Quaternary ammonium compounds(QACs)가 뱀장어의 면역반응에 미치는 영향을 측정하기 위해서 뱀장어의 혈액으로부터 림프구를 분리하여 증식능을 측정하였으며 또한 신장으로부터 탐식세포를 분리하여 탐식능, pinocytosis 및 superoxide anion활성능 등을 측정하였다. 림프구의 증식능은 mytogen(T-cell mitogen: ConA and PHA, B-cell mitogen: LPS) 및 QACs처리농도에 따라 별다른 차이를 보이지 않았다. 한편 신장 유래의 대식세포의 세균살해능은 QACs첨가농도에 따라 유의성 있게 증가되었다. 이러한 결과는 QACs이 작동대식세포로의 분화 및 활성을 촉진시켜서 탐식능, pinocytes 및 superoxide생성 등의 분비를 증가시킨 것으로 사료된다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 QACs가 어체의 면역반응에 관여하는 작용기전은 면역작동세포의 수를 증가시키기보다는 세포의 기능활성을 증강시킴을 알 수 있다.

Dermatan sulfate (DS) was isolated from eel skin (Anguilla japonica) bv actinase and endonuclease digeslions followed by ${\beta}$-elimination reaction and DEAE-Sephacel chromatography. DS was a major glycosaminoglycan in eel skin with 88% of the total uronic acid. The content of IdoA2S$\alpha$1longrightarrow4GalNAc4S sequence in eel skin. which is known to be a binding site to heparin cofactor II. was two times higher than that of dermatan sulfate from porcine skin. The anti-lla activity of eel skin dermatan sulfate mediated through heparin cofactor ll(NCL) was 25 units/mg. whereas DS from porcine skin shows 23.2 units/mg. The average molecular weight was determined as 14 kDa by gel chromatography on a TSKgel G3000SWXL column. Based on H1 NMR spectroscopy. we suggest that 3-sulfated and/or 2.3-sulfated ldoA residues are present in the chain.

This study investigated the genetic determinants of plasmid-mediated antibiotic resistance (PMAR) to quinolones and tetracycline in 106 Aeromonas strains isolated from eel (Anguilla japonica, 70 strains) and ornamental fish (36 strains) in Korea. Quinolones and tetracycline resistance phenotypes were found to be widely distributed throughout the both fish groups. However, the prevalence of qnr and tet genes was higher in ornamental fish strains than in eel strains (42.9% vs. 86.1% for qnr and 51.4% vs. 69.4% for tet). In addition, the profiling of the present genetic determinants revealed the dominance of qnrS, tetA, tetE and tetE+qnrS genes for eel strains but of tetA+qnrS qnrS and tetE+qnrS genes for ornamental fish strains. These results indicate that aquaculture and related industries could be a major threat to public health due to the possible spread of PMAR.

Morphologically similar fish species were subjected to the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis using universal rice primer (URP). The fish species tested were sea basses (Lateolabrax japonicus and L. maculatus), eels (Anguilla japonica, A. bicolor bicolor, A. rostrata, and A. anguilla), and flounders (Limanda yokohamae and L. herzensteinin). Highly reproducible RAPD patterns were observed with several potential species-specific markers. The results indicate that RAPD technique using URP is useful for distinguishing fish psecies in a rapid manner.

2017~2018년에 거쳐 인천 및 경기지역 뱀장어 양식장 4개소를 대상으로 질병 예찰 및 모니터링을 실시한 결과, 특징적으로 아가미울혈증상을 동반한 질병이 빈번히 발생하였다. 이 질병은 크기에 상관없이 발생하지만 입식 후 3개월 이내의 당년생 뱀장어에서 감염 빈도와 누적 폐사율이 높게 나타났다. 감염어는 새변의 중심정맥동(CVS)의 심한 울혈과 팽창, 간과 신장 조직의 출혈 등과 같은 병리조직학적 감염 특성을 보였다. 또한 아가미 혈관내피세포의 핵과 세포질에서 정이십면체 구조를 가진 직경 70 nm 전후의 바이러스 입자가 관찰되었다. PCR에 의한 분자생물학적 진단법과 유전자 분석을 통해 이 질병의 원인 병원체는 일본에서 주로 보고한 뱀장어바이러스성내피세포괴사증(VECNE)의 원인체인 JEECV로 밝혀졌다. 본 연구는 국내 뱀장어 양식장에서 JEECV 및 VECNE 감염특성을 밝힌 첫 보고이다.

