Abstract

In order to gain fundamental information on the utilization of lipids as energy source in mud-skipper, muscle lipids and their fatty acid composition were investigated with respect to life cycle-maturation (Aug), before-hibernation (Nov), and after-hibernation (Apr). Crude and neutral lipid were found to decrease from 1.2, 68.3% (Aug) via 0.7, 53.8% (Nov) to 0.4, 42.6% (Apr), respectively, whilst phospholipids and glycolipids increased from 29.5 and 2.2% (Aug) to 52.1 and 5.3% (Apr), respectively. In neutral lipids, TG contents gradually decreased from 53.8% (Aug) via 33.6% (Nov) to 23.1% (Apr), while FFA and sterol contents increased from 13.5 and 14.2% (Aug) to 22.3 and 24.5% (Apr), respectively. In phospholipids, PC content decreased from 61.2% (Aug) to 50.6% (Apr), while changes in PS and PE contents, as a whole, showed the opposite trends. In neutral lipids, the levels of some fatty acids such as 16:0, 16:1, 18:0, 18:1 and 20:5 $({\omega}3)$ were analyzed to be high, with the 20 : 5 being predominant, and the levels of saturated and monoene-acids gradually decreased, while polyene-acids increased in before and after hibernation. In before hibernation, 16:0, 16:1, 18:1 mainly decreased but 18:2, 18:3 $({\omega}3)$ and most of saturated and monoene acids such as 14:0, 14:1, 16:1, 18:0, 18:1 slightly decreased in after hibernation. From these findings, it was suggested that those fatty acids decreased during hibernation were used as a energy source, particularly 16:1 and 18:1 being most preferentially used. In phospholipids, the levels of 16:0, 18:0, 20:5 $({\omega}3)$, 22:5 $({\omega}3)$ and 22:6 $({\omega}3)$ were found to be high. Throughout the life cycle, the levels of monoene-acids in phospholipids stayed constant, whilst those of 18:2, 18:3 $({\omega}3)$ and saturated acids such as 16:0, 18:0 were found to be decreased gradually in before and after hibernation, whereas those for the high degree of polyene-acids such as 20:4 $({\omega}6)$, 20:5 $({\omega}3)$, 22:5 $({\omega}3)$, 22:6 $({\omega}3)$ increased, particularly 20:4 $({\omega}6)$, 20:5 $({\omega}3)$ being most increased.

동면시 짱뚱어의 에너지 대사에 관한 정보를 얻고자 근육 중 지방질과 지방산조성을 성숙기(8월), 동면직전(11월), 동면직후(4월)로 나누어 분석 검토하였다. 조지방과 중성지질 조성은 각각 8월 1.2, 68.3%에서 11월 0.7, 53.8%, 4월 0.4, 42.6%로 점차 줄었고, 인지질과 당지질은 8월 29.5, 2.2%에서 4월 52.1%, 5.3%로 각각 증가 하였다. 중성지질 중 TG함량은 8월 53.8%에서 11월 33.6, 4월 23.1%로 점차 줄었으나, FFA와 sterol류는 반대로 8월 13.5, 14.2%에서 4월 22.3, 24.5%로 각각 증가하였다. 인지질에서는 PC함량이 8월 61.2%였으나 4월 50.6%로 줄었고 PS와 PE는 이와 대체로 반대 경향이었다. 중성지질에서는 16 : 0, 16 : 1, 18 : 0, 18 : 1, 20 : 5$({\omega}3)$이 많았고 특히 $20:5({\omega}3)$가 많은 점이 특징적이었으며 월동전 후는 포화산과 monoene산 조성이 줄고 대신 polyene산 조성이 높아지는 경향이었다. 11월은 주로 16 : 0, 16 : 1, 18:1 등 일부가 줄었으나 4월은 16 : 0, 20 : 1, 22 : 1를 제외한 14 : 0, 14 : 1, 16 : 1, 18 : 0, 18:1 등 대부분의 포화 및 monoene산과 18 : 2, 18 : 3$({\omega}3)$이 균일하게 줄어 동면시 이들이 에너지원이 되고 특히 전기간에 걸쳐서는 16 : 1과 18 : 1의 이용이 용이했을 것으로 판단되었다. 인지질에서는 16 : 0, 18 : 0, 20 : 5$({\omega}3)$, 22 : 5$({\omega}3)$, 22 : 6$({\omega}3)$이 많았고 monoene산 조성비는 거의 일정하였으나 월동전 후는 16 : 0, 18 : 0을 주로 한 포화산과 18 : 2, 18 : 3$({\omega}3)$이 줄었고 대신 20 : 4$({\omega}6)$, 20 : 5$({\omega}3)$, 22.5$({\omega}3)$, 22 : 6$({\omega}3)$ 등고도 polyene산 조성이 높아져 불포화도가 증가하였으며, 특히 20 : 4$({\omega}6)$와 20 : 5$({\omega}3)$의 상승폭이 컸다.
