Larvae of Palaemon serrifer were reared in the laboratory under three different temperature regimes ($15^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$) to study the effects of rearing temperature on larval survival and growth, as well as other traits such as embryo volume, number of embryos (fecundity), incubation period, development. Mode and development period. Growth pattern was analyzed by measuring the molt increment and intermolt period. The intermolt period consistently increased with size and instar number and was shortest at $25^{\circ}C$. However, molt increments generally decreased with instar number. Number of embryos varied from 552 to 1355. The relationship between the number of embryos and carapace length was expressed by the equation (fecundity) y=2.7744x+0.208 ($R^2$=0.7961). Egg volume was a primary factor affecting other life-history traits. Egg volume was $0.078\;m^3$, which is relatively small thus embryos exhibited a relatively short incubation period and a comparatively short development period, and the nutritional mode was planktotrophic. Brood production was followed by a fast parturitional pattern. Most ovigerous females had mature ovaries when the parturial molt occurred soon after eclosion.

The zoea1 stages of Philyra kanekoi Sakai, 1934 were obtained by laboratory rearing. Three zoeal stages were described and illustrated in detail. Zoeal morphology was compared with those of other described species of the family Leucosiidae. Morphological comparisons with congeneric species revealed that zoeas of P. kanekoi were more similar to those of P. pisum and P. platychira than to other Philyra. The present material could be distinguished from other Philyrinae species by having no dorsal carapace spine, a spinous tip of the antenna, and no chromatophore on the base of a dorsal carapace spine. Within the family Leucosiidae, the zoeas of three Philyra (P. kanekoi, P. pisum and P. platychira) showed the greatest affinities with Leucosia sima and L. pubescens (Leucosiinae), and the number of setae on the basipod of the first maxilliped could be very useful characterisitcs for indentification between Philyra and Leucosia zoeas.

In order to study the feasibility of utilizing bivoltine foundation cross (FC2) males of the silkworm as male components with Pure Mysore (PM), six foundation crosses viz,CSR2 x CSR27, CSR27 x CSR2, CSR27 x CSR50, CSR50 x CSR27, CSR2 x CSR50 and CSR50 x CSR2 along with CSR2 pure breed were assessed for performance of parental crop,grainage, rearing and reeling performance. The foundation crosses exhibited better performance than CSR2 as a parental crop and male component which resulted in higher egg recovery. Though there was not much difference between PM crossed with FC2 and CSR2 males pertaining to important bioassay parameters, PM x CSR2 exhibited superiority in reeling traits particularly with reelability and raw silk %. This study reveals that FC2 seed cocoons can be utilized during exigency when there is a dearth for CSR2 seed cocoons but not regularly.

Molipteryx fuliginosa (Uhler, 1860) is a plant juice sucker which feeds on new tips of Rubus oldhami Miquel and Zelkowa serrata Makino, and it has a strong preference for teses two plants in Korea. M. fuliginosa has one generation a year and hibernates as a young adult. Most of the winter survivors emerge in early May. It is the first time their host plants were found and reported. Females mainly lay their eggs one by one separately on the leaves of R. oldhami, and even on the steel wire, the lid guaze and the ground in the laboratory. Nymphs do not gather, but stay on the hatching site, Nymphs except the non-feeding first instar feed on young shoots. From the second to the fifth instar nymphs migrate to the upper part of the shoot and congregate in part on an expanded leaf. The new adults first appeared on 11 August, and remained in the host plant, and fed on until mid October. The duration of the hatching and molting, and the survivorship curve based on the laboratory rearing were determined.

Ten numbers of plants, based on their medicinal value, were used to test their efficacy against virosis (caused by cytoplassmic polyhedrosis virus) in tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta Drury. in indoor rearing conditions. The aqueous extracts of leaf of Azadirichita indica (neem), Acharanthus aspera, Psoralea corylifolia, Asparagus racemosus, Adhatoda zelanica (Basak), Andrographis paniculata (Kalmegh), Moringa oilephera (sahjan), whole plant of Phyllanthus urinaria (Bhuiamla), Centella asiatica (Veng sag) and Curcuma longa (Haldi powder) in different concentrations were used for containment of virosis in silkworm larvae. The tasar silkworm larvae were orally inoculated with PIBs ($1\times10^6$) of AmCPV in $2^{nd}$ instar and treated with plant extracts in each instar ($2^{rd}$ instar onwards). The mortality due to virosis was recorded during larval period. The plant extracts, irrespective of their concentrations, were found effective in suppressing the virosis where P. urinaria reduced the virosis to 56.90% followed by A. paniculata (53.82%) and least in C. asiatica (5.15%). The lowest pooled larva mortality 36.99% was recorded in the treatment of P. urinaria. Comparatively higher larva mortality 39.91% was observed with the treatment of A. paniculata. The highest larva mortality in treatment was with C. asiatica (81.99%). In treated control larva mortality was 86.50%.

