This study investigated the phylogenetic classification and pathogenicity of 6 infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) strains isolated from salmonid fish in Gangwon-do, Korea. Based on the nucleotide sequence of mid-G region, all six strains belong to J genotype, of which 5 are J-Nagano type and 1 J-Shizuoka type. In a challenge test, 5 isolates of J-Nagano type IHNV showed a various mortalities as 2 isolates induced a high mortality of 100% and the other 3 isolates induced mortalities of 50, 30, and 20% after intraperitoneal injection in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Meanwhile no mortality was occurred by 1 isolate of J-Shizuoka type virus. Thus, it seems that there might be no relation between genotype and pathogenicity within IHNV J genotypes. This is contrary to previous studies where reported a higher pathogenicity of J-Shizuoka type virus than J-Nagano type virus in rainbow trout. Further examination will be required to clarify this since only one J-Shizuoka type virus was analyzed in this study.

This study is unrefined ZnO, $TiO_2$ nanoparticles is expose M4 medium to search nanoparticle aggregation and Daphnia magna was any effect by immobilization and mortality. ZnO and $TiO_2$ nanoparticle powder-size is respectively 20 nm and 40 nm. but, M4 medium has about respectively as 1333 nm and 1628 nm, 40 to 70 times were agglomerated. Immobilization of ZnO and $TiO_2$ nanoparticles was influenced both time and concentration the higher to swimming of D.magna. Especially, The immobilization of D.magna in nano-ZnO is greater than that influence in nano-$TiO_2$. Mortality of ZnO nanoparticle is higher rate at long time and high concentration. $TiO_2$ nanoparticle observed mortality at 10ppm concentration after 72h. Consequently, when Nanoparticles is introduced into ocean. Particle size become grow. Additionally, aggregation be caused affect aquatic ecosystems.

From July to early September 2012, there was mass mortality of fishes, particularly black rockfish, which were being raised in the floating fish cage along the coast of Gyeongsangnam-do. The amount of damage was 1,802,000 fishes and the causes were confirmed to be rapidly rising water temperature and repeated daily changes in water temperature. The water temperature in this area of the sea rose to the maximum $28.4^{\circ}C$ and the daily range of changes in water temperature was maximum $6.5^{\circ}C$. As a result of investigating biological diseases of 194 fishes in 49 fishery areas, major pathogenic organisms such as red seabream iridovirus (RSIV), Vibrio sp. and Vibrio spp. or Microcotyle sp. were detected in rockfish in some fish farms. It is considered that the major causes of the mass mortality were high water temperature accompanied by repeated daily changes in water temperature, it is considered that biological diseases influenced the increase in the perish of fishes.

양봉사란 겨울철에 꿀벌의 월동에 적합하도록 환기와 온도 및 습도환경조절이 가능한 건물을 지칭하는 것이다. 양봉사를 이용하여 월동할 경우 노동력의 절감, 식량 소모량의 감소 및 월동기간 중 폐사율의 감소 등의 효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 현재 국내 양봉가의 대부분은 실외월동을 하고 있는 실정이며, 일부 상온 실내월동을 실시하고 있으나 저온양봉사를 이용한 월동은 실시된 적이 없으며, 이에 관한 연구는 전혀 수행되지 않은 실정이다. (중략)

꿀벌 및 봉산물 수입에 대응하여 국내 양봉산업의 안정적 발전을 도모하기 위해서는 현실적으로 실내 월동기술의 확립과 봉군월동관리기술의 생력화가 필요하다. 지역의 기후조건 및 봉군관리 실정에 맞는 효율적인 월동기술을 확립하므로서 월동기간중 봉군의 폐사율을 현재 추정되는 20% 수준에서 10%이하가 되도록 줄이고 월동능력을 향상시킬 필요가 있다. (중략)

