Abstract

The study has been conducted to understand gonadal development and the effects of $17^{\alpha}$-methyltestosterone on sex inversion of the red spotted grouper, Epinephelus akaara. Fish were collected from Deukyand bay in the southern coast of Korea in August, 1996 and then they had been cultivated at the indoor tank until August, 1997. Gonad somatic index (GSI) in the females of both treated and control group began to increase from February when water temperature was rainse again, and reached the maximum value in August, whereas it had decreased from September adn thereafter maintained relatively low value until January. Unlike females, GSI in the male or intersex of treated groups decreased after June. Hepatosomatic index (HSI) of the control group tended to show the relatively low around Autumn, whereas it showed relatively highr value in April and June when the ovary was in the growing stage. Although the treated groups showed relatively higher value of the HSI than the control, hte paterns in monthly variation of HSI were similar to the control. Sexual change of the female grouper to the male was attempted by acceleration with oral administration of $17^{\alpha}$-methyltestosterone at the dose of 0.2 and 0.5mg/kg fish for 120days. Transitional hermaphroditic gonads were observed from the various size of groupers ranging 21.0 to 36.1 cm in total length, while the functional males could be induced from th individuals of 28.8 to 33.5cm in total length. This result indicated that larger groupers than 30cm in total length should be used for sex inversion to maleness with $17^{\alpha}$-methyltestosterone.

이 연구는 붉바리의 생시고 발달과정과 $17^{\alpha}$-methyltestosterone 처리에 의한 웅성화 및 생식소내 생식세포의 변화 과정을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 사육 수조 내에서 붉바리의 생식소 숙도지수와 간 숙도지수의 년중 변화는 붉바리 암컷의 경우 실험구와 대조구에서 생식소 숙도지수는 2월부터 증가하기 시작하여 8월에 가장 높았으며 9월부터 감소하기 시작하여 1월까지 상대적으로 매우 낮은 수치를 나타내었다. 그리고, 수컷과 간성(intersex)의 경우 생식소 숙도 지수는 6월 이수에 감소하였다. 한편 대조구의 붉바리 간숙도 지수는 9월에 가장 낮았으며 난소의 성장기인 4월에서 5월경에 상대적으로 높은 값을 보였으나 실험구에 비해서 상대적으로 훨씬 낮은 값을 보였다. 그러나, 실험 기간 동안 비록 실험구의 간숙도 지수가 대조구보다 높았지만 월변화 추이는 대조구와 비슷한 경향을 나타내었다, 성변환(sex inversion)을 유도하기 위하여 ($17^{\alpha}$)-methyltestosterone (MT)을 어체중 kg당 0.2 mg과 0.5 mg을 120일 동안 경구 투여한 결과 기능적 웅성화 유도를 위해서는 MT 0.5 mg/kg-BW 농도가 MT 0.2 mg/kg-BW 농도보다 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 기능적 수컷의 변환율을 알기 위한 MT 0.5 mg/kg-BW 농도의 처리수에서 기능적 수컷은 전장 28.8 cm와 33.5 cm사이의 개체들에서 관찰할 수 있어서 $17^{\alpha}$-methyltestosterone을 사용한 수컷 유도는 전장 30 cm 이상의 개체들 대상으로 하는 것이 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.
