본 연구는 수온과 염분농도의 변화에 따른 북방전복의 생존, 탈락 및 발의 구조적 변화를 이해하고자 하였다. 노출조건은 대조구 ($20^{circ}C/33.5$ psu), 고수온 4조건 (23, 26, 29, $32^{circ}C$), 저수온 4조건 (3, 6, 9, $12^{circ}C$), 염분농도 6조건 (33.5, 26.8, 20.1, 13.4, 6.7, 3.3 psu) 이었다. 실험기간은 7일이었다. 대조구와 $12^{circ}C$ 및 $23^{circ}C/33.5$ psu 조건에 7일간 노출된 북방전복의 생존율과 탈락률은 각각 100%와 0%였다. 다양한 수온 및 염분농도 조건에 노출된 북방전복의 사망률과 탈락률은 농도의존적 이었다. 북방전복 발의 상피층과 근육층의 조직학적 변화는 수온의 변화 보다 염분농도의 감소 조건에서 더욱 뚜렷하였다.
This study investigated survival, falling and structural changes of foot in Haliotis discus hannai with various water temperature and salinity. Experimental conditions were composed of control with $20^{circ}C/33.5$ psu, higher temperature group with 23, 26, 29 and $32^{circ}C$, lower temperature group with 3, 6, 9 and $12^{circ}C$, and different salinities group with 33.5, 26.8, 20.1, 13.4, 6.7 and 3.3 psu. Experimental period was 7 days. Survival and falling rate of the abalone exposed to 7 days at control and experimental condition of $12^{circ}C$ and $23^{circ}C/33.5$ psu were 100% and 0%, respectively. Mortality and falling rate of the abalone exposed to the different temperature and salinity were dose dependent by experimental condition. Histopathological changes in epithelial and muscular layer of foot showed more obvious with experimental condition of salinity decrease than different temperature condition.
