전통적인 고급 의류로서 견이 사용되기 시작한 이래, 섬유의 여왕으로서 실크는 지속적인 사랑을 받아왔다. 그러나 최근 실크에 가까운 합성섬유가 만들어져 견섬유의 위치를 위협하고 있는 현실이다. 이에 섬유재료로서 실크가 갖는 경쟁력은 어려운 위치에 처하게 되었고, 보다 경쟁력을 높이기 위해서는 실크제품의 제조공정에서 필연적으로 발생하는 부산물의 활용에 관심이 고조되기에 이르렀다. 부산물의 활용 분야로서는 화장용품, 의료용, 식품용, 산업용 등으로 그 응용분야가 광범위하게 확대되었고 지금도 속속 새로운 분야에의 응용이 시도되고 있다. 앞으로의 연구에서 견의 기능성 발현의 기구가 보다 자세히 규명된다면 실크분야에서 완전히 새로운 장이 열릴 것으로 기대된다. 그렇게 된다면 지금의 부산물 이용만으로는 수요를 감당할 수 없을지도 모를 것이다. 그때에는 직접 누에의 체내에서 견을 채취하게 될 것이다. 그렇게 된다면 과거의 풍요로운 뽕나무 밭도 되살아 나고 잠사 견업의 활성화에도 연관된다.

1. 잠업은 식물적 동물적 가공적부문이 결합 혼합된 산업이므로 유통단계 및 유통기능이 다변족이며 타산업과 현격하게 다름. 2. 일반적 농산물의 경우도 그러하지만 잠견은 6월의 춘잠과 8월의 하추잠시기의 집중적으로 출회되므로서 상품의 수급탄력성은 거의 없고 따라서 정부의 수집조작이 요망됨 3. 잠견의 거래제도는 일정시의 특약공동판매제와 대동소이한 것으로 유통기능의 경직비를 그대로 존속하고 있음. 즉 잠견공급전량이 농협의 잠사공판매에서 공판되고 도지사가 제사공장별구견지역을 정하는 바에 따라 제사공장이 인수함. 4 유통마진은 타 상품과 같이 시장경제적거래가 성립되어 있지 않기 때문에 전혀 나타나지 않는 것 같지만 사실에 있어서는 검사제도소송심의 과정에서 상당한 마진이 존재함. 5 일시에 잠견이 공결됨으로 해서 검사제도합리화 〈기계검사〉, 건견장설치 등 사회간점자본시설 이 크게 요청됨.

The aim of this study is to develop indoor-rearing methods of the diving beetles. In nature, both the adult diving beetle and its larvae are voracious aquatic predators. The larvae beetles hunt relatively bigger size of tadpoles and small fish for food source. However, due to difficulties of the food supplement for rearing diving beetles at indoor-condition further motivated us to develop new artificial food. Three separate experiments were performed. In the first experiment, adult beetles were provided with one of the several food choice treatments to self-compose their preferred foods that are affordable on the market at lower price. The second experiment was also to develop artificial diet that is possible for rearing larvae beetle under indoor condition. The larvae beetles were restricted to raw squid, artificial food source and mosquito larvae as a control at the first stadium and small fish and raw squid during second to third stadium duration. According to our result, adult beetles selected a food that made of boiled squid and dead small fish while, the young larvae consumed small fish, mosquito larvae and raw squid. Although, the larval food restriction on law squid caused noticeable decrease in survival, the result still supported the possible survival rate of keeping larvae at indoor condition. Moreover, pupation rate experiments, in which groups of larvae were placed at different mats, natural soil and fermented sawdust, showed that 80% of diving beetles pupated on the sawdust. This result indicates that female beetle preferentially selected to oviposit along soft and moist area.

Insect resources have been widely recognized that seven millions of insects exhibit it own biological activity by whole body or its metabolic intermediates. In order to investigate antioxidant activity and compare the cyclooxygenase-2 promoter activity from insect extract, we tested in vitro antioxidant assays and cyclooxygenase-2 promoter assay in Coccinella septempunctata Linne and Harmonia axyridis extracts have the anti-oxidant and cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition activities, we examined the anti-oxidant assays including DPPH, FRAP and linoleic acid, ana inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 expression using a cyclooxygenase-2 promoter-inserted stable cell line. We found that Harmonia axyridis Pallas extract had potentials to anti-oxidant activity and inhibited about 25% of cyclooxygenase-2 transcription activity. These findings indicate that Coccinella septempunctata Linne and Harmonia axyridis Pallas extracts could be an useful insect resource for agrobiotechnological purposes.

