카라신과(Characidae)에 속하는 Hemigrammus ocellifer, Gymnocorymbus ternetzi 및 Hemigrammus caudovittatus 의 경우 동물극 쪽에 정자의 통로인 난문 (micropyle)이 있으며, 3종 모두 난문 주위에 난막의 융기선이 방사형으로 위치하여 공통적인 특징을 보이지만 난막의 단면구조는 종에 따라서 서로 다른 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 난문의 구조가 카라신과 어류의 공통적인 과의 특성인지는 아직 밝혀져 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구는 카라신과 어류에서 난문의 구조가 과의 공통적인 특징인지 아니면 종만이 가지는 종특성인지를 확인하고 계통분류학적 기초 자료를 얻기 위하여 Hyphessobrycon serpae의 수정란과 난막의 외부 및 내부형태를 광학현미경, 주사전자현미경 및 투과전자현미경을 이용하여 관찰하고자 하였다. Hyphessobrycon serpae의 수정란은 구형의 무색투명한 부착성 및 침성란으로 유적 (oil droplet)과 부속사는 관찰되지 않았다. 동물극 쪽에 수정을 위한 정자의 통로인 한 개의 난문 (micropyle)이 관찰되었고, 난문 주위에는 난막의 융기선이 방사형으로 배열하고 있었으며 난막의 융기선은 $13{\sim}15$개로 수정란마다 약간의 차이를 보였다. 난막의 표면은 산란상에 부착하는 기능을 수행하는 것으로 생각되는 망상형의 섬유상 구조물들이 분포하고 있었으며 이 망상구조물 내부에 pore canal이 산재하고 있었다. 수정란 난막의 두께는 $0.9{\sim}1.0{\mu}m$였으며 3층으로 구성되어 있었다. 외층은 부착기능을 하는 전자밀도가 가장 높은 섬유상층이었고, 중층은 표면에서 관찰되었던 pore canal들이 중층이 끊어진 형태로 완전히 관통되어 있었으며 내층은 전자밀도가 서로 다른 $6{\sim}7$층의 다층구조를 하고 있었다. 이상과 같이 Hyphessobrycon serpae의 수정란 난막의 미세구조적 특징은 이 종만이 가지는 독특한 형태학적 형질로서 종을 분류하는데 사용될 수 있으며 난문 주위에 난막의 융기선이 방사형으로 배열하고 있는 것은 카라신과 어류의 공통적인 과 (Family)의 특성으로 생각된다.

(1) 산란후 유정란의 RNA량은 계속 증가하여 제 5일에 최고 (제 1일의 약 2.1배)에 달하고 제 6일부터 약간 감소된다. 이와 같은 RNA 량의 변동은 잠란의 배자형성 및 발육과 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 생각된다. (2) 무정란의 RNA 량은 산란직후부터 유정란의 그것에 비하여 대단히 적고 (약 절반임) 제 4일까지 약간의 증가를 보이나 제 5일부터 감소한다. (3) 조사유정란은 방사선조사(3,000 r)후 제 2일까지는 RNA 량이 약간 증가하나 그 후부터는 별 변동이 없다. 즉 방사선 조사로 란 RNA 합성이 크게 억제됨을 알 수 있다.(4) 침산처리란은 침산처리 제 4일부터 RNA 량이 격증하여 부화 1일 전인 제 7일까지 계속된다. 비침산란은 해기간중 RNA 량의 변동이 거의없다. 조사침산처리란 (1,500 r)에 있어서는 조사후 제 3일까지는 비조사란과 달라 RNA 량이 감소되었다가 제 4일부터 격증하여 제 7일까지 계속된다.

Black plaice, Pleuronectes obscurus (Herzenstein), were collected and fertilized to observe egg development, temperature-related cleavage rates, and mitotic intervals (${\tau}_0$). Fertilized egg was demersal, adhesive, and did not contain oil globules. After 1.75 h, the blastodisc formed, and hatching took place 121 h after fertilization at $14^{\circ}C$. The hatched larvae were $3.5{\pm}0.16\;mm$ in total length. At higher temperatures, eggs developed faster and underwent further identical developmental processes. Additionally, ${\tau}_0$ and water temperature were strongly negatively correlated at all temperatures (Y=-2.6981X+98.767, $R^2$=0.9831, where Y is ${\tau}_0$, and X is temperature) for black plaice.

