To study the composition of the developmental stages of Maurolicus japonicus eggs distributed in the western Korea Strait, we investigated the water temperature, salinity, eggs and larvae in December 2002. The Korea Strait Bottom Cold Water (KSBCW) lower than $10^{\circ}C$ was found in off the Ulsan and Busan where M. japonicus eggs were the most abundant. The composition of the developmental stages of M. japonicus eggs at each station were composed of 37.7~89.5% in the first stage, 8.5~37.8% in the middle stage and 0.0~24.7% in the last stage respectively. In the southern area where the KSBCW appeared, the first stage eggs occupied 73.3~89.5%. The high percentage of the first stage eggs indicated that the eggs should be transported by the cold water lower than $10^{\circ}C$ from the Ulleung Basin in the East Sea. In the northern area where the KSBCW was not found, the first, middle and last stage eggs were composed of 37.5%, 37.8% and 24.7% respectively. The ratios of middle and last stage eggs were much higher than those in the southern area with the KSBCW, which implies that the eggs are recruited into the northern area from the southern area with the KSBCW by the Tsushima Warm Current. The pre-larvae found only in the middle and northern part of the study area would be hatched during the transport of eggs from the southern area with the KSBCW by the Tsushima Warm Current.

A total of 4 pelagic eggs and 24 larval fish species were collected in Masan Bay. Engraulis japonicus eggs predominated in pelagic eggs. Abundant larval fishes were Omobranchus elegans, Scomber japonicus, Acanthogobius flavimanus, Hexagrammos otakii, Repomucenus sp., Scartella cristata and Gobiidae sp., and these 7 species accounted for 78.5% in the total number of individuals. Temporal and spatial variation in both species composition and abundance of was large: the peak abundances of pelagic eggs and larval fishes occurred in July 2007, whilst these were lowest in February 2007. Higher abundance of ichtyoplankton were at station 5 than those of other stations. Temporal changes in the abundances of pelagic eggs and larval fishes corresponded with temperature. Pelagic eggs and larval fishes varied among stations between with shallower inner stations and deeper outer stations with physical characteristics such as depth and local topography.

The biopolymer membrane could be formed using marine polysaccharides. Chiotsan and alginate were used for the formation of capsule membrane to mimic the fish eggs such as flying fish eggs and salmon eggs. The size of capsules ranging 1 to 5mm was prepared and the mechanical tests were performed to determine the mechanical similarities to natural fish eggs. The similar mechanical pattern between the synthetic capsules and natural eggs could be found. The controlling parameters for the strength of capsules were pH of the chitosan solution. This encapsulation technique can be broadly applied to medical, engineering as well as food areas.

Temporal and spatial variations and species composition of ichthyoplanktons were investigated by Bongo net in a sea area with the construction of artificial upwelling structure at 13, June, 21 September, and 23 September in 2012. A total of fish eggs was 4,849 ind./$1,000m^3$, and fish larvaes was 641 ind./$1,000m^3$ in the study area. The common fish eggs was Engraulis japonicus which was composed of 57.5%, and unidentified I, II, III and IV were occurred with decreased number of individuals order. For fish larvaes, Pictiblennius yatabei, Repomucenus sp.A, sp.B and Scomber japonicus were dominated, however, other species were Engraulis japonicus, Konosirus puntatus, and unidentified I, II. Temporal variations of fish eggs and larvae were remarkable differed. Higher numbers of fish eggs and larvaes were July 2012, whereas those were lower at August 2012. Spatial variations of those were also significantly differed with higher numbers were at station 2 and 3 during study periods. The total number of fish eggs and larvae was about 4 fold against numbers of those in the compared area far from study area. These results indicated that higher numbers of fish eggs and larvaes were due to influx much more nutrients and food organisms with artificial upwelling.

The seasonal distribution of Maurolicus muelleri eggs and larvae were determined using samples collected from the Korea Strait and the southern part of the East Sea in May and November, 1992, August, 1993, and January, 1994. The eggs were most abundant in summer and the larvae in spring, while, their abundance was low in winter. The eggs were mainly found from in all season around sea of the front area of latitude $35{\sim}36^{\circ}N$ and the West Channel of the Korea Strait found the middle or bottom water lower than $15^{\circ}C$. The seasonal distribution of the eggs in the western Korea Strait varied according to the structure of the bottom cold water of the Korea Strait. The M. muelleri larvae in different stage were most abundant in the front area of latitude $35{\sim}36^{\circ}N$. The spawning and hatching area of the M. muelleri was considered to be the front area located in the shelf break, and some eggs can be transported into the Korea Strait by westward cold bottom current in summer. The Korea Strait would be the southern margin of the distribution of Maurolicus muelleri eggs and larvae of the East Sea.

