The purpose of the present study on the radula of Korean marine gastropods is to determine the systematic position of the species by the radula features. The radula features of 9 Families based on the observation of specimens consisting of 31 species are described briefly as follows. 1. Naticidae; Radula formula 2-1-C-1-2. Rachidian is 3-cusped. All cusps are strong and pointed. The lateral tooth is massive and strong with a huge triangula cusp. Two marginal teethare slender, long and strong. 2. Cymatidae; Radula formula 2-1-c-1-2. Fachidian, 1-cusped. Cusp is strong and acute. The basal margin is toothed with a number of small denticles. The lateral tooth is beak-like and strong with groove inside. The marginal teeth are slender and pointed. 3. Tonnidae; Radula Formula 2-1-C-1-2. Rachidian, 3 cusped. Central cusp is huge, strong and abruptly pointed. Lateral cusp is blunt and relatively small. The lateral tooth and maginal teeth are identical to that of the preceding one. 4. Muricidae; Radula formula 1-C-1. Rachidian has 3 to 5 cusps. Central cusp, long, thick, strong and pointed. Lateral cusps are rather shorter than central, thick, strong and well cut with several minute denticles along outer margin. The lateral tooth is falciform. 5. Pyrenidae; Radula formula 1-c-1 Rachidian lacks of cusp. The base is thin, narrow, small and rectangular. Lateral tooth has 2 cusps with a crescent shaped base. 6. Buccinidae; Radula formula 1-C-1. Rachidian has 3 to 7 cusps. The base is massive and broadened laterally. The lateral tooth is large-and has 2 to 4 cusps. The central cusp is the shortest, and become longer towards the each side. 7. Busyconidae ; Radula formula 1-C-1. Rachidian, 3-cusped with a massive base. All cusps are pointed and strong. Centeral cusp is rather shorter than lateral one. Lateral tooth, 2-cusped. Inner cusp short about one half the length of outer one. 8. Fasciolariidae; Radula formula 1-C-1. Rachidian, 3 to 4-cusped. Very small in size. Lateral tooth broadened laterally with about 10 thin, long, sharp cusps. 9. Volutidae ; Only the rachidian exists. Rachidian, 3-cusped. All cusps are strong and sharply pointed.

The distribution, external morphology, radula, chromosome numbers of Planorbidae snails were studied. 1. The specimens were collected at four stations in Nonsangun, Kongjugun, and Daedukgun which are located around Geum river. Three genera and three species of Planorbidae, Hippeutis cantorir Segmentina hemisphaerula and Gyraulus cenvexiusculus, were collected. H. cantori was the most abundant species among the three species. G. convexiusculus was the least abundant one. 2. Each species could be identified on the basis of its external characteristic, since the periphery of each species has a peculiar shape. H. cantori was the largest one among the three species. 3. The radula formula of each species was very similar to other species. The size of radula was proportional to the size of shell. The radula formulae of H. cantori, S. hemisphaerula, and G. convexiusculus were 29 : 1 : 29, 23 : 1 : 23, and 16 : 1 : 16 respectively. The difference of radula formula could be found in the total numbers of laternal and marginal teeth. 4. The haploid chromosome number of H. cantori was eighteen (n=18), S. hemisphaerula and G. convesiusculus were assumed to be same in their chromosome numbers (n: 18).

Abalone immortal cell lines can be used to study the physiological properties and disease mechanisms of abalone at the cellular and molecular level. As a first step for the final goal to establish abalone immortal cell lines, we examined various initial culture conditions for primary cell populations derived from Haliotis discus hannai radula tissue. The survival rate after cell isolation procedures using the enzymatic method was as low as $9.95{\pm}2.37%$. Based on three different experimental conditions for H. discus hannai radula-derived cell culture, we found that the salinity of the media and the presence of growth-promoting factors were important to support radula-derived primary cell populations during the initial culture. The growth factor-containing media adjusted to 35 psu salinity could induce 100% (8 out of 8 trials) initial cell attachment, and the rate of cell attachment reached 50-70%. The data obtained from this study will provide useful information for developing immortal cell lines from abalone species.

