연구는 양질의 피조개 수정란 확보와 안정적 종묘생산을 위하여 피조개 모패의 먹이생물로 미세조류 3종 (Isochrysis galbana, Tetraselmis tetrathele, Phaeodactylum tricornutum) 을 단독 또는 혼합 공급하여 먹이생물에 따른 피조개 모패의 비만도, 생식소발달, 성숙유도율 및 생존율을 조사하였다. 사육 45일 경과 후 피조개 모패의 완숙기 출현율, 성숙유도율 및 생존율은 3종의 미세조류를 혼합 공급하거나 T. tetrathele를 단독공급한 실험구에서 가장 높았다.
Even though ark shell, Scapharca broughtonii is commercially important species, its artificial seed production is not yet fully developed. This study was carried out to understand the effect of three microalgal species on gonadal development and sex maturation of S. broughtonii in terms of broodstock management and food organism. Isochrysis galbana, Phaeodactylum tricornutum and Tetraselmis tetrathele were supplied to S. broughtonii broodstock in single or mixed. And condition index, gonadal development, sexual maturation and survival of the broodstock were analysed. After 45 rearing days, frequency of ripe stage of gonadal phases, rate of induced sexual maturation and survival of S. broughtonii broodstock fed mixed diet with 3 microalgal species or single diet of T. tetrathele were the highest.
