Optimum concentrations of anesthetic clove oil and anesthetic lidocaine-HCl were determined for a species of adult marine medaka, Oryzias dancena, over a range of salinity conditions, and investigated in a transport simulation experiment by analyzing various water and physiological parameters. Research indicated that the higher the concentration of anesthetic at each salinity, the shorter the anesthesia time at each salinity. At each concentration, fish were anesthetized slower at water salinities over 10 ppt (P<0.05). Anesthesia time at 10 ppt was faster than any other salinity. In 10 ppt salinity, the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations and respiratory frequencies of the clove-oil-administered groups decreased until 48 hours (P<0.05), whereas the $NH_4{^+}$ and $CO_2$ concentrations increased until 48 hours (P<0.05). In same period, the DO, $NH_4{^+}$, and $CO_2$ concentrations and respiratory frequencies all decreased as the clove oil concentration increased (P<0.05). The trends in the DO, $NH_4{^+}$, and $CO_2$ concentrations and respiratory frequencies in the lidocaine-HCl-administered groups were similar to those in the clove-oil-administered groups. In conclusion, clove oil and lidocaine-HCl are effective anesthetics, improving the transportation of the marine medaka. The results from this study will contribute to safe laboratory handling of the marine medaka, which are commonly required by many research studies and experiments.

본 연구에서는 광염성 송사리 Oryzias dancena 성체 및 자어의 염분도 변화에 대한 내성 및 생존 능력을 평가하고자 다양한 염분도 변화 처리를 수행하였다. 담수로부터 고 염분도 조건으로의 급격한 염분도 증가 노출 처리에 대하여 O. dancena 성체는 $40^{\circ}/_{\circ\circ}$염분도 변화 폭까지 생존의 장애 없이 빠르게 적응할 수 있는 것으로 관찰되었으며, 단계적인 순치를 통할 경우 최대 $75^{\circ}/_{\circ\circ}$의 염분도 조건까지 생존이 가능하였다. 염분도의 감소 처리에서 O. dancena 성체는 $60^{\circ}/_{\circ\circ}$ 이상의 급격한 감소 폭에서도 우수한 생존율을 나타내였다. 성체와 달리 O. dancena 자어는 급격한 염분도 증가에 대한 삼투압 조절 능력 (hyper-osmoregulation)이 유의적으로 낮아 약 $15^{\circ}/_{\circ\circ}$ 이상의 염분도 증가에서는 생존에 큰 장애를 겪는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 초기 발달 단계에 있는 자어의 염분도 변화에 대한 내성은 최초 염분도 처리 농도에 따라 염분도 변화에 대한 내성 폭이 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 관찰되었다. 초기 발달 단계에서 O. dancena 자어는 염분도 증가 보다는 염분도 감소 시 삼투압 조정 능력 (hypo-osmoregulation)이 더 높은 것으로 나타나 $40^{\circ}/_{\circ\circ}$에서 완전 담수로의 염분도 변화에서도 우수한 생존 능력을 보였다.

The sterilization effects of methylene blue (MB), formalin, and iodine on the egg of marine medaka, Oryzias dancena, were investigated for disinfecting naididae worm, Chaetogaster diastrophus through sterilization. To determine harmfulness of MB, formalin, and iodine, lethal concentrations 50 ($LC_{50}$) of three chemicals were analyzed in the eggs of marine medaka. The sterilized periods of each chemical were set at 1 hr. Sterilized rates of naididae worm in each chemical were significantly affected and increased drastically as the concentration of each chemical increased (p<0.05). Sterilization abilities of naididae worm were most effective for formalin, but survival rates of egg and hatched rates for formalin were lowest among each chemical. The $LC_{50}$ of MB over 96 hrs were 185.26, 103.84, and 127.15 ppm for adults, juveniles, and eggs respectively. The toxic effects of MB were clearly dose dependent for each life stage (p<0.05). The toxicity sensitivity of juveniles to MB was dramatically higher than that of other groups. In 48 hrs after sterilization, cortisol and glucose concentrations of the adult group with MB treatment were significantly higher than those of the adult group with no treatment (p<0.05). This research provides useful data on sterilization effect of MB, formalin, and iodine, acute toxicity in marine medaka egg and toxicity, sensitivity of life stage of MB in marine medaka.

Some fish live in aquatic environments with low or temporally changing $O_2$ availability. Variation in dissolved oxygen (DO) levels requires behavioral, physiological, and biochemical adaptations to ensure the uptake of sufficient $O_2$. Several species are relatively well adapted to tolerate low $O_2$ partial pressures (hypoxia). The medaka (Oryzias dancena ) is an important model organism for biomedical research that shows remarkable tolerance to hypoxia. We investigated the regulation and role of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-$1{\alpha}$) as a general hypoxia-response gene and stanniocalcin-2 (STC2), which is one of the genes regulated by HIF-$1{\alpha}$ in mammals under hypoxia. We subjected adult male medaka to the following three acute hypoxia regimes: 1, 24, and 72 h at DO = $1.8{\pm}0.5$ ppm. The changes in STC2 and HIF-$1{\alpha}$ mRNA were monitored using quantitative real-time reverse-transcription PCR. We found strong upregulation of HIF-$1{\alpha}$ mRNA in the livers of fish exposed to hypoxia. Hypoxia rapidly upregulated STC-2 mRNA expression in muscle, but not in the brain, gills, liver, or intestine. Therefore, unlike in mammals, hypoxia might regulate O. dancena STC-2 expression in an HIF-$1{\alpha}$-independent manner.

