1987년 6월부터 1990년 5월까지 진해만의 저서동물 군집에서 우점하는 아기반투명조개(Theora fragilis A. Adams)에 대한 개체군 생태학적 연구를 수행하였다. 조사결과, 이 종의 주된 분포 구역은 진해만의 입구 정점이었으나 겨울철에는 내만의 안쪽으로 확장되었다. 이 종은 여름철과 겨울철의 2회에 걸쳐 치패의 착저가 관찰되었으나 주 착저시기는 여름철이었다. 진해만 입구의 정점에서는 이러한 대량착저로 인해 그 밀도가 2,116개체/m$^{[-992]}$ 에 달하였다. 그러나 착저한 치패의 초기 감모로 인해 가을철의 밀도는 급격히 낮아졌다. 한편, 이 종의 분포는 퇴적물의 유기물 함량과 깊은 관계를 보여서 3.0-5.0%(평균 4.54$\pm$1.42%), 퇴적물의 평균 입도 8.97($\pm$0.62)$\varphi$사이에서 상대적으로 높은 밀도를 보였다. 그러나 퇴적물의유기물 함량의 증가와 함께 이 종의 밀도가 대체로 증가하지만 5.0% 이상에서는 다시 감소하는 현상을 보였다. 이 종은 여름철 저층수의 빈산소 수괴가 사라진 후에는 다시 진해만의 안 쪽 내만정점에서 높은 밀도를 나타냈다. 따라서 진해만에서의 본 종의 분포는 전반적으로 퇴적물의 유기물 함량. 퇴적물의 입도 조성 및 저층수의 용존 산소량 등에 의해 결정된다고 판단된다.

진해만 바위해안 조간대에 서식하는 뿔소라과 2종, 대수리(Thais clavigera)와 뿔두드럭고둥(T. luteostoma), 에서 수컷의 성징이 암컷에게서 발현되는 임포섹스 현상을 조사하였다. 임포섹스는 전 조사정점에서 100% 나타나고 있었으므로 본 조사에서 수컷의 성징을 보이지 않은 암컷은 발견할 수 없었다. 임포섹스의 강도를 나타내는 상대 성기 길이 지수(relative penislength index: RPL)는 34.7%에서 81.1%의 범위에 있었다. 특히 마산만 안쪽의 조사정점에서는 암컷의 구성비가 크게 감소하고 어린 개체를 거의 발견할 수 없는 등 개체군이 임포섹스의 영향을 받고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 두 종의 체내에 함유된 트리부틸주석(TBT)과 트리페닐주석(TPT)의 농도를 분석한 결과 각각 0.18-1.45 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g, 0.42-6.30 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g의 범위에 있었으며, 임포섹스의 정도는 트리부틸주석과 트리페닐주석의 체내 농도와 밀접한 관계를 보였다. s 대수리와 뿔두드럭고등의 임포섹스는 우리 나라에서 유기주석 화합물의 오염을 나타내는 좋은 지표로 사용될 수 있으며, TBT의 사용 규제이후 그 효과를 감시하기 위한 용도로도 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

This study researched and compared the sedimentation environment and photosynthetic pigments at Gomso (GS) -bay, Yoja (YJ) -bay and KangJin (KJ) -bay in May, 2012. It was shown that KJ-bay consist of C (clay) and M (mud), and GS-bay consists of Zs (silty sand) and Sz (sandy silt). Averagely, IL of YJ-bay was 4.98%, KJ-bay 6.10%, and GS-bay 1.45%. As for COD concentration, there were no places that exceeded Japanese sediment contamination standard 20 mg/g-dry. As for AVS concentration, in case of KJ-bay, two places exceeded Japanese sediment contamination standard 0.2 mg/g-dry. If we look into the average C/N ratio of bays, YJ-bay showed 8.50, KJ-bay 6.60, and GS-bay 5.52, thus all of them showed the characteristic of oceanic origin. As for the plankton make-up classified by photosynthetic pigments, diatom was dominant, and both ratios of pigment and C/chlorophyll. a showed the relatively lower distribution at GS-bay than at KJ-bay and YJ-bay. It is judged that this is related to the characteristic of flow-in, and it implies that predation process and decomposition by organic matters actively occurs at YJ-bay and KJ-bay.

Previously, we have reported expressed sequence tags (ESTs) analysis on the land snail, Nesiohelix samarangae (Ns). Of these ESTs, we have identified four partial fragments of N. samarangae cytochrome oxydase I (NsCO-I) gene which lead to obtain an 852 bp partial cDNA. Since NsCO-I is one of the best-known molecular phylogenetic markers, we have attempted to conduct comparative in silico analysis by using the NsCO-I gene. The combined results from BLAST analyses, multiple sequence alignment and molecular phylogenetic study of NsCO-I cDNA indicate that N. samarangae has similarity to three land snails such as Elona quimperiana, Euhadra herklotsi and Euhadra idzumonis.

