  • Copper,zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn-SOD) plays a key role to the first antioxidant defense system against oxidative stress in diverse aerobic organisms. Due to the housekeeping action of Cu,Zn-SOD, it was reported that the structure and function have been conserved during evolution. In this study Cu,Zn-SOD from cloudy catshark Scyliorhinus torazame was subjected to phylogenetic analyses to know its evolutionary relationship in the vertebrate lineage. Molecular phylogenetic trees inferred by NJ, MP, ML and/or Bayesian analyses showed two shark species, Prionace glauca and S. torazame grouped together with high statistical supports. In general, they placed at the separated position from bony vertebrates. Thereafter, bony vertebrates composed of teleosts and birds/mammals (amniotes) formed a monophyletic group. Each teleost and amniote clade was also supported by relatively high statistical values. These phylogenetic relationships are well congruent with the phylogenetic hypothesis of the ancestral position of cartilaginous fishes to bony vertebrates.

  • To investigate the fishes of the Arafura Sea of Indonesia, fish specimens were collected by scientists on board Korean trawlers fishing in this region during June 1994 and March 1996. A total of 137 fish species were identified, of which 40 occurred in both 1994 and 1996. In cartilaginous fishes, fishes from the families Carcharhinidae and Dasyatididae were dominant in terms of number of species and in teleost fishes, dominant species were those from the families Engraulididae, Carangidae, Sciaenidae and Tetraodontidae. This study revealed that Sardinelia longiceps, Setipinna melanochir, Cypselurus hiraii, Podothecus sachi, Nemipterus aurora, Johnius grypotus, Moolgarda perusi were collected for the first time in the Arafura Sea.

  • A complementary DNA encoding metallothionein(MT), a heavy metal-responsive protein was cloned from a cartilaginous shark species. Scyliorhinus torazame. An expressed sequence tag(EST)from the shark liver, which showed high similarity with a MT gene, was isolated and its full-length sequence(390bp)was determined. The putative shark MT cDNA sequence contained an open reading frame consisting 68 amino acids and 182bp of 3-untranslated region including the poly (A+) signal. The deduced amino acid sequence was 41-54% identical to those of other animals including mammals and fish species. Tiger shark MT cDNA showed high conservation in the Cys regions. however, peculiarly contained not only additional five amino acids just prior to the conserved beta-domain but also a Ser residue at C terminal, which has not been seen in other MT sequences.

  • Histological observations on the barbels of catfish (Siluridae) in Korea are reported. The mandibular barbel of Far Eastern catfish, Silurus asotus, has epidermis and dermis surrounding an axial rod of cartilage. The stratified epidermis embodies mucous cells, club cells, and taste buds. The mucous cells, which are thin rims of basophilic cytoplasm, and the taste buds, which are basophilic, are located at the surface and the distal portion of the epidermis, respectively. The basement membrane lies between the epidermis and dermis except in places of dermal papillae. The dermis is made up of loose connective tissue fibers enclosing nerve bundles and blood vessels. The central region of cartilage is innermost and enclosed within muscle layers. The mandibular barbel of slender catfish, S. microdorsalis, has an identical structure to those of the Far Eastern catfish however, the percentage thickness of epidermis in the upper and lower parts of the barbel and the number of taste buds in the upper and middle parts of the barbel are different from those of Far Eastern catfish. This study shows that the mandibular barbels in Far Eastern catfish and slender catfish are of a stiff and flexible type.

  • 젤라틴은 일반적으로 콜라겐의 가수 분해로 생성되어지는 단백질로서 대부분 동물의 결합 조직이나 피부, 배에 존재한다. 젤라틴은 젤리, 제빵 및 제과, 유화제 및 chewing gum base 등과 같은 식품용은 물론이고, 의약용, 사진용, 미생물 배양용 등으로도 사용되어 지고 있다. 젤라틴은 대부분 돼지나 소와 같은 육상 동물에서 얻어지고 있으나 최근 들어 광우병과 구제역과 같은 안전상의 문제가 대두되는 시점에서 그들의 대체 원료가 필요로 하게 되었고 이들을 대신하기 위해 어류에서 추출한 젤라틴에 많은 관심을 보이고 있다.

