This research was conducted to investigate pollutant load unit factor from aquacultural farms. Pollutant load unit factors were investigated on the 13 kinds of fish type, i.e., Trout, Leather Carp, Eel, Carp, Cartfish, Freshwater Eel, Crucian Carp, Colored Carp, Sturgeon, Marsh Snail, Sweetfish, Pond Snail, Eriocheir Sinensis. Water qualities in aquacultural farms were investigated wide range of values by fish type and pollutant items. High BOD and COD values were observed at the Leather Carp (Ponded water system), Cartfish (Ponded water system) and Freshwater Eel (Recirculating System). TOC and DOC values were relatively high at the Freshwater Eel (Recirculating System) and Eriocheir Sinensis (Extensive). Eel (Ponded water system) and Freshwater Eel (Recirculating System) produced high concentrated nutrient pollutants, i.e., T-N, T-P. Pollutant load unit factors are dependent on fish type, aquacultural type, water quality items, etc. If some fishes have similar basic unit values, those could be applied for TMDLs as a group of fish having same pollutant load unit. The water quality concentrations of post treatment facilities' (mainly reservoir tank) effluent were higher than those of fish raising bath because of extracting pollutant from sediment in the reservoir tank. Therefore, it needs to the management and regulations about post treatment facilities.

To evaluate impacts of the construction noise, Trionyx sinensis, inland fishers aquacultural organism, were exposed to control groups (about 55 dB) and noise groups (80 dB). The survival, growth rate and feeding efficiency of the juvenile Trionyx sinensis were measured at 10, 20 and 30 days intervals (each 9 hours/day). No significant mortality occurred during the experiments, but growth rates (1.7 times) and feeding efficiency (1.83 times) showed significant reduction in time-dependent manner. Also, serum cortisol (6.7 times) and corticosterone levels (1.37 times) in noise groups significantly increased by the noise exposure, compared to the controls, In conclusion, this study may provide the fundamental knowledge on adverse effects Trionyx sinensis and apply to assessments on the impacts of aquaculture industry by construction noise.

To understand the effects of marine environmental and meteorological parameters on laver Porphyra yezoensis production at Nakdong River Estuary, we analyzed marine environmental (water temperature, salinity, nutrients, etc.) and meteorological properties (air temperature, wind speed, precipitation, sunshine hours) with yearly and monthly variations in laver production over 10 years (2003-2013). Air and water temperature, wind speed, sunshine hours and precipitation were major factors affecting yearly variability in laver production at the Nakdong River Estuary. Lower air and water temperatures together with higher levels of nutrients and sunshine and stronger wind speeds resulted in higher laver harvests. Salinity and nitrogen did not show clear correlations with laver production, mainly due to the plentiful supply of nitrogen from river discharge and the low frequency of environmental measurements, which resulted in low statistical confidence. However, environmental factors affecting monthly laver production were related to the life cycle (culturing stage) of Porphyra yezoensis and were somewhat different from factors affecting annual laver production. In November, a young laver needs lower water temperatures for rapid growth, while a mature laver needs much stronger winds and more sunshine, as well as lower temperatures for massive production and effective photosynthesis, mostly in December and January. However, in spring (March), more stable environments with fewer fluctuations in air temperature are needed to sustain the production of newly deployed culture-nets ($2^{nd}$ time culture). These results indicate that rapid changes in weather and marine environments caused by global climate change will negatively affect laver production and, thus, to sustain the yield of and predict future variability in laver production at the Nakdong River estuary, environmental variation around laver culturing farms needs to be monitored with high resolution in space and time.

It is necessary to study the material circulation of coastal ecosystem according to aquacultural activity in order to induce the sustainable production of aquaculture and the fishery environment for the useful use. Hence, it is essential to make an exact assessment for the sedimentation release flux at the sediment-water interface in the aquafarm. Sediment oxygen demand and dissolved inorganic nitrogen release fluxes were compared using in-situ and laboratory incubational examination. Sediment oxygen demands were 116, 34, and $31\;mmol\;O_2\;m^{-2}\;d^{-1}$ (in-situ incubation), 52, 17, and $15\;mmol\;O_2\;m^{-2}\;d^{-1}$ (Core incubation) and dissolved inorganic nitrogen release fluxes were 7.18, 7.98, and $1.78\;mmol\;m^{-2}\;d^{-1}$ (in-situ incubation), 3.33, 3.74, and $1.96\;mmol\;m^{-2}\;d^{-1}$ (Core incubation) at Tongyeong finfish, Yeosu finfish, and Wando abalone cage farms, respectively. Consequently, in-situ incubation results showed two times higher than laboratory examination. We compared the material flux at the sediment-water interface of each farm and the characteristics between two different kinds of material flux examination.

