturity stage, gonad-osomatic index (GSI), total length (TL) at 50% group maturity. The spawning period was May to July. Fecundity varied between 71,627 and 888,041 eggs. The relationship between the fecundity and TL of the fish was expressd in the fecundity equation as F=0.2198TL^4.2784 (r²=0.8423). The percentage of sexually mature females estimated from a logistic function was over 50% for the size group 19.33 cm (total length, TL).

Sexual maturation and reproductive cycle of the bat star Asterina pectinifera were investigated by histological method. Specimens were collected monthly in Donghwari, Gosunggun, Korea from January 2004 to February 2005. The bat star was dioecious. The gonads are composed of a number of gametogenic follicles. The gonadosomatic index (GSI) of female and male were reached the maximum in July (5.72, 4.54) and the minimum in December (0.89) and January, February (0.51), and the gonad index (GI) of female and male were reached the maximum in July (3.53, 3.91) and the minimum in August (0.95) and October to December (1.0), respectively. The main spawning was from August to September. The reproductive cycle of the bat star could be divided into five stages: in the female, inactive (November-February), early active (January February), late active (March-June), ripe (July), spent and degenerative (August-November) and in the male, inactive (November-February), early active (January-March), late active (April-June), ripe (July), spent and degenerative (August-October), respectively.

Flathead flounder Hippoglossoides dubius is a commercially important fish in the coastal waters of Gangwon Province, which is its spawning ground and breeding habitat. A total of 1,669 gonads were sampled monthly from February 2011 to May 2013 to investigate ecological characteristics, such as variations in maturation and spawning by gonad index, visual maturity stage, histological observations and oocyte diameter. Males were numerically dominant over females in the fishing grounds year round. The spawning season was from January to April, and the peak was from February to March. Oocyte number as a measure of fecundity was between 27,372 and 915,209 eggs with a length range of 26.0-48.7 cm TL, while the largest oocyte grew to 0.9-1.4mm in egg diameter during its spawning season. The relationship between fecundity and total length was $F=0.0016TL^{5.2539}$. The smallest mature lengths of the females and males were 28.4 and 22.6 cm respectively, and the 50% mature lengths of females and males were 32.9, 26.9 cm respectively.

The condition factor (CF) were calculated by the morphometric data, and gonadal maturation and reproductive potential associated with fecundities of indoor cultured Hapalogenys nitens were investigated by microscopic and morphometric analysis from August 2011 to October 2012. Monthly changes in the GSI and CF were closely related to gonadal maturation and spawning. The ovary consisted of a pair of saccular structure with many ovarian lobules, the testis is a pair of lobular structure with many testicular lobules. The relationship between total fecundity (F) and total length (TL) of fish was expressed as $F=0.0449TL^{2.7926}$($r^2=0.0653$), and body weight (BW) was expressed as $F=1.4492BW^{0.8964}$($r^2=0.0863$). In this study, some exceptional special cases and phenomena were observed: absolute and relative fecundities were not increased with the increases of total length and body weight, respectively. Absolute and relative fecundities were no concerned with the increases of age classes of total length (cm) and of body weight (g).

돌돔 Oplegnathus fasciatus의 인위적인 성 성숙 및 산란 유도를 위한 연구에서, 3년생 돌돔 친어를 대상으로 수온 및 광주기 조절에 의한 생식소 발달을 조직학적으로 조사하였다. 수온 및 광주기 조절구 (Exp. I)는 1996년 12월부터 1997년 2월까지 수온은 $14.5^{\circ}C$에서 $21.0^{\circ}C$ 그리고 광주기는 10 : 30 L에서 15 : 30 L로 증가시킨 후 4월까지 계속 유지시켰다. 수온 조절구 (Exp. II)에서 수온은 Exp. I과 동일하게 조절하였고, 광주기는 3월 초순까지는 자연 광주기로 조절하였다가 이후 장일 광주기 (15 : 30L)로 재조절 하였다. 대조구는 1996년 12월부터 1997년 4월까지 해상 가두리의 자연 조건하에서 사육하였다. 생식소 활성은 1 월부터 Exp. I, II 모두에서 시작되었다. 그리고 성숙과 산란은 Exp. I에서는 수온과 광 주기가 각각 $21.0^{\circ}C$와 15 : 30L까지 도달한 2월부터 시작되었으나, Exp. II는 3월 초순까지도 부분적 성숙만 유도되다 장일 광주기 (15 : 30 L)로 조절한 후 3월 하순 부터는 성숙과 산란이 시작되었다.

Reproductive condition of the tropical blacklip pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera collected during the period July through September 2003 from Chuuk Lagoon, Federated State of Micronesia was investigated using histology. The level of gonad development for each pearl oyster was determined with an average score of five microscopic fields, and the average score was used as the maturity index (ML). All wild pearl oysters collected in July did exhibit fully ripe eggs in their ovaries ($45{\sim}50{\mu}M$ in diameter), indicating that they were ready for spawning. In mid August most wild pearl oysters were in spawning and M1 dropped dramatically from mid- to late September, suggesting that the wild pearl oyster completed spawning during this period. In contrast, the cultivated pearl oysters collected in mid-September held ripe eggs in the ovaries and only a few of them spawned, indicating that gonad maturation of the cultivated pearl oyster was somewhat slower than that of the wild pearl oyster in Chuuk Lagoon during the summer period. Histological analysis also indicated that spawning of the pearl oyster is rather incomplete and they may spawn continuously during summer.

Using biochemical methods, we determined the potential of local female shrimp populations as breeding stock to select the best adult prawns for improving larval production. As condition indexes, we selected total RNA, DNA, their ratio, and trypsin activity. The DNA content in the pleopods of each local population was similar, i.e., between $0.90{\pm}0.06\;and\;1.02{\pm}0.04(SE){\mu}g/mg$. In comparison, the RNA contents differed markedly between $2.00{\pm}0.09$ and $0.96{\pm}0.08\;{\mu}g/mg$. Therefore, the RNA/DNA (R/D) ratio in the pleopod could be used as a condition index because it represents a biochemical characteristic of the population. The mean pleopodal R/D ratio of the Goheung population was the highest at $2.52{\pm}0.19$, which indicated the best condition. Trypsin activity was influenced little by shrimp condition and more by the amount of food ingested. The gonadosomatic index (GSI) and R/D ratio in the gonads provided offsetting information about the instantaneous gonad maturity. The Goheung population had the highest instantaneous GSI, despite some spawning. Based on the condition indexes and time of gonad maturation, the Goheung shrimp population is suitable for use as breeding stock.
