The Japanese medaka is designated as an endangered species because of its decreasing population, and conservation of the medaka is an urgent concern. In the present study, in order to obtain basic information for conservation of wild medaka, we observed the reproductive behavior of female medaka (Oryzias latipes, orange-red variety and wild fish) in experimental aquaria under various environmental conditions. Female medaka normally deposited eggs on aquatic plants or aquatic mosses which were solid with a soft surface in experimental aquaria. However, the fish did not deposit eggs but discarded eggs in aquaria provided with sand, floating aquatic plants, and no substrate, and in an aquarium lined with concrete. These results indicate that a suitable substrate is essential for successful egg deposition of medaka, and suggest that maintaining suitable vegetation in natural environments is important for conservation of wild medaka.

本邦の絶滅危惧種にも指定されているメダカを保全するためには,その生息環境だけでなく繁殖生態についても知見を得ることが重要である。本研究では屋外池で自然繁殖している野生メダカを対象に繁殖生態を調べた。メダカでは,雌が産卵後に卵をしばらく腹部に保持し,それらを基質に産み付ける。今回の観察で,野生下において「産み付け行動」の初の観察・記載に成功し,数種の基質を特定した。基質の特定および存在場所は,今後のメダカの保全において,繁殖場所の確保という点で重要な知見になると考えられた。

Gonadal development and serum profiles of sex steroids in reproductive KAJIKA, Cottus sp.SE (small egg type), were monitored over a 12-month period. The female reproductive cycle was divided into the following 5 periods based on oocyte development: recovery period (May to August), cortical alveoli formation period (September), vitellogenic period (October to December), reproductive period (January and February) and spent period (March and April). Based on ovarian histological observations, females may spawn 2 or 3 times in one reproductive period. Serum levels of estradiol-17β increased during the vitellogenic period, indicating regulation of the vitellogenetic progress. Serum 17, 20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one in females exhibited high levels only during the reproductive period, suggesting a role in inducing final oocyte maturation. The male reproductive cycle was divided into the following 5 periods based on testicular histological observations: resting period (June to August), spermatogonial proliferation period (September), spermatogenic period (October and November), reproductive period (December to February) and spent period (March to May). Parasperm formation, which is known in some cottidae species, was noted, occurring in the sperm ducts during the spermatogenic period, but only in the main testicular lobes during the reproductive period. Serum 11-ketotestosterone levels in males increase of continually during the spermatogenic period, suggesting a role regulation of spermatogenesis in this species.

The importance of olfaction in spawning of medaka Oryzias latipes was established for the first time by observation of spawning behavior by fish subjected to an olfactory blockage. Experimental fish were prepared by (1) covering the nostrils on both sides (bilateral treatment), thereby excluding all olfactory stimuli, and (2) covering nostrils on one side only (unilateral treatment), thereby giving partial exclusion. A control group comprised untreated (intact). Experiments conducted for both males (bilateral male-intact female, unilateral male-intact female and intact male-intact female) and females (bilateral female-intact male, unilateral female-intact male and intact female-intact male) resulted in no spawning by intact females paired with bilateral males, whereas spawning occurred in intact females paired with both unilateral and intact males. Spawning also occurred when intact males were paired with intact, unilateral or bilateral females, indicating that olfactory stimuli were necessary for males to complete spawning, but not so for females. Spawning acts exhibited from pairing started by bilateral males-intact female pairs included “following” (initial act of following female), “positioning” (lateral courtship display), and “quick circle” (turning in front of female), but they did not include “contact” (bodies in contact posteriorly prior to gamete release), “wrapping” (male embracing female using their dorsal and anal fins during gamete release). On the other hand, intact and unilateral males participated in all of the above spawning acts, indicating that olfactory stimuli are indispensable for behavior concerning emitting semen.

Construction of artificial river and lake banks changes the aquatic environment, and these changes are known to cause decreases of aquatic plants in shallow waters. We conducted experiments to examine the involvement of aquatic plants in spawning behavior of goldfish, Carassius auratus, and cruicuan carp, Carassius buergeri subsp.2. The spawning behavior was induced by injecting prostaglandin F2α into females. Pairs of male and female goldfish or crucian carp were placed in experimental tanks with or without aquatic plants made of acrylic yarn. Both goldfish and crucian carp spawned actively onto the aquatic plants whereas the behavior significantly decreased without the aquatic plants. The present experiments demonstrate that aquatic plants are essential as spawning substrates for performance of spawning behavior of these species. It is critical for conservation of fish species that use aquatic plants as spawning substrates to maintain aquatic plants on river and lake banks.

交尾は、肺呼吸、四足歩行と並んで、ヒトを含む脊椎動物が陸圏に進出する際の前適応である。交尾の進化過程を再現するため、近縁種に交尾種と非交尾種を含んだカジカ上科魚類をモデルとして、雄間の競争、特に精子競争の影響に焦点を当てて、実験的に調査した。行動形質の評価指標として繁殖成功度に注目した。その結果、射出精子量、交尾の順番が、繁殖成功度に影響し、先にたくさんの精子を雌に渡すという行為が交尾の進化動因であることが示唆された