Perkinsus 속은 원생동물문에 속하며 현재 세계적으로 5종이 보고되고 있다. 이들은 모두 기생생물로 수산업적으로 매우 중요한 해산 패류에 막대한 피해를 입히고 있다. Perkinsus는 국내의 경우 1995년에 바지락에서 발견되었으며 일부 바지락 양식장에 있어 바지락 대량 폐사에 직, 간접적으로 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 국내에서 발견된 Perkinsus는 아직 정확한 분류학적 위치가 밝혀지지 않고 있으나 일본에서 발견된 종 및 유럽에서 발견된 Perkinsus atlanticus와 매우 유사한 종으로 간주된다 이 논단에서는 해산 연체동물에 기생하는 Perkinsus의 생활사, 조직병리학적 관찰, 생태적 특성 및 최근의 연구 동향 등을 보고하고자 한다.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of acute hypoxia on the physiological stress responses (plasma cortisol as the primary response, and hematocrit, hemoglobin, plasma glucose, sodium, chloride, osmolality, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) as the secondary responses) of Korean rockfish. The mortality in Korean rockfish started at $0.7mg\;L^{-1}$ and $0.8mg\;L^{-1}$ levels at $12^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$, respectively. And the time required for the mortality in experimental fish was 274 and 148 minutes at $12^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$, respectively. Levels of hematocrit, hemoglobin, AST, ALT, ion concentration, osmolality, glucose and cortisol had significantly increased with decreasing dissolved oxygen at $12^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$.

An unprecedented mass mortality of commercially important macrobenthic animals, including Haliotis discus discus, H. diversicolor, Batilus cornutus, Sticopus japonious and Hemicentrotus puzoherrimus, occurred off the west coast of Cheju Island in summer of 1996. Phytoplankton blooms were absent along the coast. The appearances of the surface low-salinity water (SLSW) off the coast of Cheju Island preceded the mass mortality, leading to speculation that the low-salinity stress may have a crucial role in the mass mortality. Since there was no heavy rain for the same period, the precipitation was not a possible explanation for the decrease of salinity. Physical oceanographic data taken by NFRDI (1997) clearly indicated that the SLSW was present in the area between China and Cheju Island in August 1996. This is most likely due to a freshwater supply resulting from the existence of large river runoff. Evidence of the current and the distance between the Yangtz River and Cheju Island also supports the hypothesis that source of the SLSW was the freshwater originated from the Yangtz River runoff.[macrobenthic animals, mass mortality, surface low-salinity water].

We have confirmed the first case of mass mortality which occurred in the wild populations of larval toad, Bufo bufo gargarizans during 2007~2009 at Mangwel pond, which is a long time breeding site, and is located at the south eastern area in Daegu. We have investigated through microbiological tests the cause of mass decease of the larval toad, and detected numerous bacteria from the intestine by histological examines and cultures. The pathogen isolated from the infected larval toads has been identified as Aeromonas hydrophila, which is widely distributed in aquatic environment. However, this phenomenon of mass lethal pattern of the larval toad disappeared at the breeding pond after maintaining better water levels and low temperature in spring during breeding season in 2010. We propose that the high temperatures during the 2007~2009 breeding season resulted in lower water levels and drier conditions leading to explosive propagation of A. hydrophila in the pond which impacted the larval toad's immune function.

서울의 대표적 도시하천인 중랑천의 수질 변화에 따른 어류군집의 장기적 변동과 군집의 안정성에 대해 1990년부터 2001년까지 조사하였다. 중랑천은 1980년대와 1990년대초까지는 수질악화, 수변대 훼손으로 물고기가 서식하지 못하였으나 1990년대 초반이후의 수질개선으로 잉어 및 붕어와 같이 오염에 강한 종들부터 서식하기 시작하여 현재까지 18종의 서식이 확인되고 있다. 연도별 출현종수는 1990년에는 어류의 서식을 확인할 수 없었으며, 1996년 6종, 1998년 9종, 2000년 11종, 2001년 14종으로 증가하는 추세다. 그러나 출현종 및 개체수 증가에 따라 갈수기인 봄철과 이른 여름철에는 산란장소를 찾는 잉어, 붕어 등이 한강에서 중랑천으로 대거 이동하는 과정에서 대량폐사가 발생하기도 하였다. 2000년 4월 및 6월, 2001년 6월에는 중랑하수처리장 하류와 수중보 정체구역에서 소량의 소나기성 강우 이후 발생한 일시적 용존산소 고갈로 대량의 잉어류폐사가 발생하였다. 수질사고 이후, 수중보 및 하상 저니 등에 관련된 중랑천 생태계의 구조와 기능에 대해 많은 연구와 개선이 이루어졌으나 본래의 자연성을 아직까지 회복하지 못하고 있다. 특히 중랑천은 2005년 9월에 하천 복원이 완료되는 청계천의 한강어류 이동통로 역활이 중요시되고 있는 하천이다.
