Pseudogobio esocinus의 심장, 신장 및 간 조직은 하부단위체 C를 함유하는 젖산수소이탈효소를 갖고 있음이 확인되었다. 하부단위체 A 및 B에 대한 유전자들의 조직 발현은 다른 포유동물의 것과 유사하였으며 분자량은 140,000 정도로 추정되었다. Oxamate gel을 사용한 chromatography결과 A4 동위효소는 NAD+보다는 column buffer에 의해 용출되었다. B4 동위효소는 CM-Sepharose column을 사용하여 부붙 정제되었다. B4 동위효소는 물론 A4 동위효소도 고농도의 Pyruvate에 의해 저해되었다. A4 동위효소의 affinity chromatography 상 행동과 Pyruvate 저해 정도로 보아 A4 등위효소는 B4 동위효소 두 역학적으로 유사하다고 사료된다. P. esainus A4 동위효소에 대한 항체는 mouse A4 등위효소와 반응하지만 동종의 B4 동위 효소와는 반응하지 않는 특성으로 보아 하부단위체 B는 진화과정에서 보존성이 낮은 것으로 사료된다. Three tissues of heart, kidney and liver of a primitive cvprinid Pseudogobio esocinus were found to have lactate dehydrogenase isozyme(5) containing subunit C. Tissue expressions of genes for subunits A and B were similar to those of mammalian species. Molecular weight of the isozymes were estimated to be 140,000 approximately. Affinity chromatography of the isozymes on the immobilized oxamate gel revealed that A4 isozyme was not elected in NAD+ but in column buffer. B4 isozune was isozpnatically purified by subjecting kidney extract to a CM-Sepharose column. Ae isozvme as well as B4 isozvme was inhibited by high concentrations of pyruvate. The affinity chromatographic behavior and susceptibility to pyruvate inhibition of the A4 isorpne suggest that A4 isozwne is similar to B4 isozyme kinetically. Antibodies against p. esocinus A4 isogyme reacted with mouse At isozyme but not with p. esocinus B4 isogyme, reflecting that subunit B is less conservative in its evolution.

This study examines the osteological development of the Pike gudgeon, Pseudogobio esocinus in the cranial, vertebral, caudal, pelvic and pectoral girdle for the purpose of taxonomic and aquacultural studies. Adult Pike gudgeon collected from the Boseonggang River were reared at 18.5~19.5℃ (average 19.0℃). At 5 days after hatching (total length (TL) 4.25 mm), the parasphenoid, dentary, centrum of vertebrae and clavicle began to ossify. At 22 days after hatching (TL 6.33 mm), 36 to 38 vertebrae had ossified. At 42 days after hatching (TL 16.71 mm), the majority of the skeleton had ossified. Pike gudgeon exhibited comparable characteristics to other fishes of Gobionidae throughout its development, although it displayed differences in some areas, such as the caudal skeleton and fin supports.

The metabolism of lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27, LDH) and $C_4$ isozyme were studied in tissues of Coreoperca herzi and Pseudogobio esocinus acclimated to rapid increase of dissolved oxygen (DO). In C. herzi the LDH activity was changed $35-39\%$ in brain and liver tissues, and within $20\%$ in other tissues. The $B_4$ isozyme was increased and isozyme containing subunit C was decreased in muscle tissue. The $B_4$ isozyme was increased in heart and kidney. In P. esocinus, the LDH activity in liver tissues was largely increased to $150\%$ for 30 minute and $70\%$ in other tissues. The $A_4$ isozyme was increased in muscle and $B_4$ isozyme was increased in other tissues. Especially, the metabolism of liver tissue in P. esocinus was regulated by increasing liver-specific $C_4$ and decreasing $A_4$ isozyme. But the metabolism of eye tissue in C. herzi was regulated by decreasing LDH activity and eye-specific $C_4$ isozyme. The LDH activity and LDH isozyme in P. esocinus were largely increased than C. herzi acclimated to rapid increase of DO. And eye-specific $C_4$ and liver-specific $C_4$ isozymes played role as lactate oxidase. Therefore, the response of species acclimated to rapid increase of DO seems to be variable, perhaps due to prior exposure to environmental conditions.

