In an attempt to develop natural seasoning materials by use of shellfishes and crustaceans, contents of taste components such as amino acids, nucleotide and its derivatives, the extractability of oyster (Crassostrea gigas), sea mussel(Mytilus coruscus) and crab(Portanus tribuerculata) were investigated. As a result of chemical analysis and sensory evaluation, the optimum condition of extraction could be concluded as extracting fresh or frozen raw materials for about 40 min. at $95^{\circ}C$ with 1.5 to 2 times of water by volume. The contents of free amino acids in the extractions were much in sequence as crab(1,886 mg%), mussel(765 mg%) and oyster(554 mg%), and the dominant amino acids in each extracts were identified as glutamic acid, alanine, glycine, proline and arginine in oyster, threonine, alanine, arginine, glycine and glutamic acid in mussel, arginine, proline, lysine, alanine and threonine in crab respectively. In addition, the major nucleotides affecting as taste enhancer of each extracts were estimated as inosine in oyster and crab, and inosine monophosphate in mussel respectively.

Trans fatty acids are formed during refining process of vegetable oils (deodorization), hydrogenation, the high temperature treatment of oils and rancidity. Trans fatty acids contents were measured in vegetable oils added to tuna, oyster and mussel Can by Glass Capillary Gas Chromatography. Also Acid Values, Peroxide Values, iodine Values and Saponification Values of vegetable oils added to Can were determined. The results were as follows; 1. Among vegetable oils added to Can, trans fatty acids isomer of cotton seed oil were mostly t,c-18:2 and t,c,c-18:3. 2. Total average contents of trans fatty acids of soybean oil added to tuna Can (Ab) were shown the highest values among tuna (Aa, Ab), oyster, mussel (Cb) Cans. 3. All of oils added to Can had been keeping safe quality during 1 year or more with low Acid and Peroxide Values.

Growth and survival of the hard shelled mussel spat were investigated to confirm the possibe spat culture in seawater pond from September 2014 to April 2015. Also, we measured simultaneously environmental factors including water temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH, DIN, DIP, chlorophyll a, and abundance and dominant species of phytoplankton in seawater pond every month. Ranges of water temperature and salinity were $4.0-23.4^{\circ}C$ and 18.8-25.2 psu, respectively, which were rather lower than the reported optimal level. Monthly measured survival rates in all the spat cages were over 90%. Concentration of chlorophyll-a and abundance of phytoplankton were very high, and dominant species phytoplankton were cryptomonads and nanoflagellates. These dominant species were considered to be good food organisms for the bivalve spat. The experimental cage stocked 100 individuals per basket ($2,700ind.\;m^{-2}$) hanging in bottom of seawater pond revealed the highest growth in shell height ($7.63{\pm}4.65mm$), but all experimental cages stocked below 200 individuals per basket ($5,400ind.\;m^{-2}$) did not show statistically significant difference. We may expect that seawater pond would be one of the best culture ground for bivalve spats when appropriate measures are available.

Condition indices (Cl) are considered to be useful measurements of the nutritive and health status of bivalves although studies on Cl of bivalves are limited due to the lack of a standard formula for calculating Cl. This study attempts to generate Cl of the mussel, Mytilus coruscus inhabiting along the coastal area of Chuja Island in Cheju using three primary formulas. the formulas used in this study: (1) Cl-vol= [tissue dry weight (g) 1000] /shell cavity volume (ml). (2) Cl-wt= [tissue dry weight (g) 1000] / internal shell cavity capacity (g). (3) Cl-size= tissue wet weight (g)/[shell length (mm)]$\^$3/. Monthly condition indices calculated with the three formulas are compared using ANOVA, Duncan's multiple range test and Pearson correlation coefficient. In Chuja Island M. coruscus collected ranged from 50 to 180 mm in shell length. Monthly ranges of Cl-values were 67.48 to 140.61 (Cl-vol), 74.67 to 118.02 (Cl-wt) and 1.4 10$\^$-5) to 1.6 10$\^$-5/ (Cl-size). Cl-vol values in August were higher than two Cl-values in the other months. Monthly Cl-vol was significantly different from Cl-wt and Cl-size. (p<0.05). The results of this study suggest that volumetric condition index (Cl-vol) used in this study is acceptable as a standard measure to evaluate conditions of M. coruscus.

