Abstract

Oocyte surface in two Korean minnows, Rhynchocypris oxycephalus and R. kumgangensis was examined by light and electron microscope. In two species, the development of the oocyte was similar, but the follicular layer surrounding full-grown oocyte showed an evident difference. In R. oxycephalus, the follicular layer at the yolk vesicle stage became bilaminar with the retention of its outer squamous cell layer and the acquisition of an inner cuboidal or round cell layer just over the zona radiata. As the oocyte grows, the cuboidal cells of the inner follicular layer began to be replaced by columnar cells. At the yolk granule stage, the columnar cells secreted mucin to their cytoplasm (adhesive materials) and then surround the entire oocyte, as bundles of fence-shaped structures. Whereas, although the follicular layer of R. kumgangensis had an outer squamous layer and an inner cuboidal or round cell layer at the yolk vesicles as in R. oxycephalus, no inner cells were more changed with the retention of its cuboidal or round cells. Finally, in R. kumgangensis, the adhesive materials did not occur. In Korean two minnows, the structural difference in the oocyte surface seems to be related to their habitats and spawning characteristics as well as taxonomic characters.

한국산 버들치속 (Rhynchocypris) 어류인 버들치 (Rhynchocypris oxycephalus)와 금강모치 (Rhynchocypris kumgangensis) 난모세포의 난막구조에 대해 광학현미경과 전자현미경으로 조사하였다. 두 종에 있어서 난형성과정은 비슷했으나 난모세포를 둘러싸는 여포세포층(follicular layer)에 있어서는 차이를 보였다. 버들치는 난황포(yolk vesicle)시기에 있어 여포세포층은 안쪽에 입방형 또는 둥근모양의 세포층(inner follicular layer)이 난막위에 형성되고 그 바깥쪽으로 편평세포층(outer follicular layer)의 2층으로 이루어져 있었다. 난모세포의 발생이 진행됨에 따라 inner follicular layer의 입방형세포는 원주형세포(columnar cell)로 바뀌게 된다. 난황구(yolk granule)시기에 원주형세포는 세포질에 부착물질인 mucin을 분비해서 난세포 전체를 둘러싸게 된다. 반면에 금강모치의 경우 버들치와 마찬가지로 난황포시기에 안층의 입방형 또는 둥근모양의 세포층과 바깥층의 편평세포층을 가지게 되지만 안층의 세포는 더 이상 변화를 보이지 않았으며, 부착물질 또한 형성되지 않았다. 이처럼 한국산 버들치속에 있어 난막의 구조적 차이는 두 종간에 뚜렷한 분류형질로도 이용될 수 있을 뿐 아니라 그들의 서식처 및 산란습성과도 연관이 있는 것으로 생각된다.