The Pseudogobio esocinus were caught at Wyuleo-ri, Gyeombaek-myeon, Boseong-gun, Jeollanamdo from April to May 2003. The fishes were incubated in transparent aquarium located at the laboratory of Chonnam National University, and their embryonic and larval development were observed. The fertilized eggs were spherical, semitransparent, and adhesive, and were $1.98{\pm}0.19mm$ (n=50) in diameter. The embryo, including 31$\sim$32 myotomes, hatched through egg membrane at 164 hrs after fertilization. The newly-hatched larvae were $4.61{\pm}0.83mm$ (n=10) in total length (TL). At that moment, yolk was not absorbed, and mouth and anus were not open. Star and spot shaped melanophores were distributed on the lens, and dorsal, ventral, and caudal parts. At 42 days after hatching, larva was $16.22{\pm}0.65mm$ (n=10) in TL. Melanophores were scaterred at head, back, and side parts. Morphological features of the embryo were transferred to juvenile stage showing similar features with those of the adult fish.

The dynamic of fish community was investigated in the Wonju stream from March 1998 to February 1999. The collected species during the surveyed period were 24 species belonging to eight families. Eight species (33%) of them were endemic species of Korea. According to relative abundance in the studied areas, Moroco oxycephalus (30.7%), Zacco platypus (29.6%), Carassius auratus (10%), Pseudogobio esocinus (9.4%) and Rhinogobius brunneus (3.6%) dominated. Hemibarbus longirostris, Pungtungia herzi, Squalidus japonicus coreanus, Zacco temmincki, Cobitis rotundicaudata, Silurus asotus, Silurus microdorsalis and Micropterus salmoides were rare to the areas, which occupied less than 0.1% in relative abundance. Dominant species was M. oxycephalus (Kumda-ri, Kwanseol-dong, Hanggu-dong, heongyang-ri), Z. platypus (Gaeun-dong) and C. auratus (Jusan-ri). It was revealed by the analysis of community that St. 3 was the most diverse among all study stations. Coreoleuciscus splendidus and Coreopera herzi have been assumed vanished in the Wonju stream. The species occurring in suddenly decreasing trend were Microphysogobio yaluensis, Liobagrus andersoni, Cottus poecilopus and R. brunneus. The species occurring in representative increasing trend were Cyprinus carpio, C. auratus, P. esocinus, M. oxycephalus, and Z. platypus.

Spermiogenesis and mature spermatozoa of the Korean false minnow Pseudogobio esocinus (Cyprinidae) are described by means of scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Spermiogenesis is characterized by lateral development of the flagellum, absence of nuclear rotation, and eccentric nuclear fossa formation. The spermatozoa have a spherical head containing a nucleus with highly condensed chromatin and no acrosome. The nuclear fossa contains the proximal centriole and anterior part of the distal centriole. The midpiece is type A II and contains semi-fused mitochondria around the axoneme. However, the symmetrical distribution of 4 or more the mitochondria does not follow a general pattern of the cyprinid spermatozoa. Cytoplasmic vesicles in the midpiece are common in Cypriniformes and some of Siluriformes and Characiformes spermatozoa.

The fish fauna and community structures were investigated at 15 stations in the midupper region of the Seomjin River watershed from August in 2008 to April in 2009. During the studying period, 42 species belonging to 11 families were collected. Dominant family in the all sites was Cyprinidae (28 species, relative abundance: 66.7%) during the study. Total of 42 species (primary freshwater: 40 species, peripheral freshwater: 2 species) were found with the primary freshwater fishes being the highest. Dominant species was Zacco platypus (22.3%), and subdominant species was Coreoferea herzi (10.8%). Also, Pseudogobio esocinus (9.0%) and Carassius auratus (5.8%) were numerous. There were 17 Korean endemic species (40.5%), including Rhodeus ocellatus, Acheilgnathus koreensis, A. somjinensis, Coreoleuciscus splendidus and Sarcocheillichthys variegatus wakiyae. Among them, Acheilgnathus somjinensis was identified for designation required to protect under a wildlife category. In conclusion, we could define that the Seomjin River watershed has a very good water conditions as habitat of fish.
