한국산 작은대칭이 (Anodonta arcaeformis flavotincta)의 유생발생 중 유생(glochidium)을 숙주어류인 붕어(carassius auratus)에 감염시켜 유생의 피낭형성과정(부착부위, 부착후 탈락가지의 시기)을 알아보기 위해, 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 관찰한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 유생들은 30분내에 숙주어류의 니트러미, 구강 그리고 아가미에 부착되었다. 이 연구에서 유생이 부착된 숙주어류의 지느러미를 시간별로

A scanning electron microscopic study on the glochidial encystment and excystment during the development of Anodonta arcaeformis flavotincta on Carassius auratus, a common natural host fish, was carried out. The glochidia were attached to the fins, buccal cavity and gills of the host fish within 30 minutes. In this study, the fins of host fish infected with the glochidia were examined in a time series. The attachment rates of the glochidia on the pectoral fins, caudal fin and pelvic fins of the host fish were 30%, 22%, and 17%, respectively. The glochidia which attached to the fish became encysted within 27 hrs. The process of encystment progressed slowly. Ti took 24 to 27 hours in the formation of the primary cyst, and after 5 to 6 days, the larvae was covered completely with the epithelial cels of the host tissues. The process of detachment of juvenile clam was observed on the 8th day after host infection. Most of the juvenile clams have sloughed from the cyst of the host within 15 days. No significant size difference was observed in the glochidia and the juvenile which were found before attachment and after detachment from the cyst of the host fish.
