The seasonal variations in species composition and abundance of the fish assemblage were studied in the rocky subtidal habitat around the Jam-do, Jinhae. Fish samples were collected monthly from September 2007 to July 2008 using a pot. During study, a total of 48 fish species belonging to 24 families were collected. The dominant species were Sebastes longispinis, Pseudoblennius cottoides, Sebastes inermis, Rudarius ercodes, Ditrema temminckii, Ernogrammus hexagrammus, which accounted for 71.0% of the total number of individuals collected. The number of species, number of individuals, biomass and diversity greatly fluctuated showing a peak in the number of species, number of individuals and species diversity in autumn, whereas the biomass was the highest in spring. Abundance of dominant species varied with season. S. longispinis was abundant during spring and summer, while the abundance of P. cottoides was higher during autumn and spring. S. inermis occurred with high number in September, December and May, whereas R. ercodes occurred exclusively during autumn.

In this study, pilot study on the introduction of stationary fishery was performed to solve the problem of fisheries resource reduction. The Fyke net, which is a test fishing net was selected considering the environment, operation and management costs of Ulleungdo, conditions that can be operated by small fishing vessels and personnel. As a result of 11 times survey using Fyke net from April to May 2017, 2,735 individuals and 983.4 kg caught and the dominant species were red seabream, yellowtail, olive flounder, mitra squid, horse mackerel, filefish, etc. In conclusion, if the production of squid, which is one of the major fisheries resources of Ulleungdo, is continuously decreased, it is considered that introduction of small-scale stationary fishery such as Fyke net would be useful as a means replace income of fishermen.

Underwater sounds of some fishes and crabs were analyzed in the laboratory. The behavioral responses to the playback sounds of their feeding and croaking sound were investigated. The samples used in the experiment were as follows: Nibea albiflora, seriola quinqueradiata, Navodon modestus, Fugu xanthopterus, chrysophrys major, Scylla serrata, Telmessus acutidens, Charybdis japonica, and Portunus trituberculatus. The feeding and croaking sounds of the samples were recorded by a tape recorder through a hydrophone in an anechoic aquarium. The sound intensity level was measured by means of a sound level meter at an anechoic chamber. The frequency, intensity and wave form of various sounds were analyzed with an analyzing system consisting of a 1/3 octave filter set, a high speed level recorder, an amplifier, an octave band analyzer and an oscilloscope. The most successful recording was edited into a sequence of sound track which repeats sound emitting for 5 to 7 seconds after pausing for 5 to 7 seconds. The sequence was then reproduced into an anechoic aquarium through the under water speaker. The experimental anechoic aquarium used for the sample fishes was divided into the four sections with any three screens selected from 40$\times$40mm, 60$\times$60mm, 80$\times$80mm and 100$\times$100mm mushes according to the species of the fishes, besides that for crabs were not sectioned. The results of the investigation are as follows: 1. Of the feeding sound of fish, the frequency of wave from of the sound produced by Nibea albiflora and seriola quinqucradiata was 125～250Hz, that by Navodon modestus 63～125Hz, and that by Fugu xanthopterus 400～500Hz. The pressure level of the feeding sound produced by Nibea albiflora and Seriola quinqueradiata was 56～62db, that by Navodon modestus 57～59db, and that by Fugu xanthopterus 60～64db. 2. Of the croaking sound of Nibea albiflora, the frequency of the sound was 125～250Hz almost equivalent to that of feeding sound, and the pressure level was 62～63db, slightly higher than that of feeding sound. 3. Of the croaking sounds of crabs, the frequency of the sound produced by scylla serrata was 125～250Hz, that by Charybdis japonica and Telmessus acutidens 500～1,000Hz, and that by Portunus trituberculatus 250～500Hz. The pressure level of the croaking sound by Scylla serrata was 68～70db, and that by Charybdis japonica, Telmessus acutidens and Portuens trituberculatus 50～62db. 4. Phonotactic responses of Nibea albiflora and Seriola quinqueradiata to the feeding sounds produced by their own species, the same body length were conspicuous with the phonotactic index of 56～87%, but that of Navodon modestus, Chrysophrys major and Fugu xanthopterus were hardly recognized. 5. Phonotactic responses of the sample fishes to the sinusoidal sound with the frequency range of 50 to 9,000 Hz were observed not conspicuous. 6. Phonotactic responses of Portunus trituberculatus to the croaking sounds produced by their own species was varied in the range of 40～100%, according to the carapace length and the sex.

Thermal-denaturation of myofibrillar protein of dorsal skeletal muscle from file fish was investigated by measuring denaturation constant($K_D$) and thermodynamic parameters at various temperatures. The protective effects of sucrose, sorbitol and amino acids when added individually or combined were also discussed. The denaturation rate as reflected in inactivation of myofibrillar protein Ca-ATPase was followed the first order reaction. The $K_D$ values at $25^{\circ}C,\;30^{\circ}C,\;and\;35^{\circ}C$ were $19.52{\times}10^{-5},\;112.25{\times}10^{-5},\;and\;247.20{\times}10^{-5}$, respectively. The activation energy of the reaction at $30^{\circ}C$ was 43 kcal/mole. The protective effects of sucrose, sorbitol, glycine, alanine and Na-glutamate were increased with the concentration but the effects of sorbitol and Na-glutamate decreased beyond 1.0 mole. Basic amino acids such as arginine and lysine did not revealed any protective effect on the thermal denaturation. In case of mixed addition, the effects of Na-glutamate to glycine, sorbitol to glycine, and sorbitol to sucrose or sorbitol to Na-glutamate were enhanced 1.2 to 7.0 times as much as that of control (ratio of mixing; 1:1, range of concentration; 0.5 to 1.25 mole). Under the frozen condition at $-20^{\circ}C$, two mixtures such as Na-glutamate to glycine and sorbitol to sucrose apparently revealed the protective effects.