The Strombus Linn$\acute{e}$, 1758 is a genus of marine mollusks belonging to the class Gastropoda, and is distributed in the tropical waters of the world. Typically, the family Strombidae includes five extant genera (Strombus, Lambis, Terebellum, Tibia, and Rimella), all of which are mostly found in tropical waters. Five individuals of Strombus luhuanus Linn$\acute{e}$, 1758 were collected from Uljin, Gyeongsangbuk-do province for the first time. In this study, we describe details of shell morphology and radula characters of the species with scanning electron microscopy images of the radula. This is a new record of Strombus luhuanus Linn$\acute{e}$, 1758 from Korean waters.

Leptochiton Gray, 1847 is one of the most ancient chiton groups which includes more than 130 species that occur in cold and deep waters worldwide. Due to their small-sized body, they are often confused as juveniles of other chiton species. Moreover, lack of morphological information makes species identification of this group very challenging. To date, only two Leptochiton species(L. fuliginatus and L. rugatus) have been reported from Korean waters. In this study, we found L. hakodatensis(Thiele, 1909) for the first time in Korea and described microscopic morphological characters of valves (tegmentum sculpture), girdle scale, and radula using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Leptochiton hakodatensis is morphologically similar to L. fuliginatus and L. rugatus, but differently characterized by having dorso-ventrally rounded (not carinated) intermediate valves, girdle (perinotum) scales sculptured with 4-7 longitudinal ribs, and bicuspid major lateral teeth of radula. In addition to morphological examination, we determined the partial mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I(cox1) as a DNA barcode sequence information. This is the first report that describes microscopic characters (tegmentum of valves, girdle structure, and radula) of L. hakodatensis using a SEM. This study provides a morphological basis for describing Leptochiton species and discovery of a "hidden" species of this genus.

Protochitonidae Ashby, 1925 is a family of small to medium sized chitons that includes a single fossil genus and two extant genera. Of the two extant genera, Deshayesiella Carpenter in Dall, 1879 contains 5 described species. Although most Deshayesiella species are known to be found in deep sea habitats(over 100 m), D. curvata (Carpenter in Pilsbry, 1892) is found from shallow waters(1-20 m). In this study, we provide details of microstructure of shell and radula characters using scanning electron microscopy and morphological features of D. curvata, and its partial sequence of mitochondrial DNA cox1 gene as DNA barcode sequence. In addition, we compare morphological differences of D. curvata from other congeneric species.

Eight species of the family Bithyniidae, Bithynia striatula, B. tentaculata, B. siamensis, B. leachi, B. kiusiuensis, B. misella, Bithynia sp. from Nepal, and Gabbia australis were studied for comparison of the radula structure by scanning electron microscope. Radular ribbons of B. siamensis and B. leachi had 60-70 rows, and the other species had 40-50 rows. Teeth of all species studied had symmetrical structure, i.e. a total of seven teeth (one central tooth, and one lateral and two pairs of marginal teeth on each side) in each row were observed. The basic tooth formula of eight bithyniids was 2:1:1:1:2. Numbers and shapes of cusps were slightly differ from individuals or species. The mesocone of the central tooth of B. striatula, B. tentaculata, B. siamensis and Bithynia sp. differed from those of the other species observed.

Allele frequencies in twenty-two populations from nine Korean muricid species of five genera (Rapaninae and Ocenebrinae) wire analyzed genetically using 13 loci from 11 allozyme systems. The clustering patterns of these species were basically consistent with traditional groupings to two subfamilial categories based on shell and radula morphologies. Within six ocenebrine species it was apparent that Ceratostoma inornata and Pteropurpura adunca were most closely related to each other than to any other species belonging to the genus Ceratostoma. These results, along with other anatomical features 〔morphologies of albumin gland (female), egg capsule〕, suggest that the generic position of C. inornata, previously classified to be congeneric with other western Pacific Ceratostoma species, should be reconsidered. Our results show the close relationship of Nucella freycineti with other ocenebrine species, rather than with rapanines, which supports a previous suggestion that the genus Nucella should be placed with the subfamily Ocenebrinae rather than the subfamily Rapaninae.