참붕어의 난자형성과정과 수정란 난막의 미세구조를 광학현미경과 전자현미경으로 관찰한 결과는 다음과 같다. 참붕어에서 난원세포의 세포질은 호염기성이었고 핵막 내에 많은 인들이 분포하고 있었다. 제1난모세포의 경우 난황포가 단지 난세포 가장자리에만 배열되어 있었고 난막의 형성은 관찰되지 않았다. 제2난모세포에서는 난막이 형성되었고 제1난모세포에 비해서 난황포가 점점 핵쪽으로 증식된 경향을 보였다. 발생이 진행됨에 따라서 호염기성 물질들은 점점 감소하는 경향을 보였고 후에 난막주위에만 국한적으로 분포하였으며, 난막의 두께와 난자의 크기는 점점 증가되었다. 또한 성숙란으로 발생이 진행되면서 난황포들은 난황괴로 변화되었다. 참붕어의 수정란은 타원형으로 부착성이었으며 동물극쪽에서 난문이 관찰되었다. 수정란의 난막은 모두 3층으로, 부착성인 외층, 전자밀도가 서로 다른 6층상구조를 가진 중층 및 전자밀도가 높은 내층으로 구성되어 있었으며 난막표면은 부착성 섬유상 구조물로 덮여 있었다. 이상과 같이 참붕어의 난자형성과정은 생식세포의 크기 증가, 난황의 형성과 축적 및 세포질의 호염기성물질 감소로 될 수 있으며 수정란 난막의 미세구조적 특징들은 경골어류의 계통분류학에서 분류형질도 이용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

We have launched an investigation for Embryonic Development, Larvae and Juvenile Morphology, of Buenos aires tetra in order to build basic data of Characidae and fish seeding production. We brought 50 couples of Characidae from Bizidduck aquarium in Yeosu-si, Jeollanamdo, from Korea on March of 2015. We put them in the tetragonal glass aquarium ($50{\times}50{\times}30cm$). Breeding water temperature was $27.5{\sim}28.5^{\circ}C$ (mean $28.0{\pm}0.05^{\circ}C$) and being maintained. The shape of fertilized egg was round shape, and it was adhesive demersal egg. The egg size was 0.63~0.91 mm (mean $0.74{\pm}0.07mm$, n=20). After getting fertilized egg, the developmental stage was gastrula stage, and embryo covered almost two-thirds of Yolk. Incubation was happened after 16 hours 13 minutes from gastrula stage, and the tail of juvenile came out first with tearing egg capsule. Immediately after the incubation, prelarvae had 3.78~3.88 mm length (mean $3.84{\pm}0.04mm$, n=5), and it had no mouth and anus yet. 34 days after hatching from the incubation, juvenile had 8.63~13.1 mm (mean $10.9{\pm}1.66mm$), and it had similar silver-colored body shape with its mother.

This study was investigated spawning behavior, structure of egg masses and egg development in Aplysia kurodai inhabiting the coastal waters of Jeju Island, Korea. The mating and courtship behavior of A. kurodai occurred in the form of unilateral copulating with chain formation. In chain copulation, only the first animal acted as a female; the second and succeeding animals acted as males (sperm donors) to the animals in front and as females to the animals behind. The fertilized eggs were packaged in capsules that are embedded in jelly to form a cylindrical string called an egg masses. The number of capsule per cm of the egg masses was 55 to 60 capsules and each capsule within the egg masses held 15 to 25 eggs. After spawning, the egg masses were bright yellow or orange in color. This egg masses color not changed until embryos developed into trochophore stage. Thereafter, as embryo developed from trochophore stage to veliger stage the egg masses color became brownish. The fertilized eggs were spherical, with a diameter of approximately $80{\pm}1{\mu}m$ at spawning. At 5 to 6 days after spawning, the embryo developed into trochophore stage and began to rotate within the egg capsule. In the trochophore stage, the precursor of the velum, called the prototroch or prevelum, developed. At 10 days after spawning, the prevelum is transformed into the velum, and the trochophore developed into veliger stage. Between 10 to 15 days after spawning, the veligers broke out of the egg capsule, and hatched as free-swimming larvae.

