Reproductive ecology of the snow crab Chionoecetes opilio was investigated in terms of the reproductive organs, abdominal flap, fecundity, and maturity. Specimens were collected with gill nets and trawls from June 2002 to May 2003 in the eastern waters of Korea. The female and male C. opilio are distinguished only by the shape of the abdominal flap, which is triangular in males and circular in females. The gonads of female and male crabs are generally X-shaped. The male gonad is white, while the female gonad appears milk-white after spawning and then turns from light orange to dark orange with maturation. The female gonads matured from June, and mature and immature groups could be distinguished from December to February or March. Brooding eggs changed from bright orange to dark brown with formation of the compound eye immediately before hatching. Accordingly, the main spawning season is February and March. The minimum maturity carapace width of female crabs was 61.1 mm, and the mean fecundity is about 108,300 eggs.

전 지구적으로 개체수가 감소하고 있는 양서류는 멸종 위기에 직면하고 있다. 서식지 파괴와 질병, 기후변화 및 환경오염으로부터 위험에 처한 양서류의 생물다양성과 지속 가능한 관리를 위해, 각 국에서는 생태정보 파악 및 번식 생태학에 대한 활발한 연구를 진행하고 있다. 정자 동결보존은 양서류의 유전자 다양성 유지를 돕는 중요한 보조 생식 기술로 알려져 있으며, 여러 연구를 통해 기술 개발의 상당한 진전이 보고되었다. 그러나, 크기가 큰 양서류 정자 세포의 경우 삼투압 스트레스에 대한 높은 민감도로 인해, 종마다 최적의 동결보호제와 냉각 및 해동 속도가 다르다는 한계가 있다. 또한, 동결보호제의 농도에 따른 독성 유발과 동결보존 후 해동된 정자 세포의 수정 성공률 및 자손의 생존율의 장기적인 영향을 평가하는데 어려움이 있다. 본 문헌 고찰은 양서류 보존에 있어서 동결보존 기술 개발 중요성의 개요를 제공하며, 기존 동결 보존제의 한계점에 대한 최적 보존제의 조합 탐색의 필요성을 강조한다. 해동 후 수정과 번식 성공뿐만 아니라, 자손의 생존 및 생식 성공까지 장기적인 모니터링 평가 도입을 통해 양서류 보전 방법에 대한 기초 연구 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

The fiddler crab, Uca lactea, which lives on intertidal mudflats in Korea, exhibits both burrow mating and surface mating. We observed 17 cases of surface mating that occurred on Ganghwa Island, South Korea. Most surface-mating males did not build semidomes, structures that attract searching females for burrow mating. Based on the conclusion of a previous study that semidome building is condition-dependent, we suggest that food availability may influence the mating tactic of this species. In addition, there was a strong correlation between the carapace size of both sexes that surface-mated, which suggests that males use body size of females as a mating cue.

월악산 국립공원에서 2009년 1월부터 2013년 12월까지 5년간 낙엽생산량과 낙엽을 통해 임상으로 이입되는 영양염류량을 조사하였다. 잎, 가지, 생식기관, 기타로 분류된 낙엽의 5년간 평균 생산량은 각각 $1.940{\pm}0.21$, $0.505{\pm}0.15$, $0.259{\pm}0.09$, and $0.737{\pm}0.14t\;ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$ 이었으며 낙엽구성원의 비율은 각각 56.4, 14.7, 7.5, 21.4%, 로 잎의 비율이 가장 높았다. 조사기간 동안 생산된 낙엽의 총량은 2009년부터 2013년까지 각각 2.810, 3.796, 3.268, 3.284, $4.045ton\;ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$ 으로, 5년간 평균 $3.441{\pm}0.4ton\;ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$의 낙엽이 생산되었다. 조사기간 동안 조사된 낙엽을 통해 입상에 이입되는 질소, 인, 칼륨, 칼슘, 마그네슘의 평균 이입량은 각각 $22.73{\pm}4.92$, $1.05{\pm}0.42$, $4.26{\pm}1.69$, $8.48{\pm}4.62$, $2.42{\pm}1.01kg\;ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$ 이었다.

