국내 해안에는 양식업에서 부산물로 다량 발생되는 굴, 홍합, 대합 등의 패각들이 해안에 야적되어 연안어장의 오염, 공유수면 관리상의 지장, 자연경관의 훼손 및 보건 위생상의 문제 등으로 환경오염을 초래하고 있다(정종현 등, 1998). 현재 폐 패각의 총발생량은 355,000톤 정도이며, 이 중 종묘채묘용으로 재사용되는 양을 제외하면, 토지개량제로서의 이용 등을 포함한 재활용율은 약 30%정도로 낮은 실정이다. (굴수협전국조합, 1999). 더구나 처리비용이 비싸기 때문에 발생되는 폐 패각은 대부분 방치되고 있는 실정이다. (중략)

난소기생충, Marteilioides chungmuensis는 참굴, Crassostrea gigas의 난소 내에 택적으로 기생하여, 참굴의 재생산에 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다(박 등, 1999). 특히, 1990년대에 들어 우리 나라 남해안의 굴양식장에서 이 기생충의 출현율이 급격히 증가함에 따라, 굴 종묘의 안정적 확보에 큰 차질을 빚고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 난소기생충(농림부, 1997)의 출현 특성과 병원성을 밝혀, 난소기 생충이 참굴의 재생산 외에 굴의 양식생태에 미치는 영향을 밝히고자 실시하였다. (중략)

본 연구의 대상해역은 여수반도 남단에 위치한 가막만은 굴을 비롯한 패류양식 생산활동에 기여하는 자연환경의 실질적인 가치와 인간경제 시스템에 대한 EMERGY 분석법으로 평가하고자 한다. 이를 기초로 넙치생산의 지속적인 발전방향을 제시하고자 했다. 2004년 통계를 기준으로 가막만 양식에 유입되는 총 EMERGY의 양은 33.42E+19 sej/yr이고, 이 중 자연환경으로부터 영속성 에너지는 2.95E+20 sej/yr 이며, 주 경제로부터 유입되는 비영속성 에너지는 3.92E+19 sej/yr이다. 자연환경으로부터의 유입이 전체 에너지원의 88%이고, 주 경제로부터의 유입은 12%로서 환경자원에 대한 의존도가 높은 1차 산업의 구조적 특징을 나타내고 있다. Net EMERTY yield ratio는 8.52으로 이는 주 경제로부터 투입된 에너지(비영속성 에너지)에 대해 8배 만큼 수산물을 얻을 수 있는 자원으로서의 가치를 가진다. EMERGY Investment Ratio 0.13은 주 경제로부터 유입된 에너지의 약 7배에 해당하는 에너지를 자연환경에서 얻을 수 있음을 의미한다. EMERGY량이 모두 현재의 EMERGY 생산비대로 생산이 된다는 가정하면 가막만의 패류(굴) 생산량은 환경수용량의 50%정도에도 못 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Relationship between population group properties and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) content of the Pacific oyster had been carried out at the Bukman oyster farm near Tongyeong based on the regular monthly sampling from November 1994 through April 1996. DHA content in lipids was least abundant in June and most abundant in November. Minimum DHA content close to 'zero' in lune suggests that much of DHA are being used for maturing and discharging of eggs and sperms, in consideration of the fact that lure is the spawning periods of the oyster. The corelationships among DHA content, mortality, and growth coefficient, have not been recognized. The approximate positive relations have been acknowledged between DHA content and the individual density in times of harvest, and also the individual weight. But it seems that the relaltions between DHA content and the individual weight are not directly related, rather it seems that it is the result from the population density effects caused by the relations between DHA and the number of individuls. But the meaning of the above mentioned relations can not be clearly defined yet.

Long line suspended culture of oysters has been started commercially in Hansan-Koje Bay since 1969. However, its Annual production has been decreased and culturing periods extended in recent years. So, we investigated environmental parameters and food organisms to identity the causes of poor fatness of oysters in Hansan-Koje Bay from February to November, 1994. As the result, the Water quality of Hansan-Koje Bay was found to be good for culture. For example, the mean concentration of COD was $1.35mg/\ell$, phosphate phosphorus was $0.30{\mu}g-at/\ell$ and dissolved inorganic nitrogen was $4.68{\mu}g-at/\ell$. However, the Hwado island and the inner part of the Hansan-Koje Bay were found to be eutrophicated due to various contaminants transported by land-based activities. But in the central pan of the Hansan-Koje Bay where the oyster farms Have been developed densely, the level of nutrient concentration was very low. During the study period, the dominant species of phytoplankton was Chaetoceros spp. with the percentage of $72.6\%\~87.8\%$ and the mean values of Chlorophyll-a concentration and phytoplankton standing crops were $2.05mg/m^3\;and\;188ind./m\ell$, respectively. The distribution of these parameters also showed similar trends those of nutrients. Especially, chlorophyll-a contents was very low with the concentration of below $0.5mg/m^3$ at central part of the Bay, Juklimpo. The fatness of oysters and the eutrophic index in this area were $18.1\%$ and 0.54, respectively. These values were lower than those of other culturing farms in the southern coastal areas in Korea. Therefore, we estimated that the insufficient food supply due to the low level of nutritional status was the major factors affecting the poor fatness of the Pacific oysters in Hansan-Koje Bay.

