To examine the algicidal effect of co-treatment of biological control agent on centric diatom Stephanodiscus hantzschii in the filtered water, an endemic algicidal bacterium (Pseudomonas putida) and a heterotrich ciliate (Stentor roselli) were iso-lated from Pal'tang reservoir, Korea. Bacterial isolate and ciliate removed 98% and 80% of the diatom for 7 days of cultivation. Co-treatments of these two agents perfectly inhibited the diatom growth, compared to the single treatment of each agent. This synergistic interaction of the bacterium and ciliate could provide an effective tool in the biomanipulation to control the diatom bloom in freshwater lakes and streams.

Ciliates have the possibility of a new live food in marine finfish culture because of their wide range of body size, thin tell wall, show motility, and fast reproduction rate. In this research, six species of ciliates were isolated from south coast and salt pond in Korea. The fitness of these species as a live food was evaluated in terms of size, motility, suspensibility and cell density. As the result, Euplotes sp. (K-1) was found suitable to be a new live food which might substitute rotifers, Brachionus plintilis and B. rotundiformis in fish larvae culture. The modified $F{\emptyset}yn's$ Erdschreiberd media, MErds-2 with the addition of glycine, glucose and yeast extract increased six times higher growth rate of Euplotes sp. (K-1) than the basic F$\emptyset$yn's Erdschreiberd media. The optimum water temperature, pH and light intensity for this ciliates were $22.5^{\circ}C$, 8 and 2,000 lux, respectively, and its culture environmental range was relatively wide, On the other hand, this ciliate fed baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cererisiae grew up to 1,240 inds./mL with the inocula of 100 inds./mL within 7 days. The results of the study showed that Euplotes sp. (K-1) has a potential to be utilized as a new live food in fish larvae culture.

In order to understand the taxonomic and ecologic characteristics on ciliates plankton, surface water samples were collected once a weekly from March 2001 to December 2001 except once a monthly from December 2001 to January 2001 and twice a monttdy at February 2001 at Pal'tang reservoir in Korea. Totally 12 species belonging to 10 genera in 7 families of 6 order, were identified and all species new record in Korea. All of them had been recorded in eutrophic water bodies. Succession of dominant species occurred obviously according to seasonality. Large -sized Codonella cratera, Rimostrombidium lacustris, Strobilidium caudatum, Limnostrombidium viride, Pelagostrombidium fallax, Stylonychia sp., Pseudostrombidium plaktonticum and Phascolodon vorticella dominated during the period of outbreak of nanophytoplankton in winter to spring. However, small-sized Rimostrombidium hyalinum, rimostrombidium brachykinetum, Halteria gradinella and Vorticella convallaria occurred when the bacteria abundance increased in summer to autumn.

This study investigated the distribution of scuticociliates in the intestine, spleen, kidney, testis, brain, pericondrial bone and muscle layer of the tiger puffer, Takifugu rubripes, infected with scuticociliates. Scuticociliates were infiltrated in the connective tissues of the outer layer of the intestine, spleen, kidney, testis, brain, pericondrial bone and muscle layer. In brain, membranous tissue and optic lobe cortex separation were accompanied by the infection of scuticociliates. Other internal tissues and organs did not show any lesions expect for heavy deposition of hemosiderin in spleen.

강우가 집중하고 남조류가 대발생하던 시기의 중영양호소인 주암호에서 박테리아, 식물플랑크톤, ANF, HNF, 섬모충플랑크톤, 동물플랑크톤과 환경요인들의 변화에 대해 조사하였다. 조사기간동안 우점종은 Cyclotella meneghinana, Aulacoseira granulata, Cryptomonas tetrapyrenoidsa로서 총현존량의 67% 이상을 차지하였다. 조사기간동안 남조류 대발생의 구성원은 현존량 및 종조성에서 크게 변화 하였다. 여름철 강우에 의한 엽록소 a, 수질 (COD, TP)의 변동이 심하였으며, 특히 C. tetrapyrenoidsa는 HNF, nauplii, rotifer, 섬모충의 변동에 매우 밀접한 관계를 보였다. 포식자인 rotifer는 박테리아, 피코플랑크톤이나 ANF같은 소형플랑크톤의 변동과 높은 관계를 보였다.

스쿠치카는 넙치에 기생하는 섬모충으로 스쿠치카에 대한 숙주의 면역반응은 거의 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 숙주의 스쿠치카에 대한 방어 메카니즘을 알기 위하여 스쿠치카에 대한 단클론항체를 만들어 스쿠치카에 대한 항체의 생물학적 특성을 보았다. (중략)

Growth inhibition of Microcystis aeruginosa was examined with single-or mixed treatment of algicidal bacterium Streptomyces neyagawensis and heterotrich ciliate Stentor roeseli, which isolated from natural freshwater. The harmful Cyanobac-terium, Microcystis aeruginosa density was effectively suppressed by the algicidal bacterium Streptomyces neyagawensis, and the bacterial biomass was few changed. The heterotrich ciliate S, roegeji isolated from the eutrophic Pal'tang riverine, Korea suppressed the algal biomass effectively. But mixed-treatment of both bio-agents was less effective, leading to an increase in algal density.

Common co-existing organism Euplotes (Ciliate, Protozoa) well often observed in the rotifer mass culture tank of marine fish larval rearing stations. Ciliate protozoa (Euplotes) competed to condensed food (micoralgae, Nannochloropsis oculata) with rotifer (Brachionus rotundiformis). As results, rotifer density was rapidly decrease, and what is more, the rotifer was wiped out by dominant bacteria species at that time.
