The strength of juvenile black rockfish, Sebastes schlegeli, raised in different hatcheries for wild stock enhancement was evaluated in terms of resistance to an anesthetizing agent, tricaine methane-sulfonate (MS-222), and exposure to drying. The working dosage of MS-222 varied significantly with fish size and hatchery population. Smaller fish were less resistant to the chemical than larger ones. MS-222 effects also differed with fish growth history. The fish cultured in embanked populations showed stronger resistance, earlier recovery, and lower mortality, compared to those cultured in land-based tanks or collected from wild stocks. Similar results were seen in juveniles challenged to dry exposure. These results suggest that an embanked population of black rockfish is more resistant to anesthetic stress, expressed as anesthesia recovery and mortality, and that this population is healthier than others.

MS-222 농도별로 자연산 및 양식산 감성돔 치어의 마취효과를 비교하면 수온 $22^{\circ}C$ 고수온구가 $12^{\circ}C$의 저수온구에 비해 마취 및 회복시간이 빨랐으며, 수온 $12^{\circ}C$의 저수온에서는 자연산이 양식산에 비하여 마취 및 회복이 빨랐다. MS-222 100 ppm 농도에서 침지시간별 회복 조사에서도 $22^{\circ}C$ 실험구가 $12^{\circ}C$의 저수온 실험구에 비해 회복시간이 빨랐으며, 수온 $12^{\circ}C$의 동일 수온에서의 자연산과 양식산 치어를 비교했을 시에는 자연산 치어가 양식산 치어에 비해 마취후 회복이 빨랐다. MS-222 100 ppm에 3분간 침지후 공기중 노출시간에 따른 회복시간 조사 결과도 마찬가지로 $22^{\circ}C$ 실험구가 $12^{\circ}C$의 저수온에 비해 회복시간이 빨랐으며, 수온 $12^{\circ}C$에서는 자연산 치어가 양식산 치어에 비해 회복이 다소 빨랐다. 그러나 공기중에 노출시간이 15분 이상인 경우에 $12^{\circ}C$의 저수온 실험 구에서 수온 $22^{\circ}C$의 고수온구에 비해 회복이 빨랐다. 수온 $12^{\circ}C$에서는 자연산이 양식산 치어에 비해 회복이 빨랐다. 따라서 자연산 감성돔 치어가 양식산 치어에 비하여 마취 및 공기중 노출 내성이 강함을 알 수 있었다.

Background: Due to the continuous demand for fish coupled with decline in capture fisheries, there is the need to increase aquaculture production to meet the demand. Aquaculture is faced with high cost of feeding since fish oil and fish meal are expensive. In view of this, there are calls to explore alternatives that are cheap and reliable. Objectives: This study on Oreochromis niloticus was conducted to evaluate the effects of replacing fish oil (FO) with palm oil (PO) at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% on muscle fatty acid and proximate composition as well as growthrelated enzyme activities and mRNA expression. Methods: Oreochromis niloticus were fed five experimental diets (33% crude protein and 10% crude lipid) for 8 weeks. Feed had variation in fish oil and palm oil contents. After the 8 weeks feeding trial, five fish were sampled from each tank (15 from each treatment) and euthanized using an excess dose of tricaine methane sulfonate (MS-222 at 200 mg/L). Fatty acid and enzyme activities were analyzed using standard protocols. Also, RT-qPCR was used to quantify the expression levels of selected growth-related genes. Results: Fish fed 25% PO recorded the least muscle protein content and was significantly lower than the group fed 100% PO. Paired box protein 7 (Pax-7) enzyme activity was significantly higher in the group fed 50% PO compared to the groups fed 25% PO and 100% PO, while caplain-3 (Capn-3) was significantly lower in the group fed 0% PO compared to all other groups. There was a significant difference among treatments with respect to mRNA expression of Pax-7 and Capn-3. Group fed 25% PO had significantly lower mRNA expression of Pax-7, while the group fed 75% PO recorded significantly higher mRNA expression of Capn-3 compared to groups fed 0% PO, 25% PO, and 100% PO. Pearson's correlation analysis revealed that Igf-I and Igf-II mRNA expression have significant correlation with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids content in muscle. Conclusion: The results suggest muscle protein content could be modified if FO is replaced with PO. Also, mRNA expression of Pax-7 and Capn-3 is affected by replacing FO with PO.