Hardened seed oysters which inhabit the Hansan Bay of Korea and Hiroshima Bay of Japan were cultured at the oyster farm of Nino island near Hiroshima from June, 1972. to June, 1973. The present experiment investigated monthly increment of shell height, shell length, meat weight, moisture, fatness and gonad development of the seed oysters. Environmental factors were also checked to know ecology of the oysters. The oyster farm of Nino island near Hiroshima city showed high water temperautre and low salinity com-paring with the oyster farm of Hansan Bay. Korea. Shell height and shell ten求h of the hardened seed oyster of Hansan Bay grew faster than those of Hiroshima Bay, especially in oyster meat weight. Histological observation on gonads showed little difference in developmental process between the two localities from June through December, 1972, whereas the hardened seed oyster from Hansan Bay has grown rapidly in the development of gonad after February, 1973. It can be concluded that in the viewpoint of seed oysters productivity the hardened seed oyster from Hansan Bay is more effective than that of Hiroshima Bay comparing in seed growth, fatness and developmental process of gonad.

Shell of oyster has a function of shelter from predator as well as growth potential. We investigated the physicochemical characteristics of oyster shells from three difference oyster farms. The shells from Wando waters characterized high stability of nanostructure, ticker nacreous layer, high thermal decomposition temperature and low content of sulphur as well. These results represent that Wando coast is pristine water for oyster farming.

Partial mitochondrial 16S rDNA and COI gene were amplified using PCR and sequenced for four species of oysters in Korea. Phylogenetic relationships among them were inferred from their aligned sequences by neighbor-joining method. The sequence comparison data of two mitochondrial genes showed that the genetic distinction between two oyster genera (Crassostreo and Ostrea) was obvious. Phylogenetic analysis based on the nucleotide sequences and A+T percentage of two genes indicates that C. gigas and C. nippona strongly formed a sister group and then C. ariakensis was clustered with the clade although that based on amino acid sequences of COI gene by neighbor-joining method represented different phylogenetic tree.

Oceanographic conditions of the coastal water around Chungmu, one of the most important oyster farming areas in Korea, were studied from May to November in 1974 to find out the environmental influence to oyster farming. Six localities, Goseong Bay, Jaran Bay, off Saryangdo, Hansilpo, Tong-yeong Bay and Juklimpo were selected for monthly oceanographic observation and biological sampling. Flood current running westward brings saline water from the south-east and ebb current brings the low salinity water of Jinju Bay into this area. The waters in Juklimpo, Hansilpo and Tong-yeong Bay are slightly cooler and more saline than the waters in Goseong Bay, Jaran Bay and off Saryangdo. The amount of dissolved oxygen is lowest in September and Hansilpo has the least oxygen during summer. Silicate content is lower in waters of Tong-yeong Bay, Juklimpo and off Saryangdo than those of Goseong Bay, Hansilpo and Jaran Bay. Suspended matter in this area ranges from 7.4 to 16.6 mg/l and scarce in Jaran Bay, Juklimpo and off Saryangdo. Chlorophyll a shows large seasonal variation and local fluctuation. Composition of phyto-plankton reveals the difference between the waters of Goseong Bay, Jaran Bay and off Saryangdo and the waters of Hansilpo, Tong-yeong Bay and Juklimpo. The growth of oyster was good in Juklimpo, Tong-yeong Bay and Goseong Bay and worst in Hansilpo. The highest mortality was observed $82\%$ in the waters off Saryangdo.

As an early warning system to reduce the damage of aquacultured mollusks due to low salinity water, we investigated the possibility of a biomonitoring system measuring the shell valve movement (SVM) of Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) by using the Hall element sensor. In high salinity water of 27 psu, SVMs of Pacific oyster showed spikes which mean a relatively fast closing condition after opened condition of average 10-15 mm, and then the SVM showed back to opening condition slower than closing speed. In water salinity of 20-27 psu, the SVMs were similar to that of 27 psu. However, below 17 psu, it showed abnormal valve movements such as spending more time for shell closure. In 10 psu, we could not detected SVMs due to closed condition during experiment periods. Thus, if we quickly detect abnormal environmental variations like low salinity using bio-monitoring of SVM, it may be contribute to increased productivity by dramatically reducing damages in aquaculture.
