This work concerns ecological studies on the larvae of the ark shell, Anadara broughtonii(SCHRENCK), in the aea adjacent to Gajyo-do in Jinhae Bay. Marine environmental factors, namely, temperatue, salinity, depth, and tidal current were observed in connection with the larval distributions. Water temperature appeared to be one of the main factors that influence the spawning activity. The numbers of the drifting larvae fluctuated greatly during the study period. The trend, however, was for numbers to be low in early summern, increasing in mid summer, and reaching a peak in late summer, at high bottom water temperature and low bottom salinities. Significantly increased numbers of the drifting larvae were observed during the period in which the bottom water temperatures and salinities were very close to those at the surface. the numbers of the drifting larvae showed a positive relationship with velocities of the water mass within the range of 0∼20 cm/sec. It was also noticed that the drifting larvae were relatively abundant in the area of eddy motion.

The standing crop of the ark-shell, Anadara broughtonii was investigated in the fishing ground near Seodang-Ri, Hoecheon-Myeon, Boseong Gun, Chulla-Nam Do, from the 10 to 17, January 1974, as a preliminary study for the resource investigation of the species. 1. The resources of the ark-shell was estimated to be about 3.4-8.3 M/T, the individual number being about 11,000-37,000 in the area, 113 ha covered for the investigation. 2. Of the landed ark-shell by fishing, $93\%$ of them were over 3 years old.

Short-term acute toxicity of mercury, cadmium and copper to arkshell, Anadara broughtonii, and to oyster, Crassostrea gigas, was determinedby static bioassays from 20 May to 27 June in 1977. During the observations of the opening rate of the shell mercury was the most sensitive toxicant of the three toxic substances to the test animals and caused them to close their shellvalves together after being exposed to a mercury solution for an hour during the test. Opening rate to cadmium and copper increased gradually at the higher concentration. the 96hr-LC50 values for the test animals are 4.84mg/l for mercury and 1.86mg/l for cadmium, while the 72hr-LC50 value for copper is 0.31mg/l. the death rate of oysters for cadmium showed lower than that of the mercury and copper test solutions. The 96hr-LC50 values of mercury, copper and cadmium were 1.1mg/l, 2.54mg/l and 19.5mg/l, respectively. For oysters mercury was the most toxic substance, and cadmium was the least toxic one. the medium lethal time (LT 50) value decreased gradually at higher concentration of heavy metals. The LT 50 of 2mg/l was found within 96 hours ofr copper, 104 hours for mercury and 121 hours for cadmium. The lethal threshold concentrations for 7 days were found to be about 1mg/l for mercury and copper, and 2mg/l for cadmium.

The growth of ark shell, Anadara broughtonii was compared between two areas, $Gad\v{o}gdo$ in Jinhae Bay and Namhae located in the southern coast of Korea from May 1986 to October 1987. The ark shells in Namhae grew from 1.38$\pm$0.32 em to 7.20$\pm$0.30 em in shell length, while those in $Gad\v{o}gdo$ grew from 1.38$\pm$0.32 em to 6,41$\pm$0.30 cm in 17 months. Shell height, shell breadth and total weigth of the ark shells in Namhae were also greater than those from $Gad\v{o}gdo$. Bottom quality of $Gad\v{o}gdo$ showed negative skewness, and that of Namhae was positive skewness. Negative skewness of $Gad\v{o}gdo$ seems to be caused by the effect of strong tidal current. This may indicate that Namhae is better area than $Gad\v{o}gdo$ for the culture of the ark shell.

A culture experiment of the ark shell, Anadara broughtonii, one of the edible clams, was carried out in Yoja Bay located at the south ern coast of Korea to find the state of growth and any problems which influence them. Seed shells at an average length of 2.5cm and a weight of 2.5g were planted on bottom mud with a density 20 to 40 shells per square meter on March 10 and 11, 1982. Shell length, shell height, shell breadth, meat weight (wet weight), and total weight for six months from August 1982 to February 1983 were measured to find their state of growth. At the same time, the survival rate was investigated during the whole culture period through December 1983 when they were harvested. Growth, on the whole, was fast when water temperature was high. For a year, an average shell length and total weight attained to 6.1 cm and 63.0g respectively and meat weight was gained to 19.5g. It showed that the state of growth was favourable. Shell shape became round from the oval ana meat weight increase was faster than shell growth as time goes by regardless of water temperature while both shells and total weight increased faster during high temperature. A month after seed shells were planted, about $30\%$ of them was dead and a high mortality, say $5\%\;to\;8\%$ per month, was kept till September. It dropped to around $2\%$ aften divers eliminated starfish, Asterias spp., in August. Thereafter, the rate maintained through December. In all, the final survival rate was about $10\%$ at the time of harvest in December 1983. It was caused mainly by starfish predation. Therefore, a best way for satisifactory culture is seemed to find a way to get rid of the starfish.

The present study was designed to analyze the lipid and fatty acid compositions of ark shell, Anadara broughtonii. The crude lipid was extracted by Bligh and Dyer's method, and then fractionated by TLC and quantitatively analyzed by TLC scanner. Lipid extracted from ark shell was fractionated into neutral and polar lipid by column chromatography with silicic acid. The fatty acid composition of lipid fractions were determined by gas liquid chromatography. Total lipid content of ark shell was 0.83% base on wet weight. The content of unsaponifiable matter was 20.19%, and iodine value was 156.13. The main components of total lipids were triglyceride, diglyceride, hydrocarbon, and sterol ester. The fatty acid composition of total lipid chiefly consisted of $C_{17 : 0}$, $C_{16 : 0}$, $C_{18 : 1}$ and $CT_{16 : 1}$. The main fatty acids of neutral lipid were $C_{16 : 0}$, $C_{18 : 1}$, $C_{22 : 1}$, $C_{18 : 0}$ and $C_{16 : 1}$. The major fatty acids of polar lipid were $C_{16 : 0}$, $C_{18 : 2}$, $C_{20 : 5}$ and $C_{22 : 6}$. In total lipid fractionation, saturated acid contents were high in all (SA>MA＞ PA), in neutral lipid fractionation, menoenoic acid contents were high in all (MA > SA> PA), and in polar lipid fractionation, saturated acid con-tents were high in all (SA> PA> MA).

In order to set up a predictive model for an effective spat collection of ark shells, Anadara broughtonii, the survival rate and the time required for each developmental stage of planktonic larvae were investigated during the period from July 1 to October 30 in 1974, in one of the main ark shell seed collection areas, Chinhae Bay, in the southern part of Korea. The advent of D-shaped larvae ca. $94.3{\times}72.7{\mu}m$ long had three peaks during the surveyed period: August 25, August 31 and September 9, umbo-shaped larvae ca. $141.6{\times}108.4{\mu}m$ and full grown larvae ca. $269.3{\times}221.7{\mu}m$ long also showed three peaks: September 6, September 12 and September 20 for the former, and September 20, September 25 and October 5 for the latter, respectively. About 11 to 12 days was required for D-shaped larvae to develop to umbo-shaped stage. At this intermorphological stage, the daily survival rate was 0.93 with a total survival rate of 45% for the stage. The time required for umbo-shaped larvae to develop to full grown larvae varied from 13 to 15 days with a daily survival rate of 0.93 and with a total survival rate of 36% in the period. Twenty-five to twenty-six days were required for each peak group of the D-shaped larvae to reach a full grown stage, and their total survival rate was 16% during this developmental stage.