Triploids have several potential advantages over diploids in aquaculture, drawing an elevated commercial reaction into the realistic application of the techniques despite we are still in the early stage of triploid industry for the Pacific oysters Crassostrea gigas. We traced the growth performance of the triploid C. gigas for over a year from hatchery spats, which was created by manipulations of chemicals (Cytochalasin B, CB or 6-Dimethylaminopurine, 6-DMAP). The growth was clearly marked by an initial longer dormancy and following a great magnitude of heterogeneity. The dormancy was almost 9 to 10-month long or even longer and was considered as a downside of the creation. The heterogeneity was magnified by appearance of extraordinarily growing oysters in part during summer season, which could be a representative upside of the triploids. Overall, however, the results were not as positive as were expected. The longer dormancy and following heterogeneity observed in our practice could be marked as an additional negative sign of the chemical use. The present study, thus, might be highly indicative in the introduction of biological cross between tetraploid and diploid to produce natural triploid embryos.

Ultrastructural studies of oogenesis in oocytes, oocyte degeneration associated with the follicle cells in female Coecella chinensis were investigated for clams collected from Namhae, Geongsangnam-do, Korea. In this study, vitellogenesis during oogenesis in the oocytes occured by way of endogenous autosynthesis and exogenous heterosynthesis. Of two processes of vitellogenesis during oogenesis, the process of endogenous autosynthesis involved the combined activity of the Golgi complex, mitochondria and rough endoplasmic reticulum. whereas the process of exogenous heterosynthesis involved endocytotic incorporation of extraovarian precursors at the basal region of the oolema of the early vitellogenic oocytes prior to the formation of the vitelline coat. It is assumed that the follicle cells were involved in the development of previtellogenic and early vitellogenic oocytes and appear to play an integral role in vitellogenesis in the early and late vitellogenic oocytes by endocytosis of yolk precursors, and also they were involved in oocyte degeneration by assimilating products originating from the degenerated oocytes, thus allowed the transfer of york precursors needed for vitellogenesis (through phagocytosis by phagolysosomes after spawning). Follicle cells presumably have a lysosomal system for breakdown products of oocyte degeneration. and for reabsorption of various phagosomes (phagolysosomes) in the cytoplasm for nutrient storage during the period of oocyte degeneration.

These studies were conducted to compare the radulae of six species (Nordotis madaka, N. gigantea, N. discus discus, N. discus hannai, Sulculus diversicolor diversicolor, and S. diversicolor supertexta) of the family Haliotidae in Korea using the scanning electron microscope. As a result, teeth of all species has asymmetry rhipidoglossate form and basic tooth formula of six Haliotids was >50-5-1-5-50< (one central tooth, five lateral teeth, and over the 50 marginal teeth on each side). Therefore it is difficult that all of the species can be detected sharply the difference of interspecies by comparisons of radulae.

The availability of fast and inexpensive sequencing technology has enabled researchers around the world to conduct many genome sequencing and expressed sequence tag (EST) projects of diverse organisms. In recent years, whole genome projects have been undertaken to sequence ten species from the phylum Mollusca. These include Aplysia californica, Lottia gigantea, Crassostrea virginica, Spisula solidissima, Mytilus californianus, Biomphalaria glabrata, Crepidula fornicata, Elysia chlorotica, Lottia scutum and Radix balthica. Additionally, complete mitochondrial genomes of 91 mollusks have been reported. In Korea, EST projects have been conducted in nine mollusk species that include Nesiohelix samarangae, Pisidium (Neopisidium) coreanum, Physa acuta, Incilaria fruhstorferi, Meretrix lusoria, Ruditapes philippinarum, Nordotis gigantea, Crassostrea gigas and Laternula elliptica. Finally, the mitochondrial genome projects from the Pacific Oyster (Crassostrea gigas) and the rock shell (Thais clavigera) have been conducted and reported. However, no systemic mollusk genome project has so far been conducted in Korea. In this report, the current status and research trends in mollusk genome study in Korea will be discussed.

This study was conducted to investigate protocol standardization for spermatozoa cryopreservation of the Scapharca broughtonii (Schrenck). Among the freezing rates, freezing at a height of 2 cm above liquid nitrogen surface for 5 minute gave higher activity and survival rate. Among the various diluents, Ringer's solution was the best for S. broughtonii sperm cryopreservation. The suitability of cryoprotectants dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), dimethylacetamide (DMA), glycerol and methanol were tested against three freezing rates. DMSO gave significantly higher activity and survival rates than others.