This study was undertaken to explore the applicability of glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity as a predictable indicator to monitor chemical pollution in shells and fishes utilized for food. There were some variations in the basal level of GST activity depending on species tested. Ark shells, Anadara satowi, showed the highest normal enzyme activity, followed by catfish and marine mussels, Mytilus coruscus. White clams, Meretrix lusoria, Israeli carp and catfish had lower activity. When A. satowi was exposed to 3-methyl-cholanthrene (3-MC), a prototypic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon for 1 week, GST activity decreased by about 30%. This reduction in GST activity induced by 3-MC did not recover until two weeks after the cessation of exposure. GST activity increased in response to 3-MC in most of the other species studied. The GST elevation in M. coruscus attained its maxinum of about 200% at the termination of 3-MC exposure maintaining this level up to 2 weeks, and declined gradually thereafter. 3-MC also induced GST activity in lsraeli carp in a similar fashion to M. coruscus. Phenobarbital induced GST activity both in M. coruscus and lsraeil carp. Other chemicals. such as clofibrate, butylated hydroxyanisole. hexachlorobenzene, and oxolinic acid did not change the enzyme activity significantly in most speciel. Phenol depressed GST activity only in lsraeli carp. These results suggest that the basal level of GST activity is somewhat variable and that the direction of change in response to chemicals seems to be related to its normal activity. The change in enzyme activity can be a preditable indicator of some environmental chemicals such as PAHs and phenol.

Exposure to air and increased temperature induced successful spawning in Mytilus edulis, M. coruscus Crassostrea gigas and Pinctata fucata martensii. Developmental durations required for an egg to attain D-shaped larva and the D-shaped larva to reach pediveliger stage were estimated in these bivalves. Size of fertilized eggs was the largest (70.3 ${\mu}m$) in M. coruscus and the smallest (45.3 ${\mu}m$) in P. fucata martensii. At 17$^{\circ}C$, M. edulis and M. coruscus attained D-shaped larval stage within 48 hours after fertilization but those of C. gigas and B. fucata martensiii within 24 and 22 hours at 21 and 26$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The development duration required for a D-shaped larva to attain pediveliger stage was the longest (27 days) in M. coruscus and ranged between 20 and 22 days for the others. The shell length of the pediveliger was the longest (274.9 ${\mu}m$) in C. gigas and smallest (190.9 ${\mu}m$) in P. fucata martensii Length and height of larval shell was highly correlated with each other in all the 4 species. The shell height of C. gigas was more than the shell length beyond the size of 100 ${\mu}m$ shell length. However, shell length of the others was always longer than shell height at the larval stage.

In this study oxidative deterioration of dried sea mussel and baby clam stored at $4{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ and $25{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ were investigated. Acid value of samples were higher at $25^{\circ}C$ than those at $4^{\circ}C$ throughout the storage period. And it was higher in dried baby clam than in sea mussel regardless of storage temperatures. Peroxide value of dried sea mussel and baby clam stored at $25^{\circ}C$ tended to decrease after 30 and 60 days, respectively. Thiobarbituric acid and carbonyl value of samples stored at $4^{\circ}C$ were higher than those stored at $25^{\circ}C$ throughout the storage period. In case of sea mussel, However they were lower stored at $4^{\circ}C$ than at $25^{\circ}C$ in 30 days. Amino nitrogen increased until 60 days and then decreased in all samples. Fluorescence intensity associated with interaction between carbonyl compound and amino compound was increased with storage temperature and time but it decreased slowly after 60 days.

Photostimulated luminescence (PSL) and thermoluminescence (TL) analyses were conducted for the detection of different gamma-irradiated dried fishes (mussel, squid, beka squid, mitra squid, plaice, and saury) at 0, 1, 5 and 10 kGy. For TL analysis, the contaminating silicate minerals were obtained by density separation or acid hydrolysis treatment. PSL determinations indicated that all the non-irradiated samples showed PSL photon counts/60 s (PCs) lower than 700 PCs (negative), but the irradiated mussel sample at 5 and 10 kGy were only possibility identified showing higher than 5000 PCs (positive). Irrespective of sample kinds and methods of mineral separation, all the non-irradiated samples showed TL glow curves in low-intensity with a maximum peak only after $250^{\circ}C$. However, all the irradiated samples produced TL glow curves in high intensity with a maximum peak particularly in the temperature range of 1$150{\sim}250^{\circ}C$. In conclusion, more distinguishable TL results [glow curve, TL ratio ($TL_1/TL_2$)] were obtained from the marker minerals separated by acid hydrolysis rather than density method.