Effects on nonylphenol (NP) treatment on early development of fertilized eggs and survival of larvae in olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus were investigated. Fertilized eggs and hatched larvae were exposed to aqueous solutions of NP at nominal concentrations of 50, 100, 150 and 200 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L. In the control I and II (methanol-carrier control) groups, the hatchability of fertilized eggs were 90.7$\pm$7.02 and 90.0$\pm$5.29％ (P <0.05), respectively. However, treatments of NP concentrations at 50, 100, 150 and 200 ug/L were reduced to 78.7$\pm$4.16, 46.0$\pm$9.17, 48.0$\pm$3.46 and 33.3$\pm$11.02% (P<0.05), respectively. The time to hatching of fertilized eggs was delayed in high-dose NP treatment groups rather than control groups. Fertilized eggs of NP immersed group could not hatch normally, and also vertebra of the larvae observed as abnormal shape. Cumulative mortality of hatched larvae after 26hr NP treatment was 38.3, 78.3, 88.3 and 100% in NP 50, 100, 150 and 200 ug/L treatment groups, respectively. Whereas, control I and II were 11.7, 16.7% (P<0.05). Hatched larvae showed most death at the embryonic development stage with abnormalities. These results suggest that NP treatment in fertilized eggs and larvae was inhibited as normally development for fertilized egg and growing of larvae.

Large quantity of eggs fail to be fertilized and many of fertilized eggs are unable to hatch in the eel, Anguilla japonica. Larvae of eel absorb egg yolk up to 8 days after hatching but the majority of hatched larvae die before they reach the stage of first feeding in this species. Genes of key enzymes for yolk processing (cathepsin B, D, L and lipoprotein lipase - abbreviated as ctsb, ctsd, ctsl and lpl, respectively) could be associated with egg quality. In this study, we investigated differences in the expression of these genes between floating eggs and sinking eggs, and also the relationship between the gene expressions of the enzymes and fertilization rates in the fertilized eggs obtained from artificially matured female eels. Expressions of yolk processing enzyme genes did not show significant difference between floating and sinking egg groups. Expression of ctsb decreased when fertilization rate was high. Expression of ctsd, ctsl and lpl, however, did not show any significant differences. These results suggest that ctsb expression could be an indicator of egg quality, and that some proteins prone to be digested by ctsb could be very important in the process of fertilization and normal cleavage in this species. Further study should identify these critical proteins to improve our understanding on the quality of fish eggs.

This study simulated the egg vertical distribution of mackerel Scomber japonicus in Korean waters using general numerical models. All eggs were spawned naturally by raising broodfishes (May-June 2013), and the egg specific gravity was measured by a density-gradient column. CTD surveys provided environmental data (e.g., temperature and salinity) in May near Jeju Island, Korea. The egg specific gravity during the early stages ranged from 1.0203-1.0211. In general, the fertilized eggs showed a gradual decline in egg specific gravity until full development of the main organs, with a sudden increase just before hatching. Modeled egg vertical distributions were influenced more by wind speed than by egg buoyancy and vertical structure of the sea water. During calm and normal wind speeds, the eggs were distributed from the surface to 25-m depths. Under strong wind conditions (three times higher than the normal speed), the egg concentration on the surface decreased, and the egg distributional depth was deeper (~50 m).

The objective of this study was to determine the mitotic intervals (${\tau}_0$) of two consecutive cell divisions and synchronous embryonic cleavage in grass puffer, Takifugu niphobles at different water temperatures (18, 20, 22, and $24^{\circ}C$). The color of the fertilized egg was light yellowish. The egg type was demersal and unadhesive. Egg weight was $0.09{\pm}0.002mg$. The sizes of unfertilized eggs were smaller than fertilized eggs in major axis and minor axis at $20^{\circ}C$ (p<0.05). The size of the fertilized egg of $18^{\circ}C$ water temperature group at the blastodisc stage was the smallest (p<0.05), but no significant differences were observed in the other water temperatures group except $18^{\circ}C$ water temperature group (p>0.05). The first cleavage stages at 18, 20, 22, and $24^{\circ}C$ were at 75, 90, 105, and 120 mins, respectively. As water temperature was increased, embryonic development and formation time of the first cleavage furrow were accelerated. There were negative correlation between ${\tau}_0$ and water temperature for grass puffer (Y=-1.225X+70.05, $R^2=0.988$, n=10, where Y was ${\tau}_0$ and X was temperature). This study confirmed that successful hatching of grass puffer was related to water temperature. Chromosome manipulation will be helpful for this species using cleavage frequency and ${\tau}_0$.