The effects of temperature on the growth of larvae of wrinkled swimming crab (Liocarcinus corrugatus) under controlled laboratory conditions of 15, 20 and $24^{\circ}C$ were investigated (33.5 psu: 12L: 12B). Each specimen was maintained individually, the instar size was determined from exuvia, and the survival and intermolt period of each instar were recorded. There were no significant differences (P>0.05) in the survival rates at 15, 20, and $24^{\circ}C.$ Comparison of survival over the first 27 days between the three temperature regimes showed significant differences (P<0.001). The intermolt period increased with the instar number, and was greatly extended at the lowest temperature. The molt increment varied little with temperature, and had a mean value of $21.35\%$ over the whole study. Temperature had little effect on survival and molt increment.

The dung beetle, Gymnopleurus mopsus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), is one of endangered species in South Korea. It was last recorded in 1971. To restore this species, we introduced G. mopsus populations from eastern and southern regions of Mongolia in July 2019 and August 2019, respectively. One of the main tasks for the restoration of endangered insects is to develop breeding techniques to eventually incorporate these insects into the restoration system. In a series of laboratory experiments, we investigated effects of short-term hibernation periods on life-history traits of G. mopsus. Adult G. mopsus that had hibernated for 30, 60, and 90 days had lower survival rates than adults that had hibernated for 120 days. We also compared developmental time of these four experimental groups and found a significant difference in the egg - phase. However, the duration of hibernation did not affect the fecundity, brood-ball size, or body size of F1 adults. Follow-up studies are currently being conducted to further investigate the effect of a short-term hibernation period on population growth of G. mopsus under laboratory conditions.

멸종위기에 처한 꼬치동자개(Pseudobagrus brevicorpus)의 보전과 복원을 위한 기초 자료를 제공하기 위하여 인공사육 환경에서 사육된 종묘에서 친어까지의 성장과 성성숙 특징들을 조사하였다. 부화 후 698일의 인공사육 기간 동안 전장과 체중은 각각 $89.22{\pm}10.29mm$와 $70.93{\pm}7.68g$로 성장하였고, 전장 (TL)과 체중(BW)의 관계는 $BW=5{\times}10^{-5}\;TL^{2.678}$ ($R^2=0.995$)로 나타났으며, 생존율은 74.2%였다. 암컷과 수컷의 성비는 1 (암컷, 471) : 1 (수컷, 473)이었다. 부화 후 663일째에 암컷의 전장과 체중은 각각 $78.38{\pm}0.92\;mm$과 $6.38{\pm}0.20\;g$로 나타나 수컷의 $87.44{\pm}1.07mm$와 $8.43{\pm}0.31g$에 비해 높았으나, 비만도는 암컷이 수컷에 비해 유의적으로 값을 보였다(P<0.05). 암컷 1마리당 포란수는 평균 734개(508~867개)였고, 난경은 0.04~1.65mm의 범위를 보였다. 인공 사육된 친어는 만 2년이 되던 6월 초순에 인간 융모성 고나도트로핀(human chorionic gonadotropin: HCG)을 주사한 후 1~2일 사이에 산란이 가능하였고, 부화된 개체는 평균 216마리(113~338마리)였다.

팥나방 (Matsumuraeses phaseoli) (나비목: 잎말이나방과)은 한국에서 팥 (Vigna angularis)과 녹두 (Vigna radiata)의 꽃과 꼬투리를 가해하는 주요 해충의 하나인데, 수원지방에서 이 곤충의 발육 특성과 월동태를 추정할 목적으로 야외 ($37^{\circ}$16'N $126^{\circ}$59'E 35ASL) 조건에서 인공사육을 통해 발육과정이 관찰되었다. 갓 부화한 유충 집단들은 약 14일 간격으로 인공사료를 이용하여 1년 이상 야외에서 사육되었는데, 봄에서 고온인 여름철로 감에 따라 발육기간이 짧아지고, 가을철로 감에 따라 다시 길어지는 경향이었다. 유충 혹은 번데기 발육에서 여름철 하면 현상은 발견되지 않았다. 2008년 10월 8일 사육이 시작된 집단은 번데기 상태로 월동하였는데, 6%의 생존율을 보이며 이듬해 4월말 우화하였다. 10월 23일에 사육이 시작된 집단은 노숙유충태로 월동하였는데, 이듬해 4월말 용화하여, 5월 초중순에 2%의 최종 생존율을 보이며 우화하였다. 한편 실내에서 사육되어 5령까지 발육된 유충들을 11월과 2월 사이에 야외로 옮겨 사육하였을 때, 생존하는 개체들은 발견하지 못하였다. 항온조건 ($25^{\circ}C$, 15L:9D)에서 갓 산란된 알을 11월과 12월 중에 야외로 옮겨 유지하였을 때, 월동하여 부화하는 알은 발견되지 않았다. 또 항온조건에서 갓 우화한 성충들을 11월과 12월 중 야외로 옮겨 사육하였을 때, 모두 사망하였다. 이 결과로 팥나방은 한국의 수원지방에서 10월 중 부화한 유충들이 유충과 번데기로 월동할 수 있는 것으로 추정되었다.
