Abstract

This study clarified biochemical overripeness characterization of ovulated eggs of Anguilla japonica and suggested a method maintained overripeness after ovulation for high hatching rates. In maturated Japanese eel eggs, the relationships between fertilization rate and hatching rate, and fertilization and survival rates were measured. DNA contents showed the significantly low 0.653 pg/ug protein in 20% downward hatching rate trial with decrease of hatching rate(P<0.05), whereas RNA/DNA ratio showed the significantly high 1.058 in 20% downward hatching rate trial(P<0.05). And activities of total alkaline protease and ACPase according to the hatching rate groups did not show the significant difference(P>0.05). The protein contents were assayed the significantly high 186.16 ug/mg protein in 20% downward hatching rate trial(P<0.05). However, the overripened eggs had lowed hatching rate, because of stimulate the overripening of normal maturated eggs due to the continuous supplement of protein (vitellogenin). We suggested that need to reduce supplement speed or interception of vitellogenin produced in live for prevent overripeness of maturated eggs after ovulation

본 연구는 인위적으로 배란시킨 뱀장어 Anguilla japonica 배란란의 과숙특징을 생화학적으로 밝히고, 과숙을 방지하기 위한 하나의 방법을 제시하였다. 사용된 뱀장어 성숙란의 수정률과 부화율, 부화 후 3, 10일 후 생존율과의 관계는 Y=0.7954X+32.448($R^2=0.8176$, P=6.35E-7), Y=1.0241X-26.401($R^2=0.8121$, P=5.95E-27) 및 Y=0.9314X-24.814($R^2=0.7619$, P=7.33E-14)였다. DNA 함량은 부화율의 감소와 함께 20% 이하의 부화율을 보이는 배란란에서 유의적으로 가장 낮은 0.653 pg/ug protein을 보였다(P<0.05). 그리고 이들의 비는 부화율이 20% 이하의 난에서 1.058로 유의적으로 가장 높은 비를 보였다(P<0.05). 또한 부화율에 따른 total alkaline protease와 ACPase 활성은 모든 부화율 범위에서 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다(P>0.05). 단백질 함량은 부화율 20% 이하 배란란에서 유의적으로 가장 높은 186.16 ug/mg eggs의 함량을 보였다(P<0.05). 따라서 뱀장어의 과숙란은 지속적인 단백질의 공급으로 정상란의 과숙화를 촉진하여 부화율이 저하된다. 결국 세포는 과숙으로 인해서 죽었기 때문에, 간에서 생성된 난황단백질의 공급을 차단하거나 공급속도를 늦추어서 복강 내 배란 후 과숙을 방지해야 할 것으로 판단된다.
