To secure water resources, dams are normally constructed on the upper - middle part of streams, and it generates physical disturbances such as habitat alteration and stream fragmentation. Such construction can restrict movement of aquatic organisms, especially for freshwater fish which is one of top predator in aquatic ecosystem, and cause genetic fragmentation and community change. In this study, to investigate impact of habitat alteration after dam construction on freshwater fish, we monitored fish community changes, and compared fish fauna between dam reservoir and inflows. Additionally, movement characteristics and habitat boundaries of four species were identified by radio telemetry method. The study was conducted in the Gunwi Dam which was constructed in December 2010. Radio telemetry was applied to Pungtungia herzi, Zacco platypus (living lotic and lentic), Silurus asotus (lentic preferred species) and Zacco koreanus (lotic preferred species). The number of species was remarkably decreased (4 family, 10 species) comparing with before the dam construction (7 family, 15 species). Specifically, Coreoleuciscus splendidus, Niwaella multifasciata, Liobagrus mediadiposalis, Coreoperca herzi and Odontobutis platycephala that inhabit in the lotic environment were not collected in the study area. A total of 8 species were caught in both the dam reservoir and tributaries except 2 species (C. auratus and S. asotus). Sorenson's similarity between the reservoir and its tributaries was high (0.842). All of the radio tagged species stayed in the reservoir except S. asotus which moved to the tributary. These species mainly utilized the shallow littoral zone as a habitat. These results could be useful as a baseline data for efficient management of fishes in lakes.

본 연구는 부착규조류에 따른 부착성 요각류 Tigriopus japonicus의 nauplius 생산력을 알아보기 위하여 실시하였다. 실험에 사용된 T. japonicus는 부산 동백섬 부경대학교 수산과학연구소 부근에 있는 tidal pool에서 동물성부유생물망으로 채집하였다. 먹이생물로는 부경대학교 한국해양 미세조류 은행에서 보관중인 부착규조류 중 중형종인 Caloneis schroder를 대표종으로 이와 크기가(14.8~27.5$\mu\textrm{m}$) 유사한 종들을 대상으로 형태를 현미경 하에서 관찰하고, 지역과 분리일자 등을 고려하여 유사종을 선별한 후 최종적으로 종의 유전적 유사성을 밝히기 위하여 RAPD-PCR (random amplified polymorphic DNA polymerase chain reaction)을 실시하였다. 이 중 Caloneis schroder와 유전적으로 유사성이 낮은 Navicula spp. (KMCC B-245, 393, 394, 581) 4종을 선별하여 T. japonicus의 먹이로 사용하여 포란한 암컷의 nauplius 생산력을 3반복 조사하였다. Genomic DNA는 대부분의 종에서 성공적으로 검출되었으며, 종에 따라 PCR 증폭산물이 나타나지 않은 경우도 있었으므로, PCR 산물이 나타난 종에 대해서만 분석하였고, 증폭된 DNA band는 대부분 크기 0.5~2.0kb 범위에서 나타났다. 실험에 사용된 부착규조류 간의 유사성을 알아보기 위하여 similarity matrix를 분석한 결과 F값의 범위는 0.00에서 1.00까지 였으며, Caloneis schroder와 유사성이 낮은 종들에 비하여 유사성이 높은 종들이 더 많이 나타났다. 이들을 먹이로 하여 포란한 T. japonicus의 실험구별 nauplius 평균 개체수를 살펴보면, KMCC B-394가 255.7마리로 가장 높았던 반면 KMCC B-581가 29.7마리로 가장 낮았다. 그 외 KMCC B-245가 120.0마리, KMCC B-393가 76.0마리, Caloneis schroder가 32.3마리 각각 나타났다. 이와같은 결과를 볼 때 T. japonicus의 nauplius 생산력은 규조 종에 따라 큰 차이가 있는 것으로 판단된다.

To investigate the feeding habits of the Kaloula borealis, the stomach contents of 52 out of 56 specimens collected around Daejung-up, Jeju Island in June 2011 were studied. The stomach contents were analyzed with the stomach flushing method. According to the results, the main preys of the Kaloula borealis were Diptera sp., Harpalidae, Formicidae and Drosophilidae. the Kaloula borealis of all sizes fed on small preys, while individuals with large SVL fed on big preys. By feeding on a large amount of food with a small number of activities, the individuals with large SVL is considered to enhance energy efficiency. In many cases, the Kaloula borealis fed on Diptera sp. or Drosophilidae, which are slow but active and capable of flying. As a result, the Kaloula borealis take the sit-and-wait form of preying rather than actively searching for food. The results of this research on feeding habits of the Kaloula borealis will provide valuable resources to protect the endangered Kaloula borealis experiencing a sharp decline in their population and to prepare plans for population preservation strategies for them.

A total of 27 fish species were collected by a gill net in Masan Bay. The dominant fish species were Konosirus punctatus, Mugil cephalus, Engraulis japonicus, Psenopsis anomala, Lateolabrax japonicus, Leiognathus nuchalis, Chelon affinis, Trachurus japonicus, and these accounted for 87.6% of the total numbers. The numerically dominant fish species made up 95.4% of biomass. These were primarily juvenile species or early larger species. Temporal variation in both species composition and abundance was large: the peak number of fishes occurred in March 2005 and July 2005, whilst biomass of fishes was the highest in September 2005 and November 2005. Fish numbers as well as biomass was lowest in November 2005. Temporal changes in the abundance of fishes corresponded with temperature. A gill net can be used as an alternative fishing gear to collect pelagic fishes commercially, although a gill net has a strong selectivity for the target fish species or for size.