소음 스트레스로 인한 뱀장어(Anguilla japonica)의 영향을 파악하기 위하여 스트레스 지표로 사용되는 코티졸, 포도당, 알부민 및 glucocorticoid receptor(GCR) 유전자의 발현 양을 측정, 분석하여 노출되지 않은 대조구와 비교하였다. 그 결과, 알부민은 노출 1시간 후에 낮은 값을 보인 반면 코티졸과 포도당은 대조구에 비해 매우 큰 차이를 보이며 높게 나타났다. GCR 유전자의 조직 발현 결과 간, 아가미, 근육 및 소장에서 많이 발현하였다. 소음 노출에 따른 시간의 변화에서 간과 아가미 근육과 소장에서 발현이 감소하는 양상을 나타내었다. 실험결과 뱀장어의 glucocorticoid receptor 유전자의 발현변화가 소음 스트레스로 인한 영향을 파악하는데 유용한 지표가 될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary arachidonic acid (AA, 20:4n-6) levels on growth performance and body composition in juvenile eel, Anguilla japonica. Six semi-purified experimental diets were formulated to be isonitrogenous and iso-caloric containing 55.0% crude protein and 15% crude lipid (18.3 kJ of available energy $g^{-1}$). Six different levels of AA were added to the basal diet, with 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 or 1.2% on a dry matter (DM) basis, respectively ($AA_{0.07},\;AA_{0.22},\;AA_{0.43},\;AA_{0.57},\;AA_{0.78}\;or\;AA_{1.23}$). After a conditioning period, fish initially averaging 27${\pm}$0.5 g (mean${\pm}$SD) were randomly distributed into each aquarium as triplicate groups of 20 fish each. One of six experimental diets was fed on a DM basis to fish in three randomly selected aquaria at a rate of 2-3% of total body weight twice a day. At the end of the 12-week feeding trial, weight gain (WG) and feed efficiency (FE) of fish fed $AA_{0.78}$ and $AA_{1.23}$ diets were significantly higher than of fish fed $AA_{0.07},\;AA_{0.22},\;AA_{0.43}$ diets (p<0.05). Specific growth rate (SGR) of fish fed the $AA_{0.78}$ diet was significantly higher than of fish fed $AA_{0.07},\;AA_{0.22},\;AA_{0.43}$ diets (p<0.05). However, there were no significant differences in WG, SGR and FE among fish fed $AA_{0.57},\;AA_{0.78}\;or\;AA_{1.23}$ diets (p>0.05). Whole body AA deposition of fish fed the $AA_{1.23}$ diet was significantly higher than for the other diets (p<0.05). Broken-line model analysis on the basis of WG and SGR indicated that the dietary AA requirement could be greater than 0.69% but less than 0.71% of the diet in juvenile eel. The growth-promoting activity of AA observed in the present study provides strong support for the contention that dietary AA is essential for juvenile eel.

This study was conducted to re-evaluate the dietary vitamin C requirement in juvenile eel, Anguilla japonica by using L-ascorbyl-2-monophosphate (AMP) as the vitamin C source. Five semi-purified experimental diets were formulated to contain 0 ($AMP_0$), 30 ($AMP_{24}$), 60 ($AMP_{52}$), 120 ($AMP_{108}$) and 1,200 ($AMP_{1137}$) mg AMP $kg^{-1}$ diet on a dry matter basis. Casein and defatted fish meal were used as the main protein sources in the semi-purified experimental diets. After a 4-week conditioning period, fish initially averaging $15{\pm}0.3$ g (mean${\pm}$SD) were randomly distributed to each aquarium as triplicate groups of 20 fish each. One of five experimental diets was fed on a DM basis to fish in three randomly selected aquaria, at a rate of 3% of total body weight, twice a day. At the end of the feeding trial, weight gain (WG) and specific growth rate (SGR) for fish fed $AMP_{52}$ and $AMP_{108}$ were significantly higher than those recorded for fish fed the control diet (p<0.05). Similarly, feed efficiency (FE) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) for fish fed $AMP_{52}$ were significantly higher than those for fish fed the control diet (p<0.05). Broken-line regression analysis on the basis of WG, SGR, FE and PER showed dietary vitamin C requirements of juvenile eel to be 41.1, 41.2, 43.9 and 43.1 (mg $kg^{-1}$ diet), respectively. These results indicated that the dietary vitamin C requirement could range from 41.1 to 43.9 mg $kg^{-1}$ diet in juvenile eel when L-ascorbyl-2-monophosphate was used as the dietary source of vitamin C.