The visual acuity of filefish Stephanolepis cirrhifer was studied through a series of experiments by observing their responses to target plates. The fish were trained to respond to the target plates made of white acrylic resin with a vertical black line 5cm long in the center. The width of the black line ranged from 0.2mm to 8.0 mm. The line width was diminished unto the fish could no longer distinguish the line at a distance of 100 cm from the target plate. This was repeated under light intensities of 400, 20, 5, 3 and 1 lx at the water surface. Fish were rewarded with bait in front of the target plate if the fish went to the target date (i.e., success).The results show that the training effect of 1lensh had a success rate of over 80% and that the reach times to the target plates were 4~5 seconds over 210 experimental tunes. The success rate was high using the thick line with strong apparent contrast, but was low at the 1 lx. The visible critical width of line became thick with decreasing light intensity, 0.24mm at 400 lx, followed by 0.30mm at 20 lx, 0.40mm at 5 lx, 0.46 mm at 3 lx and 2.87mm at 1 lx. The apparent contrast for visible critical width of line increased with decreasing light intensity, 0.01 at 400 and 20 lx, 0.02 at 5 lx, 0.03 at 3 lx and 0.09 at 1 lx. The line acuity of filefish was best 1.21 at the 400 lx, followed by 0.97 at 20 lx, 0.73 at 5 lx, 0.63 at 3 lx and sharply decreased to 0.10 at 1 lx. The visible ranges for 1mm and 6mm in width of line were about 4.2 m and 25.0 m at the 400 lx light intensity and decreased m 1/14 times and 1/12 times of the 400 lx at 1 lx, respectively.

Community structures and fish densit were investigated on three different types of artificial reefs, dice, turtle artificial reef and tubes, constructed in the Korean waters. Variations of fish fauna according to type of artificial reef and the proper artificial reef in each area for optimizing harvest were discussed. Fish were captured by trammel gill net during May, June, September and November, 1988 and both identified and counted. Fourty-five fish species were found in the artificial reefs. Of these, Sebastes spp., Hexagrammos otakii, Pleuronectidae, Navodon modestus and Stephanolepis cirrhifer showed high occurrence-frequency. The dominant species groups were coastal settlement, demersal or rock fishes such as Pleuronectidae, Rajiformes, Stephanolepis cirrhifer, Navodon modestus, Hexagrammos otakii and Sebastes spp. in all of the Artificial reefs except the oceanic area of southern waters. Scomber japonicus was predominant in the oceanic area of southern waters. Composition of demersal, rock and pelagic fishes were different depending on the types of artificial reef. Dice artificial reefs were occupied by rock fish, on the other hand turtle artificial reefs were dominated by dermersal fish. Fish density was high at the dice artificial reef in all survey areas except the middle area of Eastern waters, with high fish density evident in the Tube artificial reef. Fish community structures were remarkably different between Dice and Turtle artificial reefs. The Tube artificial reef showed intermediate characteristics between the above two types of artificial reefs. The coastal areas of Southern waters and the middle and southern areas of Western waters revealed similar fish fauna. Results from the oceanic areas of Southern waters were well associated with the middle and southern areas of Eastern waters.

Isopropyl alcohol extracted filefish protein concentrate (FPC) and NaOH hydrolyzed filefish protein isolate (FPI) were used for the investigation on the effect of processing conditions on the molecular distribution and functional properties. The molecular distribution of FPC on polyacrylamide gel showed a resemblance to that of fish muscle, but that of alkaline hydrolyzed FPI showed the severe degradation of protein. The content of several amino acids in FPI were lower than those of FPC. The pepsin digestibility of the FPC dried at high temperature was relatively high. FPC didn't exhibit a significant difference in nitrogen solubility at the pH range of 3.0-9.0, while FPI showed a wide difference with the pH change. FPI was more suspensible and rehydrated in water than FPC. Although the aeration capacity of FPI was very low, foam viscosity was higher than that of FPC. In contrast with aeration capacity, FPI presented higher emulsion capacity and lower emulsion viscosity than FPC. The size of fat globule in the emulsion of FPC was larger than that of FPI. In general, most functional properties decreased with the increment in drying temperature, except water holding capacity.

A kinetical approach for the non-enzymatic browning reaction of the dried file-fish was studied. The reaction rates revealed a tend to increase with increasing water activity and showed the maximum at $0.75\;a_w$ The activation energies obtained from the Arrhenius plot ranged 12.5 to 16.5 Kcal/mole. From these energies of activation, the $Q_{10}$ values at $45^{\circ}C$ showed 1.9 to 2.3 and both activation energy and $Q_{10}$ values were reduced with increase in $a_w$ Shelf-lives, the time to reach an 0.15 O.D./g solid at which severe brown color change could be de ectable, decreased rapidly as the temperature and water activity increase. A storage study under a square-wave fluctuating temperature condition (at 35 and $55^{\circ}C$ periodically with 7 days interval), the rate constants at all water activities used in the experiments were higher than those at $45^{\circ}C$, the mean temperature of the cycle which affects other kinetic parameters including activation energies, $Q_{10}$ values and finally the shelf-lives. The data obtained from the fluctuating temperaure storage study will be used in prediction of shelf-life. The shelf lives assessed at $25^{\circ}C$ from the accelerated shelf-life tests ranged from 179 daysat $0.75\;a_w$ to 302 days at $0.44\;a_w$.
