Abstract

Oxygen consumption of marine fishes according to different water temperatures, fish population densities and body weights was measured in the respiratory chamber for the following six species: the olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus, the tiger puffer Takifugu rubripes, the rockfish Sebastes schlegeli, the sea bass Lateolabrax Japonicus, the red seabream Pagrus major and the black seabream Acanthopagrus schlegeli. Also the lethal concentration of dissolved oxygen in them was determined. Oxygen consumption in each fish species increased as the water temperature increased. The relationship between the oxygen consumption rate $(Oc,\;ml/kg{\cdot}\;hr)$ and the water temperature (T,$^{\circ}C$) for each species appeared as the following equations demonstrate; olive flounder: Oc=34.0515T-339.5987 $(r^2=0.9730)$, tiger puffer: Oc=34.4941T-479.8732 $(r^2=0.9483),$ rockfish: Oc=44.7970T-634.2627 $(r^2=0.9718),$ sea bass: Oc=26.1488T-318.0633 $(r^2=0.9316),$ red seabream: Oc=61.1020T-722.8926 $(r^2= 0.9805),$ black seabream: Oc=75.1460T-947.9370 $(r^2=0.9392).$ The of gen consumption of fish with different population densities decreased as the number of fish increased. As the body weight of the olive flounder increased, the mass-specific oxygen consumption decreased. The relationship between oxygen consumption and body weight (W; g) was expressed as Oc=2532.0268W-0.6565 $(r^2=0.9229)$. The levels of lethal dissolved oxygen in the olive flounder, rockfish, tiger puffer and red seabream were 0.66, 0.79, 0.75 and 1.36 m1/1, respectively.

유용 해산어류에 대한 산소소비 경향을 파악하기 위하여 넙치 Paralichthys olivaceus, 자주복 Takifugu rubripes, 조피볼락 Sebastes schlegeli, 농어 Lateolabrax japonicus, 참돔 Pagrus major, 감성돔 Acanthopagrus schlegeli 등 6종의 추어를 주대상으로 수온별, 밀도별, 체중별 산소소비량및 치사산소량에 관한 실험을 실시하였다. 모든 어종에서 산소소비량 $(Oc,\;ml/kg\;\cdot\;hr)$은 수온$(T,\;^{\circ}C)$의 상승에 비례하여 증가하였으며, 그 경향은 다음과 같은 회귀직선식으로 표시되었다. 넙치= Oc=34.0515T-339.5987 $(r^2=0.9730)$, 자주복. Oc=34.4941T-479.8732 $(r^2=0.9483),$, 조피볼락: Oc=44.7970T-634.2627 $(r^2=0.9718),$, 농어: Oc=26.1488T-318.0633 $(r^2=0.9316),$, 참돔: Oc=61.1020T-722.8926 $(r^2= 0.9805),$, 감성돔: Oc=75.1460T-947.9370 $(r^2=0.9392).$. 어체의 수용밀도가 증가함에 따라 단위체중당 산소소비량은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 넙치는 체중(W, g) 증가에 파라 산소소비량이 감소함으로써 Oc=2532.0268W-0.6565 $(r^2=0.9229)$의 관계를 나타냈다. 넙치, 조피볼락, 자주복, 참돔의 치사산소량은 각각 0.66, 0.79, 0.75 및 1.36m1/1였다
