As seed production program is growing prosperously in various fishes in southern Korea, disease problems in larval and juvenile stages have emerged as a new research object. The following results were obtained from investigation about environmental factors related to mass mortalities of young Kinki red seabream, Pagrus major in process of artificial seedling production. Total length of red seabream larvae hatched was 2.93mm, and became 18.83~20.12mm at day 40. The first noticeable mortality of red seabream larvae (7.98~9.37mm) occurred in 25~30 day-old fish with the survival rates of 59.8~60.3%. Thereafter the mortality of larvae decreased, survival rate was 20.5~25.45% in day 40. After 20~30 days, the quality of pond water was bellow II class. During the experimental period COD, $PO_4$-P, $NO_2$-N, $NO_3$-N and $NH_$-N increased up to 3, 7, 34, 6 and 8 times, respectively, compared to initial ones. The number of viable bacteria in pond water and seabream larvae were $6.3{\times}10^6$~$2.3{\times}10^7$ cfu/ml, 4.3~$7.4{\times}10^6$ cfu/g in day 25, respectively. Among the isolated bacteria from the diseased red seabream in day 25, Vibrio spp. was considered to be the causative organism. External symptoms of this disease were floated, spined near the surface and inflated abdomen. When the isolated strain of the Vibrio was bathed to seabream larvae, $LD_50$ of seabream larvae was over $10^6$ cfu/ml of Vibrio spp.

Recently, mass mortality of the young abalone Haliotis discus hannai has occurred in commercial seed production farms in Korea. The mortality rate was above 50% of the total cultured organisms in the farm, and the shell length of the moribund organisms was about 3cm. The mortal phenomenon was that the young abalones were weakly scattered on the bottom of the pond from the attachment matrix, or that they could not be moved back to their normal positions. The diseased farmed Pacific abalone had abdominal edema. From the edema in the moribund individuals, three bacterial strains were isolated and all the strains were identified as Vibrio harveyi. These strains were compared with thirty six strains isolated from the fish. The results was that the Vibrio harveyi from the fish were sorted into genogroup A or B; however, the three strains of the diseased farmed Pacific abalone were sorted into genogroup A and the new genogroup C. The identical mortality and pathological symptoms of the naturally infected organisms were reproduced by artificial infection with WA AG-1 and WA CS-5 strains. The $LD_{50}$ of WA AG-1 and WA CS-5 were each $1.0{\times}10^3cfu\;animal^{-1}$ and $1.7{\times}10^4cfu\;animal^{-1}$.

The monitoring was performed to survey the mortalities and medications occurred in the inland aquaculture farms of olive flounder in South Korea from May to October, 2012. Both of the indirect inquiry for entire inland farms and the sample survey for selected farms were carried out. The aquatic organism disease inspectors, who have the national licenses for the diagnosis and prevention of aquatic organism diseases and have close relationship with the farms, investigated the rates and causes of mortalities according to the standard manual. The cumulative mortalities rate by the indirect inquiry on 565 farms, was calculated to 27.18%, and the mortalities rate by infectious diseases was 22.64%. Otherwise, the mortalities rate by sample survey on 60 farms was 25.50%, 19.33% of them were caused by infectious diseases. The high mortality rates were recorded by scuticociliatosis, non-infectious loss, streptococcosis, VHS, artificial eliminations, vibriosis and gliding bacterial disease. Streptococcosis and non-infectious mortality caused to serious loss in productivity and economy of the farms, because of their outbreaks in the flounder groups over 600 g. The monitoring of medications in the selected farms revealed that formalin for the treatment of external parasites, such as scuticociliates, was the most commonly used drugs in the farms. As the antibiotic medications, amoxicillin and florfenicol for streptococcosis, and oxytetracycline and neomycin expecting wide antibacterial spectrum, were frequently prescribed.

In the late summer of 1990 and 1991, mass mortality occured among cage-cultured grouper, Epinephelus septemfasciatus in south cost of Korea. The moribund fish didn't feed and became pale or dark chestnut colour and irregularly swimmed due to the loss of equilibrium, finally the diseased fish fell down side away on the bottom or the surface of cage showing the bent of body and died. The diseased fish showed the extensive hemorrahge in brain, the swelling of spleen and bile duct as the specific syptoms of internal organs. So the gill, skin and other organs of the diseased fish were examined for the presence of pathogenic parasites and bacteria. The parasitic Trichodina sp. were detected only from the gill lamella of the diseased fish, but these parasites seemed to be not a direct causative agents that induced the gross mortality of the cultured grouper. because these parasites were also observed in normal grouper, yellowtail, red seabream and rock bream co-cultured with the diseased grouper in same or near cages. In the viral examination, although isolation of the causative agent by the use of estabilshed cell Lines, RTG-2 and CHSE-214, was not succeed, the normal grouper inoculated intramuscularly with the filtered homogenate of the organs of the diseased fish showed the same external and internal signs with the naturally infected grouper. They died within a week. By using the naturally and the artificially infected fishes, electron microscopic observation revealed numerous hexagonal or polygonal particles in the cytoplasm of liver cells. Based on the these results, we suggest that the mass mortality of the cultured grouper would be occurred by the infection of a viral agent.

