This study was carried out to clarify the larvae and juveniles of egg development and autonomous development of Hemibarbus longirostris from Korea, and to obtain basic data for species conservation and seed production. The shape of the egg was circular and sticky. The average size of the eggs was 2.01 mm (n=10). At 185 hours after fertilization, more than 50% of the total embryos were hatched. The newly hatched larvae had an average total length of 8.10 mm (n=5) and had egg yolk in the abdomen. At 3 days after hatching, the larvae absorbed all egg yolk was average total length 8.64 mm. On the 6 days after hatching, the caudal tip of the notochord started to curve upwards was average total length 10.9 mm. At 70 days after hatching, the average total length 37.9 mm. The number of fins was i 8-10 in dorsal fin, iii 7 in the anal fin, and ii 5 in the ventral fin.

Cytogenetic characteristics of three Hemibarbus species (H. labeo, H. longirostris and H. mylodon) were analyzed based on erythrocyte measurement, flow cytometric estimation of cellular DNA content, and karyological analysis. Average nuclear volumes for H. labeo, H. longirostris and H. mylodon were 22.5, 21.7 and $26.0\;{\mu}m^3$, respectively. The estimated genome sizes of those three species were not significantly different from one another, being recorded as 2.51, 2.33 and 2.35 pg/cell for H. labeo, H. longirostris and H. mylodon, respectively. Modal chromosome numbers of the three species were the same as 2n = 50. However, their karyotypes and fundamental numbers (FN) were different among species; 16M+16SM+18T/A (FN = 82) for H. labeo, 18M+16SM+16T/A (FN = 84) for H. longirostris and 18M+24SM+8T/A (FN = 92) for H. mylodon.

This study suggests basic data for taxonomic research among similar species by observing osteological development of larvae of Hemibarbus longirostris. Newly hatched yolk-sac larvae were 8.10±0.02 mm (n=5) in mean total length, and frontal, parasphenoid, and basioccipital in the cranium were ossified. On the 6 days after hatching, flexion-larvae were 10.9±0.26 mm (n=5) in mean total length, hyomandibular, sympletic, and ectopterygoid in the cranium were ossified. On the 12 days after hatching, post-larvae were 12.2±0.55 mm (n=5) in mean total length, interopercle in operculum region and postclavicle in shoulder girdle bone were ossified. On the 25 days after hatching, post-larvae were 16.1±0.27 mm (n=5) in mean total length, epihyal and interhyal in hyoid arch, two epural in caudal skeleton, interneural processes, and interhaemal processes were ossified. On the 40 days after hatching, juvenile were 27.9±3.74 mm (n=5) in mean total length, all skeletal development completed with hypural bone in the caudal skeleton region fused in three forms (1, 2+3, 4+5).

A 10-week feeding trial with four dietary protein levels (22%, 32%, 42% and 52%) and two dietary lipid levels (8% and 17%) was conducted to investigate the optimum dietary protein and lipid levels for growth of long-nosed barbel fingerlings. Survival rate of fish was not affected by either the dietary protein or the dietary lipid level. Weight gain and feed efficiency were affected by the dietary protein level (P<0.01), but not by the lipid level, and increased with the dietary protein level at the both lipid levels. Weight gain and feed efficiency of fish fed the 52% protein diets with 8-17% dietary lipids were not significantly different from those of fish fed the 42% protein diets with 8-17% dietary lipids and 32% protein diet with 17% dietary lipid. Daily feed intake of fish was not affected by either dietary protein or dietary lipid level. Protein efficiency ratio and protein retention rate of fish fed the 32% protein diet with 17% dietary lipid were significantly higher than those of fish fed the 52% protein diets with 8-17% dietary lipids. Moisture content of fish fed the diets containing 8% lipid were higher than those of fish fed the diets containing 17% dietary lipid at each protein level. Crude lipid content of fish fed the diets containing 17% dietary lipid were higher than that of fish the fed the diet containing 8% dietary lipid at each protein level. The results of this study indicated that 32% protein and 17% lipid could be the optimum dietary level for growth of juvenile long-nosed barbel.

The dynamic of fish community was investigated in the Wonju stream from March 1998 to February 1999. The collected species during the surveyed period were 24 species belonging to eight families. Eight species (33%) of them were endemic species of Korea. According to relative abundance in the studied areas, Moroco oxycephalus (30.7%), Zacco platypus (29.6%), Carassius auratus (10%), Pseudogobio esocinus (9.4%) and Rhinogobius brunneus (3.6%) dominated. Hemibarbus longirostris, Pungtungia herzi, Squalidus japonicus coreanus, Zacco temmincki, Cobitis rotundicaudata, Silurus asotus, Silurus microdorsalis and Micropterus salmoides were rare to the areas, which occupied less than 0.1% in relative abundance. Dominant species was M. oxycephalus (Kumda-ri, Kwanseol-dong, Hanggu-dong, heongyang-ri), Z. platypus (Gaeun-dong) and C. auratus (Jusan-ri). It was revealed by the analysis of community that St. 3 was the most diverse among all study stations. Coreoleuciscus splendidus and Coreopera herzi have been assumed vanished in the Wonju stream. The species occurring in suddenly decreasing trend were Microphysogobio yaluensis, Liobagrus andersoni, Cottus poecilopus and R. brunneus. The species occurring in representative increasing trend were Cyprinus carpio, C. auratus, P. esocinus, M. oxycephalus, and Z. platypus.

The taxonomy of gudgeons of the subfamily Gobioninae in Korea is reviewed and keys to supraspecific taxa (subfamilies and genera) of the subfamily Gobioninae are provided, as well as the synonyms and distribution of the species or subspecies. Abbottina springeri, poorly known in Korea is redescribed with the extention of its known morphological characters and geographical distribution. Squalidus sp. occurring rivers of the Yongdokoship, the Hyongsan, and the Hoeya in the Gyongsangbugdo and in the Gyongsangnamdo differs from three previously described species from Korea in the numbers and structure of lateral line scales, color patterns on the body sides, and eye diameter etc. The genus name of Gonoprcktopterus mylodon should be transferred from Gonoproktopterus to Hemibarbus, because the species is more similar to Hemibarbus longirostris or Belligobio eristrigma than to Gonoproktopterus, an Indian genus of Barbinae. The korean gudgeons of the subfamily Gobioninae are grouped five possible phyletic series, as follow ; Hemibarbus, Pseudorasbora, Sarcocheilichthys, Gnathopogon, and Pseudogobio group. The genus Gobiobotia is not placed in the subfamily Gobioninae but in the subfamily Gobiobotinae in relation to 3 pairs of mental barbels and some osteological characters.