Ecological success of introduced species is frequently attributed to the reproductive characters of those species. We examined the relationship between both flowering season and plant size and reproductive characters in two introduced species of Taraxacum, e.g., T. officinale and T.laevigatum. Seventy six plants of T. officinale and 23 plants of T. laevigatum were randomly tagged from a population at the sungshin Women's University in April of 1997. The size and number of vegetative characters such as rosette diameter, leaf number, and the largest leaf length and width were measured for each plant at the onset of flowering. The infructescence was collected continually from each plant before seed dispersal from April to August of 1997. The number of infructescence per plant, and seed number and total seed weight per infructescence were measured. Mean individual seed weight per infructescence was also obtained. T. officinale possessed larger sized, but smaller number of, leaves than T. laevigatum, thereby resulting in no significant difference in total leaf area. There was a trend that vegetatively larger plants in both of these species produced reproductive characters larger in size or greater in number, except for seed number and total seed weight per infructescence in T. laevigatum. All reproductive characters examined in T. officinale decreased toward the end of flowering season. In T. laevigatum, infructescence number per plant also declined during a flowering season: however, mean seed number per infructescence increaed toward the end of flowering season with no significant seasonal change in the total seed weight per infructescence. T. officinale produced on average about twice as many seeds per plant as T. laevigatum during a growing season. These two Taraxacum species produced quite small seeds in size compared to the endemic species, exhibiting a far better dispersal ability of introduced species. These data demonstrate that most reproductive characters decline in size and number in both species during a long flowering period, but the two species appear to employ different strategies to achieve reproductive success in disturbed habitats.

Maturation and spawning of the Blackthroat seaperch, Doderleinia berycoides were investigated based on the samples captured in Korean waters from January 2008 to December 2009. Gonadosomatic index began to increase in June, and reached maximum between July to September. After spawning it began to decrease from October. Reproductive season was estimated to July-September, with peak in August. Fecundity was proportional to the size of the female, with the clutch size varying from 115,500 eggs in the smallest female (TL〓28.2cm) to 652,000 eggs in the largest (TL〓33.5cm). Size at 50% sexual maturity ($TL_{50}$), determined from mature females, was 29.6cm. Annual reproductive cycles of this species could be divided into six successive stages; immature stage (October-May), nucleolus stage (June-July), yolk vesicle stage (July-August), vitellogenic stage (June-September), ripe and spent stage (August-October).

Reproductive ecology of rabbit fish, Siganus fuscescens were investigated from samples collected monthly in the coastal waters off Jeju Island of Korea from February to December 2014. In male and female of S. fuscescens, the values of GSI were reached high values between July to August in which the water temperature was high, and then decreased until December. The occurrence of individuals which have mature eggs in ovary were higher from July to August. Therefore, a main spawning season was estimated from July to August, with the highest peak in July. Throughout histological observation of the ovary in the spawning period, S. fuscescens belong to an group-synchronous and has a one spawning season a year. Fecundity of ovary ranged from 380,000 to 2,600,000 during the spawning period. Size at 50% sexual maturity, determined from logistic equation, were 25.1 cm TL which is over two years.

멸종위기종 꾸구리의 번식생태를 밝히기 위하여 2010년 3월부터 2011년 2월까지 한강 지류인 섬강에서 연구를 진행하였다. 비산란기의 암컷과 수컷은 형태적으로 차이가 없었으나 산란기에는 체장에 대한 체고와 체폭, 배지느러미 기점거리, 뒷지느러미 기점거리 등에서 차이를 보여 구별되었다. 성비(female; : male)는 1 : 1.01이었고, 산란기는 수온 $15{\sim}25^{\circ}C$인 4월말부터 6월 중순으로 추정되었다. 포란수는 평균 $2,134{\pm}930$개였으며, 성숙난의 크기는 $0.88{\pm}0.04mm$였다. 산란장소는 느린 여울부인 유속 13~24 cm $sec^{-1}$, 수심 12~18 cm의 3~10 cm의 자갈과 돌이 깔려있는 곳으로 추정되었다. 실험실 수조에서 Ovaprim을 주사하여 산란행동을 유도한 결과, 14~15시간 후에 암컷과 수컷이 수면 근처에서 1 : 1로 산란하였다.
