The behavior of angelfish Pterophyllum scalare exposed to low and high temperatures was monitored by video tracking, and information such as the initial speed, changes in speed, and locations of the fish in the tank were analyzed. The water temperature was raised from 26℃ to 36℃ or lowered from 26℃ to 16℃ for 4 h. The control group was maintained at 26℃ for 8 h. The experiment was repeated five times for each group. Machine learning analysis comprising a long short-term memory model was used to train and test the behavioral data (80 s) after pre-processing. Results showed that when the water temperature changed to 36℃ or 16℃, the average speed, changes in speed and fractal dimension value were significantly lower than those in the control group. Machine learning analysis revealed that the accuracy of 80-s video footage data was 87.4%. The machine learning used in this study could distinguish between the optimal temperature group and changing temperature groups with specificity and sensitivity percentages of 86.9% and 87.4%, respectively. Therefore, video tracking technology can be used to effectively analyze fish behavior. In addition, it can be used as an early warning system for fish health in aquariums and fish farms.

In recent years, there have been many studies investigating changes in animal behavior using video tracking technology to track motion. However, there have been very few studies and results on changes in the behavior of fish infected with a pathogen. Therefore, the present study attempted to analyze the behavior of angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) infected with bacterial pathogens using video tracking. Two cameras were placed in front of the water tank to obtain behavior data, and tracking was performed for three days until the day of death. Data such as average speed, changes in speed, the locations of the fish in the tank, and fractal dimension were statistically analyzed based on the fish speed and location in the tank of the fish. For bacterial infection, an individual angelfish was intraperitoneally injected with approximately 10⁶ CFU ml^-1 of Aeromonas hydrophila or Edwardsiella piscicida. The experiment was carried out five times for each group. Fish infected with the bacterial pathogens showed a tendency to increase in speed and to spend more time in the upper part of the tank one or two days before death. On the day the fish died, the average speed, changes in speed, and the fractal dimension value were significantly lower than the corresponding values in the control group, and the fish also remained in the lower part of the tank. Our results indicated that behavioral changes in fish could be successfully detected earlier than death using video tracking technology, and that this method presents potential for disease monitoring in aquaculture.

열대 저산소 환경에 적응되어 있는 angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare)를 급격한 온도변화($27{\pm}0.5{\rightarrow}18{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$) 및 DO 변화($6{\pm}1{\rightarrow}18\;ppm$)에 2시간 동안 적응시킨 후 젖산탈수소효소(EC 1.1.1.27, lactate dehydrogenase, LDH) 동위효소의 특성 및 유전자발현을 연구하였다. LDH 동위효소의 특성은 native-polyacrylamide gel 전기영동, Western blot 분석 및 효소활성 측정으로 확인하였다. 전기영동 결과 liver- 및 eye-specific Ldh-C 유전자는 간, 눈 및 뇌 조직에서 발현되었다. Western blot 분석 결과 LDH $A_4$ 동위효소는 $B_4$ 동위효소보다 음극 쪽에 나타났다. 간 조직에서 온도 저하 시 LDH $A_4$ 동위효소가 증가하고 $B_4$ 동위효소는 감소하였으며, DO 증가 시 LDH $A_4$ 및 $C_4$ 동위효소가 증가하고 $B_4$ 동위효소는 감소하였다. 눈 조직에서는 온도 저하 시 LDH $A_4$ 및 $B_4$ 동위효소가 증가하고 $C_4$ 동위효소는 감소하였으며, DO 증가 시 LDH $A_4$ 및 $B_4$ 동위효소는 증가하지만 $C_4$ 동위효소 및 하부단위체 C를 포함하는 동위효소는 감소하였다. 심장 조직에서는 DO 증가 시 LDH 활성이 증가하였고, LDH $B_4$ 동위효소가 증가하였다. 뇌 조직에서는 온도 저하 시 LDH $A_4$ 및 $B_4$ 동위효소가 증가하였고, DO 증가 시 LDH $B_4$ 동위효소는 증가하였다. 따라서 liver- 및 eye-specific Ldh-C는 DO 변화에 의해 영향을 받으며 간 및 눈 조직에서 LDH $B_4$ 및 $C_4$ 동위효소는 서로 상대적으로 조절되므로 $C_4$ 동위효소는 lactate oxidase로서 기능을 나타내는 것으로 사료된다.

2004~2005년까지 수입산 pearl gourami (Trichogaster leeri), dwarf gourami (Colisa lalia), silver gourami (Trichogaster microlepis), blue gourami (Trichogaster trichopterus sumatranus) 그리고 freshwater angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) 등 5 어종을 대상으로 iridovirus 감염 실태를 PCR 방법을 사용하여 조사하였다. 채집한 56 samples 중 11 samples에서 PCR 양성 반응이 관찰되었고, pearl gourami에서 31.8% (7/22)로 가장 높은 감염 빈도를 나타내었다. 그 다음으로 dwarf gourami, blue gourami, silver gourami 순으로 나타났으며, freshwater angelfish에서는 iridovirus가 검출되지 않았다. 자연 감염된 관상어종의 비장으로부터 iridovirus의 핵산을 분리하여 검출한계 PCR 방법으로 viral DNA의 양을 비교하였으며, dwarf gourami에 비해 pearl gourami에서 더 많은 viral DNA가 검출되는 것을 확인하였다. 자연 감염이 확인된 pearl gourami groups는 실험실 환경에서 100% 폐사하였고, 폐사어 중 57% 이상이 PCR 양성 반응을 나타내었다. PstⅠfragment의 염기서열 비교에서 pearl gourami와 dwarf gourami에서 분리한 iridoviruses는 중국의 mandarinfish (Siniperca chuatsi)에서 분리된 infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV)와 99% 이상의 매우 높은 상동성을 나타내었다.
