Abstract

Egg development and early life history of the endangered species, Microphysogobio rapidus was investigated to get a basic information for biological characteristics and recovery strategy. Eggs were obtained from females by injecting Ovaprim (0.5 mL/kg) and artificially fertilized by dry method in the laboratory. The mature eggs were slightly adhesive and separated with light bluish green and $0.63{\pm}0.02mm$ (n=20) in diameter. Number of eggs in the ovaries were $3,827{\pm}1,225$ (2,850 ~ 5,916). The hatching occurred at 72 hours after fertilization under water temperature of $21{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. The newly-hatched larvae were $2.79{\pm}0.04mm$ (n=10) in total length. At 5 days after hatching, they were average $4.10{\pm}0.07mm$ (n=10) in TL and their yolk sacs were completely absorbed. 30 days after hatching, they became to juvenile stage and reached $9.74{\pm}0.24mm$ (n=10) in TL. At 100 days after hatching, the band patterns and external form were similar to those of adults, average $27.00{\pm}1.94mm$ (n=10) in TL.

멸종위기어류 여울마자의 생물학적 특성 및 복원을 위한 기초자료를 확보하기 위해 2013년 남강에서 채집하여 난 발생과정과 초기생활사를 연구하였다. 성숙란은 암컷에 Ovaprim을 주사 (0.5 mL/kg)하여 얻었으며 건식법으로 인공 수정시켰다. 성숙란은 약한 점착성을 가지며 밝은 청록색을 띤 분리침 성란이었으며, 난경은 $0.63{\pm}0.02mm$ (n=20), 포란수 (n=5)는 평균 $3,827{\pm}1,225$ (2,850~5,916)개였다. 수온은 $21{\pm}1^{\circ}C$에서 72시간 뒤에 부화하였으며, 부화 직후 전기 자어 크기는 전장 $2.79{\pm}0.04mm$ (n=10)였다. 부화 후 5일에는 전장 $4.10{\pm}0.07mm$ (n=10)로 난황을 모두 흡수하여 후기자어로 이행하였고 부화 30일째에는 전장 $9.74{\pm}0.24mm$ (n=10)로 모든 지느러미의 기조가 정수가 되어 치어기로 이행하였다. 부화 후 100일 후에는 전장 $27.00{\pm}1.94mm$ (n=10)로 체측반문과 외부형태가 성어와 유사한 모습을 보였다.
