Efficiencies of hand sorting, vermifuge application and combined methods of them for sampling earthworms in the field were compared. 1) hand sorting : sampling unit of soil (50 cm${\times}$50 cm${\times}$30 cm, width${\times}$length${\times}$depth) was dug out and earthworms were sorted by hands. 2) Vermifuge application : Solution of mustard, pepper or formalin was treated onto the soil surface of smpling unit (50 cm${\times}$50 cm, width${\times}$length). 3) Combined method : In a sampling unit of soil (50 cm${\times}$50 cm${\times}$30 cm, width${\times}$length), hand sorting was carried out into the depth of 10 cm or 15 cm and then vermifuge was treated. Earthworms were collected more in numbers by hand sorting than vermifuge application although it was much more time-consuming and labor intensive. Efficiency of mustard to extract earthworms was as same as formalin but much better than that of pepper. Combined method of hand sorting with mustard treatment was more efficient than vermifuge applications and other combined methods. And it could collect earthworms as many as hand sorting, but was much less time-consuming and labor-intensive than hand sorting. Thus combined method of hand sorting (to the depth of 15 cm) with mustard treatment could be recommended for the sampling of earthworms in the field.

The key objective of this study was to analyze sampling efficiency of various fish sampling gears for a lentic ecosystem health assessment. This survey was conducted at twelve sampling locations of Jinyang Reservoir in November, 2008 and June, 2009. Sampling gears used in the field were fyke net (FN), gill net (GN), trammel net (TN), casting net (CN), minnow trap (MT), and kick net (KN). Fishes sampled in Jinyang Reservoir were 29 species, in which tolerant species, as a proportions of the total numbers, dominated the fish community compared to the sensitive species. Overall sampling indicated that 28 species (3,567 individuals) were sampled by the CN and 15 species (3,108 individuals) were sampled by the FN along with 14 species (577 individuals) by the TN, 7 species (107 individuals) by the GN, 6 species (59 individuals) by MT, and 5 species (95 individuals) by KN, respectively. Statistical analysis (MANOVA), based on CPUE of the fishing gears showed that fish species and numbers of the CN were significantly (p < 0.05) greater than those of any other sampling gears. In contrast, sampling gear of MT and KN showed the least efficiency in our survey. This survey is a preliminary results for the tests of sampling gear's efficiency in lentic ecosystems, thus further extensive studies are required for the verification.

With growing interest in biodiversity in rice paddies, efficient sampling methods for quantitative evaluation of aquatic macroinvertebrates are needed because of their important role in rice paddies' food webs. For this reason, we sought a proper sampling method through comparing data collected by using aquatic net, quadrat, and core in rice paddies located in Chuncheon-si, Kangwon-do, Hongseong-gun, and Chungcheongnam-do. Because the frame of the net was rectangular and had a flat bottom, the area, sampledwith the aquatic net, was calculated by multiplying the net width by the sweeping length, All samples were taken from the space between the rows of rice plants. Twenty four taxa of macro invertebrates were collected in Chuncheon and 28 taxa in Hongseong. In Chuncheon, the number of taxa was similar among three sampling methods (17-18 taxa), but the number of individuals was different (aquatic net, $1,317/m^2$; quadrat, $1,368/m^2$; core, $1,810/m^2$. In Hongseong, the number of taxa sampled by aquatic net was the highest (aquatic net, 25 taxa; quadrat, 21 taxa; core, 16 taxa), but the core was the highest in the number of individuals (aquatic net, $1,586/m^2$; quadrat, $2,595/m^2$; core, $3,704/m^2$. The efficiency of samplers differed among taxa. Most of aquatic insect taxa were more abundant in the aquatic net, while those living on or in the paddy substratum such as Oligochaeta and Chironomidae were collected more in the quadrat sampler. To collect quantitative data for aquatic insects as well as to produce inventory of rare taxa, we suggest, based on samplers used in this study, to take quantitative samples of 6 replications from each of the edge and inner zones of a rice paddy by using an aquatic net, and to take qualitative samples both from sides of levees and the inner zone of rice paddy by using an aquatic net.

Sampling gears for collecting fish are diverse, and the community of fish varies according to the selection and characteristics of the sampling gears. The present study compared the characteristics of fish communities in Yedang reservoir using four sampling gears (kick net, cast net, gill net, and fyke net). The kick net and cast net were inefficient in collecting the number of individuals. However, they increased the species diversity of fish inhabiting the waterfront. Although not many individuals were collected, the gill net mainly collected large fish. The largest number of individuals was collected in the fyke net, and the dominance was high due to the high species selectivity. Through Self-Organizing Map (SOM) analysis, large fish were collected in the gill net, whereas small fish were collected in the fyke net. The characteristics and efficiency of the fish differed depending on the sampling gears. It is expected that researchers will need to use it appropriately according to the characteristics of the sampling gears when investigating the fish community.

Using a successive removal approach the mechanism of sampling capture efficiency of blue crabs by dredges was studied in Chesapeake Bay during winter 1992. For the twenty-six field experiments no significant statistical differences were detected in dredge efficiency using general linear model analysis by factors including bottom sediments, water depths, and sampling vessels. Dredge efficiency (i.e., catchability) was estimated by two methods, Leslie (Leslie and Davis, 1939) and a simple revised method. Mean catchability was estimated at 0.26 (SE=0.03), indicating that only $26\%$($95\%\;C. I.=20{\sim}32\%$) of crabs present in the path of the dredge of a given sampling area are caught with a single dredge tow. Dredge efficiency declined exponentially as crab density increased.

