생리적 형질인 수온과 염분에 대한 내성을 양적 형질로 개발하기 위하여 은어의 정상 발생 2배체 (2N-cont),극체형 2배체 (meiotic-G2N), 난할형 2배체 (mitotic-G2N) 및 2종류의 clone (clone-11, clone-15)의 부화 자어를 대상으로 유전적 변이성을 조사했다. 수온은 19. 22.5, 25. 그리고 30.로 설정하였고 각 수온구에 0, 15 및 30의 염분구를 조합하여 12개의 실험구를 만들어 조사했다. 평균

In this study, genetic variation in the 5 strains of 2N-cont, meiotic-G2N, mitotic-G2N and two types of clones with different genetic backgrounds was investigated by developing their tolerance to water temperature and salinity, which is a physiological trait, into a quantitative trait. The temperature was set at 19, 22.5, 25 and 30, each of which was combined with 0, 15 and 30 of salinity respectively, making 12 groups in all. In the mean survival time (MST), samples with 15 of salinity showed the longest survival time at all temperatures. The 2N-cont had the longest 126.16 h followed by clone-11 and clone-15 surviving for 113.22 h and 91.05 h respectively. Gynogenetic diploids showed the shortest 87,32 h and 36.56 h. At 22.5 and 25, MST of each strain was significantly short, showing similar results to those of the groups at 19. The 2N-cont had the longest MST while clones had a longer MST than gynogenetic diploids. This could be due to gynogenesis which causes homozygosis among malignant harmful genes, leading to its appearance in populations and resulting in early death in individuals with such genes. On the other hand, MST of clones was longer than that of gynogenetic fish. This could be because the 1st gynogenetic generation, which is a parental population, has already had its malignant genes removed, while the clones of the 2nd gynogenetic generation have had their superior genes fixed as well as their tolerance and survival improved. When temperature was raised to 22.5 and 25, increase in variation was observed in gynogenetic diploids and decrease in clones in 15 of salinity. This shows that such a trait is genetic to a certain extent. Consequently, if this character is developed into a quantitative trait and applied to selective breeding, it could be a useful character to secure superior strains and individuals, and also it would be possible to improve populations genetically through selection.
