BIOLOGICAL STUDIES ON THE FRESHWATER SHRIMPS OF KOREA 1. Relative Growth of Macrobrachium nipponensis (de Haan)

한국산 민물 새우류에 관한 생물학적 연구 1. 징거미의 상대 성장

The freshwater shrimp, Macrobrachium nipponensis is one of the largest species as well as one of the Important types of food. It can be found widely in rivers and swamps from Che-ju island in the south to Chung-ju in the north. The larval development of these shrimps was studied by Yu (1966) and CHUN and YU (1967), but they didn't provide any other features. Shrimps for the present study were collected from the Ntk-Dong River, near Pusan, once each month from March to December 1963. The following is a summary of the results. 1. The relationship between the carapace length (X) and the body length (Y) is: Y=2.68996X+1.14784 in female. Y=2.73121X+1.10827 in male. 2. The relationship between the carapace length(X)_ and tile basipodite length of the 2nd pereiopode (Y) is: Y=0.16910X-0.06422 in female Y=0.19410X-0.06075 in male. 3. The relationship between the carapace length (X) and the ischiorodite length of the 2nd pereiopode (Y) is: Y= 0.48524X-0.10812 in female. Y= 0.69052X-0.28616 in male. 4. The relationship between the carapace length(X) and the meropodite length of the End pereiopode (Y) is: Y=0.51217X-0.04088 in female. Y= 1.9792X-0.98258 in male. 5. The relationship between the carapace length (X) and the carpopodite length of the 2nd pereiopode (Y) is: Y=0.87701X-0.33919 in female. Y=2.00091X-1.64116 in male. 6. The relationship between the carapace length (X) and the propodite length of the 2nd pereiopode (Y) is: Y= 1.04672 X-0.50727 in female. Y=2.67663X-2.40488 in male. 7. The relationship between the carapace length (X) and the dactylopodite length of the 2nd pereiopode (Y) is: Y=0.26366 X+0.15743 in female. Y=1.04866 X-0.67781 in male.