The marine medaka, Oryzias dancena is a suitable sample as a laboratory animal because it has a small size and clearly distinguishes between female and male. Data on the growth and maturity of the diploid and triploid sea cucurbit species suitable for laboratory animals are very useful for studying other species. Triploidy was induced in the marine medaka by cold shock treatment ($0^{\circ}C$) of fertilized eggs for 45 min, applied two minutes after fertilization. The diploid and triploid male fish were larger than their female counterparts (P<0.05), and the concentrations of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroxine (T4) were higher in the induced triploids over 1 year (P<0.05). In both the diploid and tri-ploid groups the concentrations of TSH and T4 were higher in the male fish than in the females (P<0.05), while the testo-sterone and estradiol-$17{\beta}$ concentrations in the induced triploids were lower than in the diploids (P<0.05). The gonadosomatic index (GSI) of the triploid fish was lower than that for the diploids, and the GSI for females in each ploidy group were higher than that for the males. For both groups the GSI was highest at 4 months of age, and decreased thereafter to 12 months. Analysis of the gonads of one-year-old triploid fish suggested that the induction of triploidy probably causes sterility in this species; this effect was more apparent in females than in males.

The aim of this study was to assess visible implant fluorescent elastomer (VIE) tagging and stress response in marine medaka, Oryzias dancena. The experimental fish were anesthetized individually and marked with red, yellow, or green elastomer at each of the following three body locations: (1) the abdomen, (2) the back, and (3) the caudal vasculature. During 12 months, the accumulated survival rates of fish in the experimental treatments were not different among red, yellow, and green elastomers. The experimental fish retained > 85% of the tags injected in the back, > 70% of the tags injected in the caudal vasculature, and > 60% of the tags injected in the abdomen (P < 0.05). An important observation was that the abdomen site was associated with poor tag retention. For all injected sites, the red and green tags were able to be detected more easily than the yellow tags when observed under both visible and UV lights. Tag readability was lower for the abdomen site than for the other sites (back and caudal vasculature). Thus, VIE tags were easy to apply to marine medaka (< 1 min per fish) and were readily visible when viewed under UV light.

Background: The transgenic approach using estrogen-responsive regulator in fish has been given much attention as a potential means to detect and/or address estrogen-related aquatic pollutions. In order to address the development stage- and reproduction status-dependent expression patterns of the chgH-rfp transgene (red fluorescent protein transgene driven by choriogenin H promoter) in marine medaka Oryzias dancena, naturally occurring red fluorescent protein (RFP) signals under non-exposed conditions as well as the transgenically induced RFP signals under estrogen-exposed conditions were assayed. Results: Female transgenics begun to show naturally occurring RFP signals from the age of 7 weeks post hatching (WPH) without experimental estrogen exposure. Afterward, these RFP signals in female transgenics became robust with the progress of ovarian maturation. On the other hand, male transgenics did not show any naturally occurring RFP signal under non-exposed conditions irrespective of developmental stages and maturation statue. Upon exposures using estradiol-$17{\beta}$ (E2) and $17{\alpha}$-ethinylestradiol (EE2), RFP signals were significantly induced specifically in the livers of transgenic males. Conclusions: Male chgH-rfp transgenics were able to keep the "off" state of RFP expression during their entire life cycle unless exposed to exogenous estrogens. Owing to their tight regulation capability of estrogen-responsive transgene, transgenesis of chgH-rfp in male marine medaka could offer a useful model system for future ecotoxicogenomic studies regarding estrogenicity-related issues in aquatic and marine environments.

본 연구는 해산송사리, Oryzias dancena의 산란행위를 분석하여 인공산란 기술 개발에 그 목적이 있다. 실험 사육수조에서 관찰한 결과, 실험 시작 후 모든 수컷이 각자 목표로 한 암컷을 쫓아감과 동시에, 상대적으로 큰 수컷이 작은 수컷의 생식공을 공격하여 축출하는 행동(biting, expelling)을 보였다. 이후, 수컷은 암컷과 나란히 유영하며 구애행동을 보였으며, 뒷지느러미와 등지느러미를 이용해 암컷의 어체를 감싸고 방란 및 방정한 결과, 수정난은 암컷의 생식공 부근에 부착되어 있었다. 수컷이 covering 하는 동안 암컷이 재빨리 앞으로 유영하는 행동을 많은 빈도로 관찰하였는 바, 이는 암컷이 수컷의 구애행동을 거절하는 경우라고 사료된다. 총 빈도 81%의 산란행동 요인 2가지를 분석한 결과(P<0.05), 요인 1 (biting, expelling)은 암컷을 차지하기 위한 수컷의 방어 행동으로 총 빈도의 23.1%였으며(P<0.05), 요인 2 (chasing, parallel swimming, covering, reject)는 산란을 위한 행동으로 총 빈도의 59.7%를 차지하였다(P<0.05). 본 결과는 해산송사리 종 보존의 기본적 생물학적 자료 제공과 아울러 인공산란 기법에 유용한 자료로 쓰일 것이다.
