Abstract
In Korea, studies on a Nematode, Anguillicola crassa parasitic in the air bladder of eel are not yet reported. This reason led the author to study the parasitic species, state and life history of the A. crassa parasitized in the air bladder of eel in order to take effective control measures against its damage. The size of fully developed eggs was 80 to $92(86.7){\times}62$ to $71(67.4)\;{\mu}m$, larva was 210 to $240(225){\times}18$ to $23(20.6)\;{\mu}m$. The intermediate host of A. crassa was Thermocyclops hyalinus, it was capable for parasitizing the eel after 4 days of invasion and then the size of larva was 360 to $420(390){\times}28$ to $35(31)\;{\mu}m$. Fifty days after eel had ingested the Thermocyclops hyalinus infected with larva of A. crassa, the larvae matured into adult worms in the air bladder of eel. The size of detected adult worms was 7.3 to $31.0(16.5){\times}0.5$ to 2.2(1.2) mm, 4.9 to $13.3(8.3){\times}0.3$ to 0.9(0.4) mm. Investigating the morphology of the worms, they were identified as A. crassa. Monthly the parasitic rate of the worms in the eel was high in June, September and December, but low in January to March. After the investigation on the significance between non-parasitic fish and parasitic fish, it was not significant, therefore it can be considered that there is no effect of infection in the growth of eel. Any abnormality of eels air bladder tissue was not seen by the infection of A. crassa. At 25.0 to $26.7^{\circ}C$ of water temperature the death time of Thermocyclops hyalinus by masoten treatment was 14 hours in 0.5 ppm, 20 hours in 0.4 ppm, 22 hours in 0.3 ppm, 30 hours in 0.2 ppm and 42 hours in 0.1 ppm.
지금까지 조사보고(調査報告)된 바 없는 한국산(韓國産) 양식(養殖) 뱀장어의 부레에 기생(寄生)한 선충에 의(依)한 피해여부(被害與否)와 예방대책(豫防對策)을 수립할 목적(目的)으로 기생(寄生)한 선충의 종(種)과 기생율(寄生率), 병해성(病害性) 그리고 생활사(生活史)를 조사(調査)하였다. 1. 성숙(成熟)한 충란의 크기는 $80{\sim}92(86.7){\times}62}\sim}71(67.4){\mu}m$였고, 자충의 크기는 $210{\sim}240(225){\times}18{\sim}23(20.6){\mu}m$였다. 2. 본충의 중간숙주(中間宿主)는 Thermocyclops hyalinus이며, 이것의 복강(腹腔)에 침입(侵入)한 유충은 4일후(日後)에 감염력(感染力)을 가졌고 이때의 유충 크기는 $360{\sim}420(390){\times}28{\sim}35(31)\;{\mu}m$였다. 3. 감염력(感染力)을 갖는 Thermocyclops hyalinus를 뱀장어가 섭취(攝取)한 뒤 50일(日) 경과(經過)되어 뱀장어 부레내에서 성충으로 발육(發育)되었다. 4. 검출(檢出)된 성충의 크기는 female$7.3{\sim}31.0(16.5){\times}0.5{\sim}2.2(1.2)mm$, male$4.9{\sim}13.3(8.3){\times}0.3{\sim}0.9(0.4)mm$로서 내외부(內外部) 형웅(形熊)를 비교(比較)한 바 Anguillicola crassa로 동정(同定)하였다. 5. 뱀장어에서의 월별기생율(月別奇生率)은 6, 9, 12월(月)에 높았고, 1~3월(月)에 비교적(比較的) 낮았다. 6. 감염(感染)되지 않은 정상어(正常魚)와 감염어(感染魚)의 비만도(肥滿度)를 월별(月別), 체장별(體長別)로 그 유의성(有意性)을 검정(檢定)한 결과(結果) 유의성(有意性)을 인정(認定)할 수 없었으며 본충 감염(感染)으로 인(因)한 뱀장어 성장(成長)에는 영향(影響)이 없는 것 같았다. 7. 본충의 기생(寄生)에 의한 뱀장어 부레조직(組織)의 이상(異狀)은 보이지 않았다. 8. 수온(水溫) $25.0{\sim}26.7^{\circ}C$ 때 masoten을 처리(處理)한 농도별(濃度別) Thermocyclops hyalonus의 사망시간(死亡時間)은 0.5ppm 14시간(時間), 0.4ppm 20시간(時間), 0.3ppm 22시간(時間), 0.2ppm 30시간(時間), 0.1ppm 42시간(時間)이었다.
