Morphological changes on digestive tract were observed using Flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus to elucidate the early developmental processes. Hatched larvae, (2.50±0.14 ㎜ in total length: TL) has not opened its mouth and anus. The digestive tract showed linear tubular form from mouth to anus extending along with yolk. On 7～8 days from hatching, the post-larvae, (5.05±0.40 ㎜ TL) has developed digestive tract and activated for feeding. The digestive tract expanded into dorsal side, joined to intestine, and the stomach began to develop. The digestive tract was divided into an anterior and posterior region, and began to differentiate. In the post-larvae (6.50±0.25 ㎜ TL) on 13～14 days from hatching, the digestive tract twisted one cycle in the anterior region, the area was expanded. The digestive tract was completely differentiated into oesophagus, anterior intestine, middle intestine, posterior intestine and arranges fundamental structure. In the embryo (12.40±0.55 ㎜ TL) after 30 days from hatching, stomach became large and could be distinguished from cardia and pyloric parts apparently. The digestive tract developed similar with that of adult flounder showing clear division of stomach, anterior intestine, middle intestine, posterior intestine and rectum. In the embryo (16.15±0.85 ㎜ TL) after 40 days from hatching, esophagus, pyloric part, anterior intestine, middle intestine, and rectum have largely expanded, and thus the morphological features are somewhot different with those of post-larvae flounder.