A culture experiment of the ark shell, Anadara broughtonii, one of the edible clams, was carried out in Yoja Bay located at the south ern coast of Korea to find the state of growth and any problems which influence them. Seed shells at an average length of 2.5cm and a weight of 2.5g were planted on bottom mud with a density 20 to 40 shells per square meter on March 10 and 11, 1982. Shell length, shell height, shell breadth, meat weight (wet weight), and total weight for six months from August 1982 to February 1983 were measured to find their state of growth. At the same time, the survival rate was investigated during the whole culture period through December 1983 when they were harvested. Growth, on the whole, was fast when water temperature was high. For a year, an average shell length and total weight attained to 6.1 cm and 63.0g respectively and meat weight was gained to 19.5g. It showed that the state of growth was favourable. Shell shape became round from the oval ana meat weight increase was faster than shell growth as time goes by regardless of water temperature while both shells and total weight increased faster during high temperature. A month after seed shells were planted, about $30\%$ of them was dead and a high mortality, say $5\%\;to\;8\%$ per month, was kept till September. It dropped to around $2\%$ aften divers eliminated starfish, Asterias spp., in August. Thereafter, the rate maintained through December. In all, the final survival rate was about $10\%$ at the time of harvest in December 1983. It was caused mainly by starfish predation. Therefore, a best way for satisifactory culture is seemed to find a way to get rid of the starfish.

국내에서 바지락 양식은 경기도 연안의 간석지에서 1912년에 시작되었다고 보고되어 있으며, 1980년부터 본격적인 양식이 시작되어 1990년에 최고 생산량을 기록하였다. 그러나 최근에는 매립에 의한 서식장 감소, 양식장의 밀식에 따른 자가 오염 및 환경변화 등에 의한 바지락 폐사에 따라 생산량 감소가 야기되어 지속적인 바지락 양식장 유지관리의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 곰소만 조간대 및 주변 해역에서의 기존연구는 지질학적 특성뿐 만 아니라, 생물학적 특성, 퇴적물의 물리적 특성, 그리고 해역의 수리역학적 특성을 포함한 포괄적인 연구에 관해서는 미흡한 실정이다.

The aquaculture industry has developed rapidly over the last three decades and is an important industry that supplies over 15% of humans' animal protein intake; therefore, there is a need to increase production to meet the continuous demand. The fish cage farms on the southern coast (Kyengsangnam-do and Jeollanam-do) of Korea are critical resources in aquaculture because they account for approximately 90% of the national total fish cage farms by water area ratio. However, the current aquaculture environment is being gradually affected by climate change, which is a global issue, and its effects are expected to intensify in the future. Therefore, it is urgently imperative to accurately evaluate the effects of climate change on South Korean aquaculture industries and to develop social and national strategies to minimize damage to the fishing industry. The damage to fish farmed in cage farms on the southern coast is increasing annually and the leading causes are high and low water temperature and red tides, which are directly or indirectly related to climate change. At present, global warming can provide opportunities for aquaculture industrialization of fish or other novel species, with economic implications. However, despite such opportunities, the influx of new species can also cause problems such as ecological disturbances, increase in the reproduction frequency of microalgae such as red tide, increase in disease incidence, and occurrence and periods of high water temperatures in summer. The scale of farmed fish mortality is increasing due to the complex effects of these factors. Increased damages due to fish mortality not only have severe economic impacts on the aquaculture industry, but the social costs of responding to the damage and follow-up measures also increase. various active responses can reduce the mortality damage in fish farms such as improving the management skills in aquaculture, improved species breeding, efficient food management, disease prevention, proactive responses, and system-wide improvements. This review article analyzes the large-scale mortality cases occurring in fish cage farms on the southern coast of Korea and proposes measures to mitigate mortality and enhance responses to such scenarios.

대구는 한대성 어종으로 크기가 1m에 달하는 대형 고급 어종이나 최근 자원량 감소로 인하여 생산량이 급격히 줄어들었다. 대구 자원 증대를 위한 방류 사업은 1981년부터 국립수산과학원 주도로 실시되어 오다가 현재는 수협과 경남도 등에서 수정란을 연안에 뿌리는 방식으로 추진되고 있다. 그러나 지금까지 노력에도 불구하고 방류를 통한 자원 증대 효과는 극히 미진한 것으로 알려져 있어 대구 차원의 실질적 증대를 위해서는 생존율 향상에 도움이 되는 종묘생산에 의한 치어의 방류가 절실히 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 대구의 종묘생산을 위한 생물학적 기초자료를 얻기 위하여 채란, 부화 및 자어사육 결과를 보고한다. 강원연안 대구의 채란은 1월 중순부터 3월 초순까지 가능하였으며, 산란기 암수 GSI는 암컷 33.5, 수컷 13.7이었다. 전장 80.4cm 암컷의 포란수는 363만 개였으며, 복부압박법으로 180만개의 알을 채란할 수 있었다. 채란된 알은 직경 1.08mm의 원형 점착란으로, 습식 인공수정 방법에 의한 수정률은 65%이 었다. 부화는 1시간 이상 세란 후 가두리에서 부화시키는 방법이 효과적이었으며, 수온 4$^{\circ}C$에서는 10일 후 배체형성 후 폐사하였으나, 7$^{\circ}C$에서는 수정 12일 후 65.0%가 부화하여 가장 양호하였다. 1$0^{\circ}C$에서는 수정 8일 후에 30%의 부화율을 보였으며, 13$^{\circ}C$와 16$^{\circ}C$에서는 각각 4일 및 2일 후 발생이 중지되고 폐사하였다. 부화자어는 전장 4.3mm였으며, 부화 45일째 9.3mm로 성장하였다.
