피조개(Scapharca broughtonii, Red shell)는 우리나라 동해안 북부에서 남해안과 서해안의 내만에 걸쳐 널리 분포하는 고막류 가운데 가장 중요한산업종으로서 주로 남해안에서 많이 양식하고 있고, 양성 방법에 따라 장단점이 있으나 대부분의 양식업자들은 바닥식으로 양성하고 있다. 한편, 남해안은 임해공단, 생활하구 및 자가오염 등으로 수산생물이 매년 대량 폐사되고 있고, 가막만의 대부분의 지역이 펄질(점토성실트)로 구성되어 있어 상부해수가 침투하기가 매우 어렵다. (중략)

Experimental infection of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss with viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV, genotype IVa) from olive flounder Paralichtys olivaceus was examined. The cumulative mortalities of three different lot of rainbow trout fry challenged with VHSV ($10^{6.3-7.3}TCID_{50}$/fish) were less than 15%. No difference of virulence was observed in experimental infection using 5 in vivo passaged VHSV and original VHSV. No mortality was observed in seawater-reared rainbow trout (adult) challenged with VHSV ($10^{5.3-6.3}TCID_{50}$/fish) and virus was not detected in the fish. We thus concluded that VHSV from olive flounder has low virulence to rainbow trout fry, but not pathogenic to seawater-rainbow trout (adult).

Tagging method, recapture frequencies and mortalities were investigated to obtain the basic data for the effective release technique of abalone, Haliotis discus hannai. Tagged and untagged H. discus hannai were reared for 90 days in the laboratory. Attachment of plastic piece by Alteco was used as tag material. The growth, mortality and falling rate of tags were examined. Data from stock in natural condition showed that fishing rate, fishing mortality and natural mortality of tagged group were 0.04, 0.0195 and 0.4652, respectively.

This study was performed to natural infection of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis and mortalities of two fish species were compared at 10${^{\circ}C}$ and 17${^{\circ}C}$ after artificial infection with the parasite. Subsequently compared to motality by the artificial infection with the different parasite orgin of host at 17${^{\circ}C}$ using rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. The prevalence of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis in cherry salmon was higher than that in rainbow trout during the periods of low temperature but no difference in high temperature season. The parasite was not detectable in culturing water and detritus except May that of density has been high. Susceptibility to the parasite was higher in cherry salmon than in rainbow trout at 10${^{\circ}C}$ of water temperature but no difference between two fish species at 17${^{\circ}C}$. When rainbow trout were infected with Ichthyophthirius multifiliis from rainbow trout and cherry salmon at 17${^{\circ}C}$, there was no difference in death of host. These results suggest that cherry salmon have higher susceptibility to Ichthyophthirius multifiliis than rainbow trout at low temperature.

Recently high mortality of cultured olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus occurred frequently at the fish farms in Ulsan, Korea. The diseased fish showed skinny body and swimming behavior around the water surface with liver atrophy and white enteritis as internal signs. The isolated bacteria were identified to V. scophthalmi by biochemical test, nucleotide analysis of 16S rRNA and dnaJ gene sequencing. The pathogen of this study showed strong pathogenicity as 75% mortality to olive flounder by intraperitoneal injection of $1{\times}10^6$ CFU/fish. The pathological sign was not different between the naturally diseased fish and the artificially infected fish. Histopathological changes were shown to liver atrophy, desquamation of the intestinal mucosa and hyaline droplet like as other previous studies.

