The present study investigated the effect of perch material type (wood and steel) on performance, blood characteristics, and feather pecking. A total of 1,700, one-day-old female Hy-Line brown chicks were evenly assigned to two treatments (wood and steel). The body weight and uniformity of birds were investigated over a 10-week experimental period. Blood characteristics and feather pecking was conducted at week 10. The wood perch treatment (WP) and steel perch treatment (SP) did not differ in their body weight, uniformity, and serum biochemical profile (except inorganic phosphorus) of pullets. Inorganic phosphorus on serum in WP significantly higher than that in SP (P<0.05). Blood corpuscle composition (leukocyte, erythrocyte, and Heterophil / Lymphocyte ratio) of pullets did not show any significant differences among treatments at week 10. Serum corticosterone and feather score that is stress and welfare indices were not affected by the type of perch material. In conclusion, our results suggest that performance, blood characteristics, and feather pecking of pullets were not affected by the perch material type. The results of this study can serve as basic data for investigating the effects of perch type on layer pullets.

To develop techniques for the production of artificial seedling of Corbicula japonica, protocols for induction of spawning and larval development were developed. During the assumed spawning period of August to mid-September, attempts were first made to induce spawning by gonadal incision and UV-irradiation but all in vain. At the end of August, elevated thermal induction evoked 90 % positive response in animals maintained at $3\textperthousand$ salinity. Immersion in (1/1000~3/1000 N) ammonium hydroxide ($NH_4$OH) also induced spawning in 15~45%) of the treated animals at $3\textperthousand$ salinity. Fertilized eggs measured 86$\mum. At 23.0~24.5$^{\circ}C$, the fertilized egos developed into 4-cell stage embryos within 2 hours, trochophores 15 hours, D-shaped larvae 2 days, umbo 9 days and fully grown veligers, ready to infiltrate into the sediment, within 16 days.

In this paper, we suggest a measurement modeling of the RF seeker using the ISAR(Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar) image. Reference scattering points are extracted first from ISAR images which are changed according to target attitude. And then uncertainties included in RF seeker measurement such as noise strength, blink, and boresight error are added to the reference scattering points. The proposed measurement model of the RF seeker can be used to develop various kinds of target tracking algorithms.

Siniperca scherzeri is major target species for restocking and restoration project as it is one of the economic species in South Korea. In this study, to investigate their ecological characteristics movement pattern and habitat characteristic of S. scherzeri were analyzed using radio telemetry. Three specimens released during spawning season, moved more than 10 km toward upstream from the release site. Whereas the remains released after spawning season, settled within 400 m of their release site except two specimens (Ss 11, 3.2 km; Ss, 15, 1.4 km). One of possible reason of upstream movement during spawning season is reproduction. The conditions of their settlement area is similar with reference conditions of their spawning ground. S. scherzeri were mainly detected near the edge of the water, and it may related with the facts that rocks are mainly located at the edge of the water and S. scherzeri prefers rocks for their shelter. AMD (Accumulated movement distance) positively related with body weight and condition factor K, but no significant relationship was identified with gender and total length. Daily movement boundary of S. scherzeri was $214.94m^2{\sim}3,257.19m^2$, and their movement was restricted near the edge of the water. The results of this study could be useful to restocking and restoration.

This study was to investigate the relationship between chick weight in the growing period and the laying performance of Korean native chicken (KNC) breeders. We measured the body weights of 1,384 KNC breeders at 1-140 days of age at two-week intervals. The age at first egg laying, hen-day and hen-housed egg production, and the egg weights were investigated. Correlation coefficients between the body weight and egg production traits were analyzed. The results showed that the correlation coefficients between body weight and age at first egg laying were significantly positive before 4 weeks, but negative after 8 weeks of age. The correlation coefficients between body weight and egg production rate were estimated to be negative before 8 weeks and positive after 12 weeks of age. Coefficients of hen-day and hen-housed egg production were similar. There was little correlation between body weight and egg weight at 32 weeks of age, whereas a low positive correlation was with egg weight at 50 weeks. In conclusion, there was little correlation between body weight and laying performance before 8 weeks of age, whereas a significant positive correlation was with body weight after 12 weeks. The results suggest that as the chick's weight increases in the late growing stage, sexual maturity is faster, the egg production rate is higher, and the egg weight increases. Therefore, the weight management of KNC female breeders is very important in the late growing stage, and the body weight of chicks must be maintained above the standard weight.

최근 4~5년 전부터 우리나라의 하절기 온도상황 및 호우 경향이 많이 달라지고 있다. 평년에 비해 6월 경 혹서기가 시작 되는가 하면, 지역별로 차이는 있으나 장마는 짧게 지나가고, 국지성 집중 호우 이후 혹서기가 반복되는 상황이다. 당연히 케이지 사육이 주로 이루어지는 산란계에 있어서는 습한 환경에 고온이 더해져 그 스트레스가 더욱 가중되어졌을 것으로 보인다. 이러한 부분은 섭취량 저하 및 생산성 저하로 연계되고, 질병 또한 평년에 비해 많이 발생하고 있다. 따라서 금번 환절기의 산란계는 혹서기로 인한 체력 저하 및 환경 적응력이 미진한 상황에서 일교차 증가와 온도 저하, 일조시간 변화 및 호르몬의 변화 등 다양한 스트레스에 직면하게 될 것으로 생각된다. 무엇보다 가을 환절기는 극심한 온도의 일교차 변화와 함께 시설과 농장환경에 따라 차이가 있겠지만 환기 부분에 있어서 기본적인 문제가 발생하게 되며, 특히 환기 부분은 겨울철로 향해 갈수록 관리가 어려워질 수밖에 없는 시점이다. 이러한 환경 변화에 따라 사료 섭취량 및 체내 영양소 균형과 대사과정에도 변화가 연계되면서 생산성의 저하, 면역력의 약화 및 활력의 저하가 동반되며 호흡기 및 다양한 질병(IB, ND, AI 등)이 발생될 가능성이 높아지게 된다. 따라서 이러한 상황에서 관리해야 할 몇 가지 주요 포인트를 점검해 보고자 한다.

The habitat, age and spawning characteristics of the Korean eastern spined loach, Iksookimia yongdokensis, were investigated to obtain baseline data for its ecological characteristics in the Chuksancheon (stream), Yeongdeok-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea. The difference between the habitats of juveniles (0+) and 1~4 year old loaches was that juveniles mainly inhabited sandy bottoms (substratum particle size $0.6{\pm}1.44\;cm$) with very slow velocities of water current ($2.4{\pm}2.09\;cm/sec$) and low depths ($29.2{\pm}7.57\;cm$), whereas 1~4 year old loaches inhabited pebble and cobble bottoms (substratum particle size 5.5~6.1 cm) with relatively fast velocities of water current (3.8~4.6 cm/sec) and deep depths (50~70 cm). The age groups for I. yongdokensis (female) estimated by the frequency distribution of total length in the spawning season (July) indicated that the 35~64 mm is 1-year old, the 65~94 mm group is 2-year old, the 95~119 mm is 3-year old, and the 120~145 mm is more than 4-year old. The sex ratio (♂/♀) was 0.69, and females were 10~30 mm larger than males. The lamina circularis at the base of the pectoral fins in males, a secondary sexual characteristic, formed at the 13th month after hatching. The spawning season according to the gonadosomatic index (GSI) was June to July with water temperatures of $20{\sim}25^{\circ}C$. The average number of eggs was $2,292{\pm}618$, with a diameter of $1.46{\pm}0.02\;mm$ for mature eggs.
