고등어(Scomber japonicus)의 난발생 및 자치어 형태발달

Egg Development and Morphology of Larva and Juvenile of the Chub Mackerel, Scomber japonicus

고등어를 습식법으로 인공 수정한 난을 대상으로 난발생 및 자치어 발육과정을 관찰하였다. 수정란의 형태는 구형의 분리부성란으로 유구는 1개를 가지고 있었으며, 난경은 $0.94{\sim}1.02\;mm$(평균 $0.95{\pm}0.03\;mm$)였다. 부화에 소요된 시간은 수온 $20{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$에서 51시간이 소요되었다. 부화 직후 자어의 전장은 $2.52{\sim}3.0\;mm$(평균 $2.75{\pm}0.04\;mm$)로 난황을 달고 있었고, 입과 항문은 아직 열려 있지 않았으며, 근절은 $28{\sim}31$개였고, 눈에는 흑색소포 소포가 착색되어 있었다. 부화 후 2일째의 전기 자어는 $3.12{\sim}3.63\;mm$(평균 $3.39{\pm}0.05\;mm$)로 난황이 완전히 흡수되었다. 부화 18일째 후기 자어는 전장이 $8.45{\sim}12.32\;mm$(평균 $10.85{\pm}4.36\;mm$)로 꼬리말단이 굽어지기 시작하면서 가슴지느러미, 등지느러미, 꼬리지느러미의 줄기가 형성되었다. 부화 25일째에는 $44.12{\sim}58.72\;mm$(평균 $55.95{\pm}6.74\;mm$) 외부 형태가 성어와 같은 치어기에 도달하였다.

In order to monitor the developmental features of embryos, larvae, and juveniles of chub mackerel, Scomber japonicus, the fertilized eggs were obtained by artificial insemination. The fertilized eggs were spherical in shape and floated separately. Their membrane and yolk having 1 oil globule were transparent. The transparent eggs, having one oil drop in the yolk, were $0.94{\sim}1.02\;mm$ (mean, $0.95{\pm}0.03\;mm$) in diameter. The fertilized eggs started hatching at 51 hrs after fertilization in $20{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$ water. The total length of the hatched larvae was $2.52{\sim}3.0\;mm$ (mean, $2.75{\pm}0.04\;mm$). At hatching, the larva, with the mouth and anus not opened yet, had yolk sack, $28{\sim}31$ myomeres and eyes with melanophore. Yolk completely 2 days after hatching and the total length of post-larvae $3.12{\sim}3.63\;mm$ (mean, $3.39{\pm}0.05\;mm$). At the 18 days after hatching, the tip of tail became curved at the end and the stems for pectoral, dorsal, and caudal fins appeared. Juveniles, having all firm rays, was $44.12{\sim}58.72\;mm$ (mean $55.95{\pm}6.74\;mm$) in TL 25 days after hatching.
