Growth Comparisons of two age groups of coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch, underyearling and age one, were made at Chungmu Experimental Fish Culture Station from December 17, 1988 to April 26, 1989. During the first 66 days of experimental period, the fish of underyearling group grew from 167.0 g to 633.1 g in average weight and the feed coefficient (FC) and daily growth rate (DGR) were 1.1 and $2.0\%$, respectively. In the same period, the fish of age one group grew from 396.0 g to 854.6 g in average weight and the FC and DGR were 1.1 and $2.0\%$, respectively. During the second 63 days, the fish of underyearling and age one group grew up to 1171.9 g and 1239.7 g respectively. FCs of these two groups were 1.5 and 2.6, respectively and DGRs were $1.0\%$ and $0.7\%$, respectively. Underyearling fish consumed more feed and performed better FC and DGR than age one fish. FC and DGR sharply decreased as the fish weight increased. Therefore under-yearling fish of this species seems better as seeds for seawater cage culture. For this purpose it is necessary to increase smolting rate in the underyearling group fish within a single season.

Orf virus (ORFV), a member of genus Parapoxvirus (family-Poxviridae), a causative agent of contagious ecthyma in sheep and goat leading to a condition commonly known as vesicular dermatitis. Recently, twelve goats from Iksan in Jeonbuk province were observed with clinical signs like necrotic vesicular lesions around the mucosa of mouth, nasal cavity, eye, ear, teats, abdomen and groin. Based on these clinical symptoms, contagious ecthyma infection was suspected. The skin scrapping was collected from lesions for isolation of DNA and subsequent PCR amplification of ORFV specific 235 bp region of B2L gene. All of the samples were found positive by PCR analysis. Sequencing and further phylogenetic analysis of the PCR product revealed 100% identity to Japan isolate of ORFV (Okinawa, GenBank accession number AB080769), and showed 99.6% of similarity to New Zealand strain (NZ-2, GenBank accession number U06671). It was concluded that ORFV strain detected in the present study is homologous to Japan isolate and New Zealand strain. The PCR test based on amplification of B2L gene is a highly useful tools for rapid and specific diagnosis of contagious ecthyma.

A woolen tapestry curtain, owned by the Seoul Museum of Craft Art, is composed of tabby by cotton-warp and wool-weft threads and its patterned part is shown as a tapestry; paint with pigment has been added to it. The chromaticity of this curtain was measured and the substances in the deep red color were confirmed as Hg by an analysis of the ingredients through X-ray fluorescence. This is presumed to be cinnabar or vermilion. Analyses were performed on a total of seven fabric samples, including the warp & weft of the fabric, its trimming, and its back fabric. As a result, the warp of the woolen tapestry curtain was determined to be a cotton fiber with a middle hole or lumen in the cross-section. Furthermore, an infrared peak likewise showed O-H and C-O binding. Wool fibers as wefts were identified with circular and oval cross-sections and IR peaks showed N-H/O-H stretching and amide(-CONH-). The animal hair samples used in the wool fiber are believed to have come from long-tailed goral or goats and the possibility of using easy-to-spin sapsal dog hair is also not to be overlooked. This was determined through a contrast analysis by the Cultural Heritage Administration to identify the animal species used in the tapestry.

This study was conducted to find out the changes of progesterone and estradiol-17$\beta$ levels in the serum of female Korean native goats during the reproductive stages such as the estrous cycle, pregnancy and periparturient period. Nine heads of female Korean native goats of 3 year old in average and weighing 35.7$\pm$1.4 kg were offered for the experiment. Blood samples were taken at 0, 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 13, 15, 18 and 19 days after onset of estrus, and 1, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 149 days of pregnancy, and -5, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2 and +5 days of periparturient period where minus figures denote the days before paturition. The progesterone, estradiol-17$\beta$ in the serum samples were assayed by radioimmunoassay methods. The results of this study are summarized as follow: 1. The progesterone levels during the estrous cycles reached a peak level of 0.98$\pm$0.60ng/ml at 13 days after onset of estrus and decreased thereafter and were lower than 0.09$\pm$0.02mg/ml on the first day of estrus. 2. The estradioe17$\beta$ levels during the estrous cycles showed a peak level of 15.97$\pm$1.72pg/ml at onest of estrus, and decreased (5.41$\pm$0.51pg/ml-9.09$\pm$1.82pg/ml) during luteal phase. 3. The progesterone levels during the gestation period increased from day 1 and peaked at 90 days after mating and then decreased until 149 days. The peak level was 6.27$\pm$0.23ng/ml at 90 days. 4. The estradiol-17$\beta$ levels during the gestation period showed gradual increase, which were 9.03$\pm$0.88, 32.96$\pm$2.85, 46.03$\pm$2.42, and 54.06$\pm$1.64pg/ml on 30, 60, 90 and 120 dyas after mating respectively. 5. The progesterone levels measured from 5 days before the parturition to 5 days after showed the highest level at the shart of measurement (4.46$\pm$0.31ng/ml) and decreased gradually and bottomed out at one day post-partum and thereafter (0.24$\pm$0.02-0.45$\pm$0.06ng/ml). 6. The estradiol-17$\beta$ levels measured during the same periparturient period as progesterone showed increase to reach the peak level at 1 day before parturition and decreased rapidly thereafter (-5 dyas 69.46$\pm$3.62, -2 days 107.07$\pm$1.91, -1 days 137.83$\pm$7.54, 0 days 50.06$\pm$6.71 and +1 to +5 days 3.21-4.72 pg/ml).

In the present study, we investigated devel-opmental ability and transgene expression of IVM/IVF derived porcine embryos following microinjection with SV40-LacZ. A total of 412 IVM/IVF derived embryos were used to examine developmental ability and transgene expression following DNA microinjection. After centrifugation, pronuclei were visible in 60.3% when examined between 18~21h after IVF. Development and transgene expression were assessed after 9 days in culture. The percentages of injected embryos reaching to the morula and blastocyst were significantly lower (P<0.05) than those of non-injected control embryos. However, the percentages of DNA microinjected embryos and non-injected embryos that developed to the blastocyst or hatched blastocyst stage in dual culture systems (NCSU23 and EMEM) were significantly higher (P<0.05) than those in NCSU23 medium alone. As the resuIt of X-gal staining, the proportion of positive embryos was 40~43% in morula and blastocyst stage embryos, however, mosaicism has been observed in the most putative transgenic morulae and blastocysts. In the PCR analysis, the percentages of embryos integrated gGH gene were 45.0 and 44.4% in morula and blastocyst stage, respectively. These results suggest that improved IVM /IVF system and culture condition increased the embryo viability and ex-pression of a microinjected transgene.
