Abstract

The effects of oral administration of estradiol-$17{\beta}$ (E2) on glass eels (Body weight: $0.16{\pm}0.05g$, Total length: $6.2{\pm}0.9cm$) and young eels (Body weight: $2.6{\pm}0.6g$, Total length: $13.2{\pm}0.6cm$) on gonadal sex and growth were examined, respectively. Glass eels were fed a diet containing E2 at a dose of 10 mg/kg or 25 mg/kg, respectively, for five months. The female ratio significantly increased in all E2-treated groups (10 mg/kg diet group: 70%; 25 mg/kg diet group: 90%) when compared to the control group (10%). Young eels were fed a diet containing E2 at a dose of 25 mg/kg for four months. The female ratio also significantly increased in the E2-treated groups (60%) compared to the control group (20%). The highest female ratio was observed in the stage of glass eels rather than young eels. In all experiments, however, the growth of eels treated with E2 was similar to that of controls to the end of the experiment. Thus, oral administration of E2 could be a good approach to controlling sex differentiation.

산란유도용 암컷 친어 뱀장어를 확보하기 위한 목적으로 estradiol-$17{\beta}$ (E2)의 적정 투여 시기 및 농도를 조사하였다. 실뱀장어 단계(평균 체중 0.16 g, 평균 전장 6.2 cm)에 있어서 E2함유 배합사료를 5개월간 경구투여에 따른 자성화 유도율을 조사한 결과 대조구(10%)에 비해 E2를 경구투여한 실험구인 저농도 E2 투여구(10 mg/kg diet)에서는 70%, 고농도 E2 투여구(25 mg/kg diet)에서는 90%로 높게 나타났다. 또한 어린 뱀장어 단계(치만 단계; 평균 체중 2.6 g, 평균 전장 13.2 cm)에 있어서도 E2함유 배합사료를 4 개월간 경구투여에 따른 자성화 유도율은 대조구(20%)에 비해 E2 투여 실험구(25 mg/kg diet)에서는 60%로 높게 나타났다. 한편 E2 농도에 따른 자성화 유도율의 두드러진 차이는 없었지만, E2 경구투여 시기에 따른 자성화 유도율은 치만단계 보다 실뱀장어 단계에서 높게 나타났다. 그러나 대조구와 E2 경구투여구에 있어서 성장률의 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 따라서 본 연구에 의해 극동산 뱀장어 치어기에 E2 경구투여로 성제어가 가능하였으며, 자성화 유도율은 E2 농도 보다 투여 시기에 의존하는 것으로 추측되었다.