  • Biodiversity (or biological diversity) is defined as the variability of living organisms, the "diversity of life on Earth," and the complex relationships that make up ecosystems. This study aimed to investigate the spatial and temporal patterns in animal species composition and diversity at the Deukjin River, located in Hapcheon Province, Korea. The fauna community at the Deukjin River during 2016 season was identified with a total of 55 taxa, representing the following six classes: Mammalia (mammals), Actinopterygii (bony fish), Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fish), Aves (birds), Amphibia (amphibians), Reptilia (reptiles), and invertebrates. The Berger - Parker index (BPI) for mammals varied from 0.233 (Station A) to 0.333 (Station D). The Shannon - Weaver index (H') and two diversity indexes (N1 and N2) for mammals and birds in the upper region were higher than those in the lower region. The values of ${\beta}$-diversity for animals varied from 0.229 for fish to 0.339 for invertebrates. The richness indices for animal taxa also varied among the stations and seasons. Station A showed considerably high richness in mammals, birds, and reptiles/amphibians. Although the richness indices (R1 and R2) for six animal kingdoms during the seasons were different from each other, the difference was not significant (p<0.05). The evenness indices for five animal kingdoms were different from each other, but again, the difference was not significant (p<0.05).

  • The experiment was conducted to investigate the species composition of catches collected by the bottom trawl on June 24 to 26, 2004 in the southern waters of Korea using a trawler "DONGBAEK" belongs to Yosu National University. The investigation was carried out at the 5 stations and the towing speed was 3.4${\sim}$3.7k't. The catches were composed of 46 species from 37 families, 10 orders and 2 classes for fishes and 2 species, 2 families and 2 orders for Chondrichthyes and 44 species, 35 familes, 8 orders for Osteichthyes. The catches of Perciforms were the highest as 24 species and 18 families for fishes. The catches of Spear squid, Loli해 bleekeri and Red banded lobster, Metanephrops thomsoni were also the highest for mollusca and crustacea as 1 class, 3 species, 3 families, 2 orders, 1 class and 7 species, 5 families, 1 order, 1 class respectively. In the 5 stations, number of individuals and biomass were 1,144 and 376.0kg at ST-1, 908 and 240.3kg at ST-2, 666 and 90.1kg at ST-3, 2,050 and 300..4kg at ST-4 and 561 and 24.7kg at ST-5. The diversity index of each stations ranged between 1.49 and it showed the richness index of 2.13${\sim}$3.48, the evenness index of 0.48${\sim}$0.77 and the dominance index of 0.43${\sim}$0.8. Body length distributio of the dominant specise were 9${\sim}$32cm(fork length) for Japanese horse mackerel, Trachurus japonicus, 7${\sim}$23cm(mantle length) for Common squid, Todarodes pacificus, 9${\sim}$43cm(mantle length) for Spear squid, Loli해 bleekeri, 23${\sim}$36cm(total length) for File fish, Thamnaconus modestus, 10${\sim}$28cm(fork length) for Yellow porgy, Dentex tumifrons, 10${\sim}$36cm(fork length) for Target dory, Zeus faber and 8${\sim}$35cm(fork length) for Red seabream, Pagrus major.

  • The purpose of this study was to understand the evolutionary relationships between fish and other vertebrates which had DNA with the genetic defects in homoglobin expression, with comparison to the nucleotide homologies of the ${\beta}$-globin genes. The predicted amino acid sequence from carp ${\beta}$-globin gene was compared with those of other vertebrates from the published data. The nucleotide homologies of the predicted amino acid sequence from the carp ${\beta}$-globin gene with those of goldfish and mirror carp were high, and the rates were 97.3% and 93.9%, respectively. On the other hand, with the previously reported ${\beta}$-globins of goat, frog, human, rat, goose, chicken, and duck, it showed low homology ranging from 45.9 to 58.1%. The carp ${\beta}$-globin has one inserted amino acid residue, which was also found in other fish ${\beta}$globin, but not in other vertebrate ${\beta}$-globins.