The need for an efficient sampling technique to collect aquatic organisms has risen with the increase of interest in rice paddy fields, which have been recognized as important ecosystems supporting biodiversity. In the present study, a submerged funnel trap used with the assistance of attracting agents (fish meal and chemical light) was designed as an easy, objective and quantitative tool for collecting aquatic organisms in the rice paddy fields. The preference for collecting aquatic organisms as a means for attracting agents was analyzed using a generalized linear mixed model. Also, based on the data of previous research, we compared the community composition of the aquatic macroinvertebrates, which were collected using the quadrat method, and newly designed submerged funnel traps, by analyzing non-metric multidimensional scaling. The results showed that the catching efficiency of 18 of the total 65 taxa was affected by the attracting agents. 12 taxa including Pomacea canaliculata, Hippeutis cantori, Austropeplea ollula, Erpobdella lineata, Ostracoda spp. Branchinella kugenumaensis, Hydaticus grammicus, Rhantus pulverosus, Chironomidae spp., Rana nigromaculata, Cobitidae spp. etc., favored fish meal and 6 taxa including Ischnura asiatica, Coenagrionidae spp. Sternolophus rufipes etc., were attracted by chemical light. The submerged funnel trap used as a measurement tool for biodiversity was less applicable than the quadrat method; however, it was more effective for the selective collection of specific taxa. We expect that this newly designed trap can be a simple and quantitative method for collecting aquatic organisms, and could be used for long term and extensive surveys in rice paddy fields in the future.

설악산 국립공원지역 산간계류의 17지점에서 2000년 6월부터 2001년 6월까지 어류상 및 이화학적 요인 분석을 실시하였다. 모든 조사지점은 1-3차 이내의 하천으로 비교적 물리ㆍ화학적 교란이 적었으며 하천폭은 5～30 m 정도였다. 채집된 어류는 총 17과 42종 2,557개체였고, Cyprinidae는 16종 2,165개체가 채집되어 84.7%의 상대풍부도를 나타냈으며, Cobitidae는 5종으로 Cyprinidae 다음으로 가장 많은 종이 채집되었으나 개체수는 109개체로 4.2%의 상대풍부도를 보였다. Gobiidae가 4종 (5.0%), Salmonidae는 모두 3종 (0.8%)이 채집되었다. 이외에도 Oryziatidae, Plecoglossidae, Amblycipitidae, Cottidae, Serranidae 등 12과는 각각 1종씩 모두 117개체 (4.6%)가 채집되었다. Cyprinidae는 전체 채집종의 37.2%를 나타냈다. 우점종은 Zacco temmincki로 10개 지점에서 738개체가 채집되어 28.9%의 상대풍부도를 나타냈으며, 아우점종은 Moroco kumtangensis와 Z.platypus로 각각 4개 지점 648개체 (25.3%)와 7개 지점 344개체 (13.5%)로 나타났다. 한국고유종 (Korean endemic species)은 모두 4과 11종 781개체로 30.5%의 상대풍부도를 나타냈으며, 고유화 빈도는 25.6%로 한국의 평균 고유화 빈도와 유사하게 나타났다 우점종은 M. kumkangensis (한국고유종 중 83.1%)로 나타났으며, 아우점종은 Coreoperca herzi (5.8%), Microphysogobio longidorsalis (3.8%)와 Coreloeuciscus splendidus (2.6%)로 나타났다. 본 조사에서 외래어는 채집되지 않았다. 어류의 다양성은 국립공원내에서보다 하천폭이 커지고 서식처자 비교적 다양한 경계지역의 하천 조사지점에서 더 높게 나타났다.따라서 국립공원의 경계지역에 대한 효율적인 생태적 관리가 요구되며, 국립공원 내의 어류의 다양성 유지와 회복을 위해서는 공원 내는 물론 경계지역 산지하천의 물리적 변형 (보, 제방, 석축 등)과 오염원의 유입 (점, 비점오염원)에 대한 고려가있어야 한다.

Platelet products are used to treat hemorrhagic or platelet dysfunction diseases. Plateletpheresis involves collecting the platelet components of blood using an apheresis blood-collection system. Various indicators are available for evaluating the qualities of the apheresis platelets. The productivity of platelet collection is evaluated through both the collection efficiency and collection rates. Platelet storage quality can be evaluated in vitro using several indicators, including visual appearance, metabolic activities, volume, platelet count, white blood cell count, microparticles, and various platelet activation markers. Platelet activation markers have been used as indicators of storage quality in various studies. Post-transfusion platelet quality can be evaluated based on the corrected count increment and the percentage of platelet recovery. Although various studies have investigated the aspects of plateletpheresis, no article has systemically presented assessments of the platelet products obtained from different plateletpheresis devices. The present study provides a review of plateletpheresis, including the specifics of the process, the types of devices employed, the platelet quality, the overall efficacy, and the evaluation indicator qualities. Furthermore, the differences in functionality among the different apheresis devices are discussed. Although adverse reactions to the citrate anti-coagulant have been reported, apheresis processing may provide a safer option for donors who are at a high risk for presyncopal or syncopal reactions related to whole blood collection.