Fingerlings hatched from the eggs of the puffer, Fugu rubripes, which were spawned on May 21, 1969, and were cultivated. The results of their growth during 150 days, until October 25th, are summarized as follows: 1. The eggs began to hatch after 163 hours, at a water temperature of 15.9 to $17.4^{\circ}C$, and the hatching rate was $61.56\%$. 2. They reached the post-larval stage 6 to 7 days after hatching, and at this time a high mortality occurred. The mortality rate was 57.26 to $68.0\%$. 3. Sixteen days after hatching some of the larger fingerlings (6.7mm in total length) began attacking some of the smaller ones (4.6mm in to total length). 4. Twenty five to twenty eight days after hatching, the fish changed their food, and at this time a second high mortality occured. The total mortality rate amounted to 90.7 to $90.9\%$ of the total hatch. 5. After the fingerling stage. cannibalism occurs. The fish usually attack the caudal part of other fingerlings. It occurs regardless of body length and when the food supply is short. 6. The food coeffiicient at the age of 46 days (when body length is 53 to 68 mm) was 5.5 for short-necked clams, 8.5 for earth-worms, and 8.7 for fishes. 7. A third hish mortality occurred 53 to 63 days after hatching, the total mortality amounting to 95.76 to $97.34\%$, and the main cause of the mortality was found to be rickets resulting from nutritional deficiency 8. The growth rates were as follows: 2.68mm just after hatching, 3.84mm at the age of 10 days; 7.96mm after 25 days; 20.96mm or 130mg after 40 days; 73.68mm or 9.06g after 80 days: and 123mm or 31.8g after 150 days. 9. The water temperature during the above period was 15.7 to $28.4^{\circ}C$ with an average of $22.10^{\circ}C$ and the salinity was 25.53 to $34.50\%$ with an average of $32.07\%$, 10. The young of this species could endure well a wide range and sudden rise in salinity, and could survive easily when the salinity suddenly fell to $5\%$, but a considerable mortality occured when it fell to $3\%$. 11. When the fish were tranferred directly to fresh water from normal sea water they died out in 9 hours and 40minutes. However, when transferred from water of $5\%$ salinity at which they were reared for 54 days, they survived for 60 hours and 40 mimutes longer than in the former case.

Pathologic changes and distribution of viral antigen as determined by immunohistochemistry were compared among 4-wk-old specific-pathogen free (SPF) chickens inoculated intratracheally with velogenic vis-cerotropic Newcastle disease virus isolated in Korea. Although the pattern of organ involvement and severity of lesion was different among chickens infected with different velogenic viscerotropic Newcastle disease (VVND) viruses, the pathological types of lesion was similar among the chickens. Severe lymphocytic necrosis and depletion were main histologic lesions in the immune related organs such as thymus, Fabricius bursa and spleen. The frequency of IP positive staining was variable depends on the types of tissues but not types of the kinds of VVND viruses infected. Brain, Fabricius bursa, thymus, cecal tonsil and trachea were IP positive with fairly high frequency and spleen, lung, proventriculus, intestine, pancreas, liver, kidney, heart and Harderian gland were with relatively low frequency. These results suggest that histologic evaluation and viral antigen specific immunohistochemical staining methods to determine virus distribution will be useful for pathogenic study of velogenic viscerotropic Newcastle disease virus infection in chicken.

The southern coast of Korea is important for the ark shell ($Scapharca$ $broughtonii$) aquaculture, but the productivity was rapidly reduced during the previous decade by mass mortality. To overcome this economic loss, investigations only focused on environmental factors, and microbiological researches were performed insufficiently. In this study, two sites (Gangjin and Jinhae bay) were selected for their high and low rate of mortality, respectively, and the existence of microflora from underwater sediments in the bodies of $S.$ $broughtonii$ was analyzed. We screened the whole body of each sample and chose unique colonies, which exhibit alpha- and beta-hemolytic activity, for identification. The microflora in $S.$ $broughtonii$ was less variable than sediments, and restricted species were isolated. We identified 17 genera of 88 species and 16 genera of 64 species from the two bays, respectively. A major proportion was comprised of $Bacillus$ species, with the $Bacillus$ $cereus$ group being the most common species among the $Bacillus$ strains, while $Paenibacillus$, $Lynsilbacillus$, and $Vibrio$ species were the second most abundant species. At the genus level, there were no significant microbial differences between the two coastal regions. 64 species were isolated from rare site (Jinhae bay), but more species (88) with greater variety were isolated from the frequent site (Gangjin bay). Therefore, it was assumed that the cause of mass mortality lay in the difference in specie-level diversity, and conducting investigations on the diagnosis of pathogenic species by challenging tests using isolated unique species.

This study was performed to determine the disinfection efficacy of influent seawater by application of mechanical filtration and UV disinfection system (MFUVDS) in decreasing disease outbreak of juvenile olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). Bacterial disinfection rate of influent seawater following the MFUVDS application was 99.27%. Mortalities of the juvenile reared for 4 months were 20~30% lower than those of the control (25.8%~34.9%).

This survey was conducted to collect basic data about the effect of buffering zone installation in weaned pig house. Buffering zone was installed either inside or outside of pig house to compare changes of temperature, humidity and air velocity of pig room. The body weight and mortality of weaned pigs in house with buffering zone was also measured. There was no difference in temperature, humidity and air velocity between inside and outside buffering zone. Mortality of weaned pig in house with buffering zone was drastically decreased compare to pigs in house without buffering zone that could be useful to maintain constant temperature and decrease mortality.