Entomopathogenic nematodes were isolated through the investigation of soil samples from various biotopes in south Korea, the efficiency of isolation for highly pathogenic nematodes to silkworms (Bombyx mori) was as high as 28 %. Twenty-eight strains of nematodes, selected among 100 samples by silkworms were confirmed the pathogenicity, multiplicity, and tolerance against various condition of preservation. Pathogenicity of the nematode isolates to agricultural and environmental pests such as Calliphora vomitoria, Pseufaletia separata, Palomena angulosa, and Melolontha incana were high. Mortality was varied from 20 to 100% by the pest insects and nematode strains. The high detectablity of entomopathogenic nematodes resulted from the methods of collection for soil samples within 10 cm depth after eliminating dried soil surface and the use of silkworm trap. High population of entomopathogenic nematodes represented the strong activity and broad action radius in the environment. Most of the nematode isolates were successfully cultured on the silkworm host as well as on artificial media, and proved their potential for the use of biological control agent.

This paper verifies the performance of the wireless-signal map-matching (WSMM) method that is recently proposed to mitigate the effects of non-line-of-sight (NLOS) error in positioning under wireless terrestrial network environments. The WSMM method is the new positioning technology that estimates and compensate the NLOS errors by processing the bulks of anonymous measurements at unknown locations that are collected randomly and automatically. The WSMM method would be advantageous for various configurations of future ubiquitous sensor networks since it is based on the existing network configuration for communication and it requires no additional hardware in base stations and mobile handsets. It is shown that the application of the WSMM concept to the real CDMA pilot strength measurment message (PSMM) actually mitigates the NLOS error effects and improves overall positioning accuracy.

As waste-water disposal plants and oxidative biodegradation for the removal of waste polyaromatic dyes are proved to be ineffective due to the chemical stability of dyes, we studied various strains of mushroom fungi for the removal of these dyes. 100 fungi were isolated from the mushroom samples of 230 species collected in Korea. The growth medium containing a dye (Bromophenol Blue, Congo Red, or Methylene Blue) was inoculated to 10% and incubated for 7 days without shaking. The six strains which removed dyes effectively were selected for further studies with respect to removal of polycyclic aromatic dyes. For all strains, the rate of decoloration of dyes was increasing with Methylene Blue, Bromophenol Blue and Congo Red. The rate of decoloration was higher with stationary culture than with shaking culture. Adsorption of the dyes was the highest with Congo Red.

In this paper, we propose a one-class vibration anomaly detection system for bearing defect diagnosis. In order to reduce the economic and time loss caused by bearing failure, an accurate defect diagnosis system is essential, and deep learning-based defect diagnosis systems are widely studied to solve the problem. However, it is difficult to obtain abnormal data in the actual data collection environment for deep learning learning, which causes data bias. Therefore, a one-class classification method using only normal data is used. As a general method, the characteristics of vibration data are extracted by learning the compression and restoration process through AutoEncoder. Anomaly detection is performed by learning a one-class classifier with the extracted features. However, this method cannot efficiently extract the characteristics of the vibration data because it does not consider the frequency characteristics of the vibration data. To solve this problem, we propose an AutoEncoder model that considers the frequency characteristics of vibration data. As for classification performance, accuracy 0.910, precision 1.0, recall 0.820, and f1-score 0.901 were obtained. The network design considering the vibration characteristics confirmed better performance than existing methods.

Toxin production and low digestibility of cyanobacteria are known to cause low exploitability of cyanobacteria by zooplankton. In this study, we compared relative tolerance and compatibility of zooplankton taxa in eight eutrophic lakes, exposed to frequent cyanobacterial blooms, uring the summer season of 1999. Microcystis, Anabaena, Oscillatoria and Phormidium were common cyanobacteria in all lakes. with relatively lower $NO_3-N$ concentration (<0.2 mgN/l) and TN/TP ratio (<20), compared with other lakes where colonial cyanobacteria dominated. Rotifers were dominant zooplankton in most lakes, and among them, Keratella, Polyarthra and Hexathra were common. The laboratory feeding experiment showed that relative copepods that greatly decreased (90%) after 4 day when cyanobacteria were used as the food source of zooplankton, while rotifers gradually increased with the change of dominant taxa from Keratella through Pompholyx to Monostyla. These results suggest that rotifers may be capable of coexisting with cyanobacteria by exploiting them for the food source.

Agriculture modern environments can vary due to factors such as land consolidation and ditch enhancement projects. But, these improvements projects can include cover-ing-up of irrigation ditches with concrete, increasing the drop between paddy field and drainage ditches, which might decrease the abundance and diversity of fish fauna around paddy fields. In this study, for the management of agrobiodiversity on fish in paddy fields, we installed a small-scale fishways between paddy fields and drainage ditches, and evaluated the effects on the eco-connection of the paddy fields, ditches and stream. Five fish species were recovered at the drainage ditches. The species exhibited characteristics spawning and growth based on the paddy field. The results indicate that the five fish species could ascend the paddy fields through the small-scale fishways. There are no difference of species numbers at ditches of environment-friendly agriculture paddy fields (A) and good agricultural practices (B) region, but individual numbers were higher at the B region. This result could be interpreted as indicating that ditch diversity was affected by positional properties rather than farming practices because the water flow and connection to adjacent stream of B region were better than A region. After ascertaining the fish species capable of ascending in a pre-survey of the drainage ditches, we set up small-scale fishways at the drop between paddy fields and drainage ditches. Three species of fish (Aphyocypris chinensis, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, M. mizolepis) arrived at the paddy fields via small-scale fishways. The main movement time was from 18:00~24:00 and 00:00~06:00, indicating a preference for the night time period rather than the day period for migration. Concentrating the operation time from night to dawn seems prudent for effective management of small-scale fishways.