To study the distribution of ichthyoplankton in the adjacent waters of Yousu, ichthyoplankton were sampled 4 times (September 1996, November 1996, February 1997 and May 1997). Four species of fish eggs and twenty-four species of fish larvae were identified. Among fish eggs, Engraulis japonicus eggs were the dominant species comprising $80.6\%$ of the total fish eggs collected, followed by Callionymidae spp. $1.6\%$, Konosirus punctatus and Maurolicus muelleri occupied below $1.0\%$ respectively, while $17.8\%$ were unidentified. Most larval fish species were found in September (17 species). In fish larvae, Callionymidae spp. was the dominant species occupying $25.7\%$ of total fish larvae collected and than followed by Gobiidae spp. $23.5\%$, Sillago japonica $17.2\%$ Engraulis japonicus $12.2\%$, Omobranchus elegans $9.9\%$ and the unidentified species were less than $2.0\%$. The larvae fish species collected in this study area were comprising the coastal sedentary species (Gobiidae, Callionymidae, Hexagrammos otakii and io on), and the warm water species (Auxis spp. and Coryphaena hipurus and Pomacentridae spp.) which were appearing by warm water current flowing near the costal area of Cheju Island.

This study aims to assess the water quality of the Eoran and the Imha aquafarm with different aquafarm environments in Haenamn-gun, and analyzed the composition of total amino acids (TAAs) and free amino acids (FAAs) in three Neopyropia dentata cultivars (Yuldo, Supum1 and 2) in two aquafarms. Mean water temperature ranged from 22.9 to 10.9℃ during September to November 2018. In Eoran aquafarm, the water quality analysis showed that NO₂-N was high in September, NH₄-N and COD in October, and NO₃-N, DIN, and DIP in November. In Imha aquafarm, the water quality analysis showed that NH₄-N and COD was high in September, NO₃-N and DIN in October, and NO₂-N and DIP in November. We confirmed the proximate composition, amino acid composition (TAA/FAA) in two auqufarms. In the Eoran aquafarm, the 'Yuldo' cultivar had significantly higher crude lipid content than two other cultivars (Supum 1 and 2). The 'Supum1' cultivar had significantly higher moisture content, whereas the highest content of crude protein, crude lipid, crude ash, and carbohydrates was found in the 'Supum2' cultivar. In the Imha aquafarm, the content of crude lipid and crude ash was highest in the 'Yuldo' cultivar. The highest content of crude protein and carbohydrates was found in the 'Supum1' cultivar, while the 'Supum2' cultivar had the highest content of moisture. The highest concentration of glutamic acid belong to TAAs is observed in all cultivars from Eoran and Imha aquafarm, while all cultivars in two aquafarm also contained higher content of alanine among the detected FAAs.

The food quality characterization and safety Japanese flying fish roe (JFF-R), capelin roe (C-R), Pacific herring roe (PH-R) were investigated. The size of JFF-R was 1.48-1.93 mm, which was longer than those of C-R and PH-R. The moisture content of JFF-R imported from Peru (JFF-R-P) was 70.3%, which was higher than that of JFF-R imported from China (JFF-R-C) (67.4%), while was lower than that of JFF-R imported from Indonesia (JFF-R-I) (83.3%). However, the salinity of JFF-R-P was 13.6%, which was lower than that of JFF-R-C, while was higher that of JFF-R-I (1.8%). The moisture contents and salinities of the other fish roes were 80.4% and 3.2%, respectively, for capalin roe, and 65.4% and 20.0%, respectively, for Pacific herring roe. According to the results of pH, volatile basic nitrogen content, heavy metal content, viable cell count and coliform group, the fish roes could be used as sanitary sources for preparation of seasoned JFF-R. The major fatty acids of fish roes were 16:0 (27.8-30.5%), 18:1n-9 (7.2-8.0%), 20:5n-3 (5.6-8.2%) and 22:6n-3 (22.0-25.6%) in JFF-R, and 16:1n-7 (6.7-9.3%) as well as these fatty acids in C-R and PH-R. Total amino acid contents of fish roes ranged from 9.44 g/100 g to 10.39 g/100 g and their major amino acids were aspartic acid, glutamic acid, leucine and lysine. The mineral content of JFF-R were higher than those of the other fish roes expected for zinc of JFF-R-I. According to the results of sensory evaluation, the color and texture of JFF-R-P were superior to those of the other fish roes. No difference was, however, found in flavor, among JFF-R-P and the other fish roes.
