Notes: The fertilization mode, and spawning and egg-care behaviours of the sculpin Radulinopsis taranetzi were investigated in the laboratory. Embryonic development began only after the eggs came into contact with sea water. Females spawned c. 1000 eggs and covered them with sand using their pectoral and caudal fins. Unlike other cottids, the females guarded the egg masses after spawning. During the parental period, the supramaxillary lamina and mandibular lamina of females extended to form a disc-like structure, which was used to ‘suck’ water from near the surface of the egg mass. The frequency and duration of this ‘sucking’ behaviour increased gradually until hatching, which occurred after 23–26 days at 8° C. The oxygen consumption of the embryos was positively related to the ‘sucking’ activity. All females in this study spawned only once during the spawning season, in contrast with the paternal-care copulating cottids, which are multiple spawners.

Notes: The composite accompanied with a function of thermoelectric conversion has beenfabricated. It was a fiber metal laminate (FML) consisting of two aluminum alloy sheets of 0.5mmthickness and a central layer of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP). The central layer with athickness of 1mm included thermoelectric elements of Bi-Te based alloys between glass fibers. Themechanical properties of FML with and without the thermoelectric elements were evaluated by tensileand bending test. The thermomechanical properties were measured by a potentiometer for a modulewith heated and cooled sides, and plotted a potential as a function of difference in temperaturebetween both sides
