The sex of bivalves is classified into gonochorism and hermaphroditism, and hermaphroditism is further divided into simultaneous (synchronous or functional), and sequential (asynchronous). The sequential hermaphroditism signifies sex reversal in accordance with seasons. In general, in the case of gonochoristic bivalves, manifestation of sex as female and male, after having identified the morphological sex, is limited to a period of the life cycle in any given individual. In order to accurately identify sex, continuous monitoring of changes in the sex during life cycle is necessary by tagging the sex. In the bivalves, sex reversal and sequential hermaphroditism has been reported in the Ostreidae, Pectinidae, Veneridae and Arcidae etc.. Most of these studies have reached this conclusion based on evidence derived from sex ratio change in accordance with the age within same populations. Sex change in the sequential hermaphroditic bivalves normally occurs when the gonad is undifferentiated between spawning seasons. Two factors are involved in sex determination and sex change in bivalves, namely genetic and environmental. However, more detailed research is needed on the effect of the genetic and environmental factors involved in sex determination and sex change of bivalves.

Molluscan drugs have been traditionally used as a folk medicine mainly in China, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan and Korea. Medicinal mollusks commonly used in the Far Eastern countries including Korea were investigated in this study, through a search of old and modern Chinese and Japanese literatures. A total of 63 medicinal species were listed: 5 species of two families in land snails, 2 species of one family in freshwater gastropods, 9 species of three families in freshwater bivalves, 23 species of five families in marine gastropods, and 24 species of five families in marine bivalves. Of 63 species searched, 22 species are occurring in Korea: 1 species of one family in freshwater gastropods, 4 species of three families in freshwater bivalves, 7 species of four families in marine gastropods, and 10 species of four families in marine bivalves. At least, medicinal mollusks occurring in Korea should be conserved preferentially to keep our natural resources and biodiversity.

이매패류의 의투막은 외부의 자극에 생물학적으로 처음 반응하는 기관계로서 자극을 외투강 기관계와 내장 기관계에 전달함과 동시에 외투강내의 모든 기관계를 이차적으로 보호하는 구조이다. 이매패류의 외투막은 자극수용, 외투강내 물질수송 및 패각형성 등 중요 기능을 가지고 있다 (Neff, 1972b; Wilbur, 1972, 1985; Machin,1977; Crrenshaw, 1980). 이매패류 외투막의 구조에 관해서는 Lyonsiidae의 일부 종(Prezant, 1981)과 Crassostrea (Morrison, 1993)등에 관한 일부 보고가 있을 뿐이다.

해양의 유기물 합성의 95%를 담당하는 식물프랑크톤은 해양 먹이연쇄의 1차 생산자로서 이들을 여과 섭식하는 이매패류는 식물프랑크톤의 분포나 양에 따라 그 생산이 좌우된다. 그러나 이 식물프랑크톤의 분포는 동일한 해역이라도 영양염류, 수온, 태양광선의 세기와 해수면에 입사된 광선이 해수 중에서 소멸되는 정도 등에 따라 생선속도가 달라지므로 동일해역에서도 분포의 변이가 매우 심하다. 기초생산력의 차이는 굴 성육에 관계되므로 여과섭식성 이매패류 양식장의 생산성 평가의 기초자료로 이용되고 있다(배 등, 1978; 이 등, 1991). 이 연구는 북만의 기초생산력을 조사하여, 다른 해역과 비교하고 먹이생물의 생산능력에 의한 굴양식장 수용력을 검토하는 자료로 제공하였다.

Masan Bay is a representative semi-closed bay acted as a sedimentation reservoir with a slow current velocity and a poor water circulation in Korea. The pollutants from terrestrial sources into the Masan Bay have apparently environmental pollution problems, such as eutrophication, red tied, and hypoxia. In this study, An ecological modeling work was performed to estimate the material circulation including the growth of bivalve in ecosystem. Furthermore, the effect of water purification was calculated by filter feeding bivalve to particulate organic matter just like COD and phytoplankton. And Water quality management strategy by bio-purification of bivalve is derived through selection of location, quantification of bivalve aquaculture farm. The results showed that the optimum location for bivalve farming is where phytoplankton accumulation by physical processes is maximized and the optimum density and area of bivalve are 35 individuals $m^{-3}$ and ca. 500 hectare, respectively. When assuming conditions for the optimum growth of bivalve, COD could decrease by up to 18% even without other reduction of pollution loads.

When the bivalve fossil microstructure is observed on a thin section, the growth lines of the older specimens are mostly erased by calcite recrystallization while those of the younger are well preserved in detail. During the fossil diagenesis, the shells tend to darken gradually since the valve-forming component Ca$^{2+}$ is the replaced by the surrounding materials Fe$^{2+}$, Mg$^{2+}$, and Mn$^{2+}$. Therefore, the metallic ratio against Ca component in fossil was increased during diagenesis. The UV-Visible spectrophotometry analysis shows that the reflecting degree is low level in Cretaceous bivalve fossils in contrast to the Tertiary and Recent ones. This result suggests that the dark color in older bivalve fossils is affected by the replacement of the metal ions.
