본 연구의 목적은 부화 후 67일 동안 대서양산 Haddock, Melanogrammus aeglefinus 치어의 초기성장을 조사하여, 본 종의 발생생물학과 양식 측면에서의 정보 제공하고자 한다. 전장성장은 $TL=3.5374e^{0.0536X}(r^2=0.8759$, TL은 전장이며, X는 부화 후 표본시일), 체중성장은 $BW=0.0002e^{0.1858X}(r^2=0.8671$, BW는 체중이며, X는 부화 후 표본시일)로 각 성장들은 지속적인 성장을 보였다. 체고와 가슴지느러미 길이는 연속적인 성장을 보여 체고성장은 $BD=0.3545e^{0.0778X}(r^2=0.9563$, BD는 체고이며, X는 부화 후 표본시일)였으며 가슴지느러미 길이성장은 $PL=0.0111e^{0.1591X}(r^2=0.9194$, PL은 가슴지느러미 길이이며, X는 부화 후 표본시일). 전장에 대한 체고의 상관관계식은 BD=0.2397X-0.5735($r^2=0.9957$, BD는 체고이며, X는 전장)이었으며 전장에 대한 가슴지느러미 길이의 상관관계식은 PL=0.1929X-1.3767($r^2=0.9882$, PL은 가슴지느러미 길이이며, X는 전장)이었다. 체고에 대한 가슴지느러미 길이성장은 PL=0.8117BD-0.9718($r^2=0.9814$, PL은 가슴지느러미 길이이며, BD는 체고)이었다. 체중에 대한 체고는 $BD=-9.4734X^2+19.046X+1.3672(r^2=0.9041$, BD는 체고이며, X는 체중)로, 체중에 대한 가슴지느러미 길이는 $PL=-6.379X^2+14.023X+0.3774(r^2=0.9494$, PL은 가슴지느러미 길이이며, X는 체중)이었다. 본 연구결과의 Haddock 치어 초기성장 특성은 Haddock 치어 사육에 도움이 될 것이다.
The objective of this study was to examine the early growth of haddock, Melanogrammus aeglefinus larvae from a series of reared specimens for provide information to developmental biology and more information on the aspect of aquaculture in the larvae of this species. Larvae were reared in the laboratory and sampled periodically for developmental study until 67 days after hatching. An increase in total length of fish indicated continuous growth, described by the growth expression of the type $TL=3.5374e^{0.0536X}(r^2=0.8759$, where TL is total length and X is at days after hatching) and $BW=0.0002e^{0.1858X}(r^2=0.8671$, where BW is body weight and X is at days after hatching), respectively. Pattern of body depth and pectoral fin length are instantaneous growth which expression of the type $BD=0.3545e^{0.0778X},;r^2=0.9563$(where BD is body depth and X is at days after hatching) for body depth growth and the type $PL=0.0111e^{0.1591X},;r^2=0.9194$(where PL is pectoral fin length and X is at days after hatching) for pectoral fin length growth. The relationship of body depth and total length expressed as $BD=0.2397X-0.5735(r^2=0.9957$, where BD is body depth and X is total length), and pectoral fin length and total length is $PL=0.1929X-1.3767(r^2=0.9882$, where PL is pectoral fin length and X is total length) pectoral fin length against body depth simultaneously recorded for juvenile haddock(PL=0.8117BD-0.9718, $r^2=0.9814$, where PL is pectoral fin length and BD is body depth). Relationship of body depth and body weight was expressed the type of $BD=-9.4734X^2+19.046X+1.3672,;r^2=0.941$(where BD is body depth and X is body weight), and pectoral fin length and body weight expressed the type of $PL=6.379X^2+14.023X+0.3774,;r^2=0.9494$(where PL is pectoral fin length and X is body weight). From this point view, growth characteristics of juvenile haddock in this experiment may be useful to establish a successful culture technique for rearing larval haddock.
