본 연구는 은어의 clone을 생산하여 생리적 형질에 대한 유전적 특성을 조사하고 또 clone의 유전율을 추정했다. 성숙한 완전 동형접합형 자성발생 2배체(난할형 2배체)에서 채란한 후 자성발생을 반복하여 4계통의 clone을 생산하였으며 부화 전부터 같은 수조에 혼합하여 사육하였다. 10개월간 사육한 후 사육수조의 수심을 낮추었을 때의 스트레스가 clone의 혈액성상과 유전율에 미치는 영향에 대해서 조사했다. 생산된 각 계통의 clone은 실험에 사

Four clonal lines of ayu, Plecoglossus altivelis, were produced through gynogenesis, mixed before hatching and reared communally. After 10 months, a randomly taken sample was subjected to a standardized shallow water stressor. Hematocrit, hemoglobin, red blood cells count (RBC) and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) were obtained from stressed and non-stressed fish. DNA fingerprinting was used to confirm the clonal nature of the organisms and to identified the clonal line to which each fish belonged. 1 observed significant differences between clona] lines mostly in the hematocrit and MCV measured under no-stress conditions. Such differences are suggested to represent mainly genetic variance, on account of the common environment provided to all the experimental groups. The stress response ratio was lower than expected, mainly due to some unexpectedly high non-stress values. Heritability values (h) were medium to high for the no-stress measurements (mean 0.238) and very low or zero for the stressed groups'traits (excepting one high value of 0.484). 1 conclude that the use of communally reared clonal lines represents a good tool for the characterization of the physiological traits, thus allowing for their utilization as genetic selection criteria.
