Abstract

Comparative study of retinal structure in two Korean endemic freshwater fishes, Zacco koreanus and Pseudobagrus koreanus, was carried out by light and scanning electron microscopy. In the visual cell layer comprised of cone cells and rod cells, the cone cells showed a distinct difference between both species. Z. koreanus had two types of cone cells, single cone cells including a long single and short single cone cells, and double cone cells, whereas P. koreanus had only one type of single cone cells having no its short single and long single cones. Meanwhile, the cone cells of Z. koreanus were arranged in more compact-rowed pattern, but it was more loose and irregular in P. koreanus. Based on field observation, Z. koreanus is mainly a epipelagic or sometimes benthopelagic and a diurnal fish with a round and large eye, while P. koreanus is a demersal and nocturnal fish with an oval and small eye. Therefore, the difference in the retinal structure of two species seems to be closely related to their ecological habitats.

한국산 고유 담수 어종인 참갈겨니와 눈동자개의 안구 외부형태와 망막구조를 광학현미경과 전자현미경으로 비교 조사하였다. 참갈겨니는 안구의 크기뿐만 아니라 수평안경/체장, 수평안경/두장의 비율이 모두 눈동자개보다 크게 나타났고 다만, 수정체직경/수평안경은 눈동자개가 더 크게 나타났다. 망막의 시각세포층에서 참갈겨니는 크게 단일원뿔세포와 이중원뿔세포, 두 종류의 원뿔세포를 가지며 단일원뿔세포는 긴단일원뿔세포와 짧은단일원뿔세포로 나뉜다. 반면 눈동자개는 긴단일원뿔세포와 짧은단일원뿔세포로 구분할 수 없는 단지 단일원뿔세포로만 구성되어 있었다. 또한 원뿔세포의 배열구조에 있어서도 참갈겨니는 보다 치밀한 열구조로 배열되어 있는 반면 눈동자개는 성긴 불규칙한 구조로 배열되어 있었다. 이상과 같이 참갈겨니와 눈동자개의 안구 및 망막의 구조적 차이는 2종 간의 생태학적 특성과 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 생각된다.