Insect industry has been focused as production of food, animal feed, pollinator and for environmental remediation. Hermetia illicens, called as black soldier fly (BSF) is famous as nutritive feed. In this study, to evaluate the antithrombotic activities of BSF, the larvae (instar 2~6), pupae, residue after adult emergence [RAAE] and adult of Hermetia illicens [black soldier fly, BSF] were collected and their ethanol extracts were prepared. Growth of BSF larvae was very rapid and the weight of larvae was increased to 25-folds during 10 days cultivation. The ethanol extraction ratios showed from 1.0% (pupae) to 18.5%(adults). The highest total polyphenol, total flavonoid, and total sugar contents were observed in RAEE (17.2 mg/g), pupae (3.4 mg/g), and instar 6 (37.6 mg/g), suggesting that metabolic changes occur during the life cycle of the BSF. Anti-coagulation assay showed that extracts of RAEE, instar 6 and pupa of BSF significantly inhibited thrombin, prothrombin, and blood coagulation factors. Furthermore, the extracts of RAEE, instar 3 and adult of BSF showed a strong platelet aggregation inhibitory activity. Our results suggest that pupae and RAEE of BSF have potential as antithrombotic agents. This is the first study to provide evidence of the antithrombotic activity of the BSF and bioactivity alterations during its life cycle.

To establish the systematic biological control system for various insect pests in strawberry under plastic houses, we were investigated the biological traits of lesser strawberry aphid, Chaetosiphon minus (Forbes), as a target pest. The lesser strawberry aphid is adapted to low temperatures while examining the availability of and selecting useful natural enemies. The development, survivorship and reproduction of lesser strawberry aphid were evaluated at four constant temperatures (10, 15, 20, and 25℃). The developmental periods of the nymphal stages ranged from 41.7 d at 10℃ to 9.8 d at 25℃. The developmental threshold temperature and degree day of nymphal stages are 5.5℃ and 185 DD. The reproduction rate (R₀) was higher at 20℃ (30.16) than at 25℃ (22.38). The 50 % survival rate and maximum longevity of adult females were 31 d and 59 d at 20℃, and 25 d and 36 d at 25℃, respectively. The average progeny per female was 35 at 20℃, and 26 at 25℃. We confirmed that compared to other strawberry aphids under plastic houses, the lesser strawberry aphid is more adapted to lower temperatures. It is, therefore, necessary to commercialize natural enemies such as syrphid flies with high activity at low temperatures.

This study investigated the developmental and ovipositional characteristics of Protaetia brevitarsis individuals that were fed with fermented mulberry sawdust. The developmental periods of larvae were 164.0, 73.3, and 64.8 days at 25, 28, and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively. The maximum larval weight was 2.94 g at $25^{\circ}C$, and the weight of larvae decreased as temperature increased. The average weight of female adults were 0.94, 0.51, and 0.54 g at 25, 28, and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively. The weight of male adults was higher than that of females. The addition of 10% or 30% wheat bran to the fermented mulberry sawdust increased larval weight. It was possible to sell larvae from 75 days after mass rearing, when the cumulative rate of larvae that were heavier than 2.5 g was approximately 75%. The average number of eggs per female was 83.2 at $25^{\circ}C$, and this was the highest in the 5th week. Most of the eggs (73%) were oviposited between 3 and 8 weeks after adults emergence.

The larva of the white-spotted flower chafer, Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis (Coleoptera: Cetoniidae), is known to have important medicinal properties, such as anti-cancer activity. However, the consumer market for the larvae is depressed because of its high production cost which needs to be reduced. This study was carried out to evaluate two spent mushroom substrates as food source for chafer larvae to improve the productivity and reduce production cost. The larvae were fed with spent substrates of king oyster mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii) (P-SMS) and shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes) (L-SMS), with a control of fermented oak sawdust. Effects of the diets on the development of P. brevitarsis seulensis and contents of minor nutrient components in the larvae produced were examined. In the P-SMS diet, the larval rearing period was shorter at 16.2 days, while the rate of larval weight gain and the cocoon weight were higher at 156.3% and 4.1 g, respectively, than that in the L-SMS diet. The pupation rate was 100% and the adult emergence was higher at 93.3% in the P-SMS diet than in the L-SMS diet with no difference to the control diet. In the P-SMS diet, the total nitrogen content during rearing was higher at 10.28% and the minor nutrient component, particularly Fe (145.8 mg/kg), was higher than that in other diets. The oviposition preference of adults showed no significant difference among the diets. Economic analysis showed that P-SMS costs approximately 667,960 Won less per 100 kg of larvae produced, compared to that of the control diet.
