Abstract

전복은 전복속(Haliotis)에 속하며 전 세계적으로 식품산업에서 중요한 복족류 연체동물이다. 우리나라에는 6개종; 북방전복(Haliotis discus hannai), 둥근전복(Haliotis discus discus), 왕전복(Haliotis madaka), 말전복(Haliotis gigantea), 오분자기(Haliotis diversicolor diversicolor), 마대오분자기(Haliotis diversicolor supertexta)가 보고되어 있다. 이 연구에서는 우리나라 해역에 서식하는 중ㆍ대형 전복과 4종인 북방전복, 둥근전복, 왕전복, 말전복의 유전학적 유연관계를 분석하기 위하여 미토콘드리아의 cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) 유전자와 Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) 분석법을 실시 하였다. 본 연구의 결과 COI 유전자 분석과 RAPD 분석을 활용하면 4종의 전복 중 북방전복, 둥근전복, 왕전복을 한 그룹으로 나머지 한 그룹을 말전복으로 구분하는 종 분류는 명확히 구분할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 전복 교잡육종을 이용한 수출용 전복 신종자 개발에 있어 주요 대상종인 전복과 4종에 대한 유전적 근연 관계를 규정함으로써 향후 교잡육종 연구의 기초 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. Abalones are gastropod mollusks belonging to the genus Haliotis. Pacific abalones are regarded as a very important marine gastropod mollusk in Korea, Japan, China, and also in food industries around the world. In Korea, 6 species of abalone have been reported to occur along the coasts: Haliotis discus hannai, Haliotis discus discus, Haliotis madaka, Haliotis gigantea, Haliotis diversicolor supertexta, and Haliotis diversicolor diversicolor. This study was performed to discriminate the genetic variances by the partial sequences of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) genes and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis against four species of Pacific abalone (H. discus hannai, H. discus, H. madaka, H. gigantea). COI gene is reasonably well conserved and has been sequenced in various invertebrate taxa. The RAPD analysis technique is a relatively simple and low cost method that allows differentiation of taxa without the need to know their genomes. In this study, we investigated the genetic diversity, phylogenetic relationships within each species. The COI and RAPD analysis were able to distinguish between H. gigantea and the other three species. However, these analysis methods were inadequate to distinguish between H. discus and H. madaka. These results are believed to be able to provide a basis data for future hybrid breeding research by defining the genetically closely related four species of abalone, which is to develop new hybrid abalone for export using hybrid breeding.