We investigated the effects of temperature changes on the oxygen consumption rhythm in Japanese eels, Anguilla japonica, using an automatic intermittent flow respirometer (AIFR). The endogenous rhythm of the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) in the eels (n = 18; 44-74 cm, 145-690 g), freshly collected by bag net from estuaries, was nearly synchronous with the tidal pattern of the estuarine collection site. The magnitude of mean OCR (mOCR) of eels showed variable range of 82.2 - 116.5 ml $O_2\;kg^{-1}ww \;h^{-1}$ under constant conditions. In case of increasing temperature from 25 to $38^{\circ}C$, the OCR of eels exhibited a gradually increasing trend with a rhythmic pattern until $36^{\circ}C$. Above $36^{\circ}C$ the rhythms of the OCR dampened and the OCR decreased rapidly at around $36-37^{\circ}C$. The OCR of the eels exhibited the maximum value at $38^{\circ}C$, and then it sharply decreased. The results suggested that the critical thermal maximum (CTM) regarding the endogenous rhythms of the eels was at around $36-37^{\circ}C$ when water temperature increased at $0.5^{\circ}C$/14 h following the acclimation at $25^{\circ}C$. In case of decreasing temperature ($0.5^{\circ}C$/14 h) from 25 to $0^{\circ}C$, the OCR of the eels displayed a abrupt decrease up to $23^{\circ}C$, and between at 23 and $20^{\circ}C$, there was an agitation which showed a slight increase in the OCR with a duration of 1-2 days. Below $9^{\circ}C$, the OCR rhythm of the eels showed a constant state regardless of temperature decreasing. These results suggest that the Japanese eel has an upper incipient lethal temperature at $36^{\circ}C$, with a lower thermal limit at $9^{\circ}C$. The biochemical aspects of the eels influenced by water temperature need to be further studied.

경남 김해 명지 양어장에서 사육중이던 뱀장어(평균체중 20g)에 Vibrio anguillarum vaccine을 주사하여 일정기간이 경과한 뒤 생균을 감염시켜 뱀장어의 면역효과를 조사하였다. 이 실험에서 사용된 vaccine은 $25^{\circ}C$로 조절된 $0.3\%$의 formalin에 24시간 방치하여 사균화시킨 formalin-killed vaccine, $121^{\circ}C$에서 3분 및 15분간 가열한 vaccine등 3종류의 vaccine이다. 이 3종류의 vaccine을 접종했을 때 효과의 차이와 formalin-killed vaccine의 접종 시 온도와 접종농도에 따른 효과를 조사했으며 booster접종의 필요여부도 검토했다. 1984년 12월 4일부터 85년 4월 30일까지 실시한 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 수온 $15^{\circ}C$에서 $23^{\circ}C$의 범위까지 항체생산에 의한 응집력가는 수온이 높을수록 높게 나타났고, $23^{\circ}C$와 $28^{\circ}C$에서는 응집력가는 별차이가 없었다. 2. 사균 vaccine 접종양을 $10^7cells/$미로 주사하면 면역능력이 아주 미비하였고, $10^8cells/$미에서 강한 면역능력을 획득했다. 그러나 $10^9cells/$미로 증가시켜도 $10^8cells/$미 때와 유사하였다. 3. $10^8cells/$미를 2회 접종시켰을 때 1회만 접종시켰을 때보다 효과가 훨씬 좋았으나 3회 접종시켰을 때는 2회 접종구와 면역효과의 차이가 없었다. 4. formalin으로 처리된 사균 vaccine이 완전면역을 나타내었으며 $121^{\circ}C$로 열처리한 vaccine의 경우는 면역효과가 약했다.