In order to transform the traditional aquaculture industry, which is dependent on experience, labor-intensive and natural environment, into future intelligent smart aquaculture, digital aquaculture improves aquaculture reproducibility and efficiency of production process through digitization of the aquaculture industry based on ICT equipments, Data analysis and utilization for promoted to increase the acceptability of aquaculturist. Europe's advanced fisheries countries have achieved rapid growth not only in aquaculture technology but also in the aquaculture equipment industry through digitization that combines information and communication technology with aquaculture farms. However, it is not possible to collect aquacultural data in Korea because it has not secured a Korean aquaculture industry for multi-variety, small-scale production and aquaculturists' refusal of reception for digital transformation. Therefore, this study intends to suggest the development direction of digital aquaculture to convert to intelligent smart aquaculture in the future by analyzing trends and critical technology.

In order to evaluate how the effects of aquacultural environment, such as temperature, salinity, DO, SS, Chlorophyll-a, COD and nutritive salts on Cupped oysters, an investigational study was conducted between September to December of 2011. During the study, different intermediate cage farms on the surface of the sea were used to culture and compare the growth and survival rate of the Cupped oysters in different fishing environments. The different intermediate cage farms used were Wonsando-ri, Chang-ri, and Pado-ri. In January of 2012, these oysters were transplanted to a horizontal net farm in a mudflat until July of that year. The adaptation rates of the Cupped oysters were tested at differential exposure times at varying intertidal periods. Wonsando-ri showed the highest water temperature and Chlorophyll-a levels, while the salinity was found to be within range of stable conditions among all three intermediate cage farms. Once the Cupped oysters were at the horizontal net farm, the growth was measured at distinct tidal exposure time of 1, 3, and 5 hours, whereby the growth rate was highest at 3, 1, and 5 hours, respectively. In addition, the oysters cultivated in intermediate cage farms had longer shell lengths compared to shell heights, while oysters cultured in the horizontal net farm had larger shell heights than shell lengths.

Phytoplankton community structure is one of the indicators that can explain the enviromnental characteristics of coastal waters. In this study, phytoplankton community structure and water quality of aquaculture area were investigated for understanding regional enviromnental characteristics. Thirty stations in aquaculture areas of Tongyeong, southeast coast of Korea, were investigated monthly from January to December, 2009. Phytoplankton community, meteorologic dada and enviromnent factors including temperature, salinity, transparency, nutrients and chlorophyll a were also examined. Chaetoceros spp. and unidentified small flagellates were dominant species in all the year round. Pseudo-nitzschia spp., Dictyocha spp., and Nitzschia longissima were dominant in June to October being summer season, and Skeletonema costatum, Thalassiosira spp., Eucamphia zodiacus, Akashiwo sanguinea, Gymnodinium spp. and Asterionella japonicus appeared as dominant species in the rest of months. Dinoflagellate blooms occurred 3 times in near Hansan Bay and around Saryang-do, and the highest chlorophyll a was found in Hansan Bay. Species diversity of phytoplankton was lower in Hansan and Womnum Bay, and diatom was more abundant than dinoflagellates in Mireuk-do waters. These results showed that phytoplankton community varied by the seasonal and geographical characteristics, and recent increase of water temperature and heavy rain may affect on phytoplankton community structure.

In order to establish effective procedures for chromosome manipulation in Haliotis gigantea and H. discus, which are of enormous aquacultural potential, temperature-dependent measures of mitotic intervals ($\tau$$_{0}$) were determined. Mitotic intervals ($\tau$$_{0}$) in these abalone were determined by averaging the duration of the first and third embryonic divisions over a range of temperatures from 8 to 26$^{\circ}C$. The relationships of each mitotic interval at two cell ($\tau$$_{I}$), four cell ($\tau$$_{II}$ ), eight cell ($\tau$$_{III}$), sixteen cell ($\tau$$_{IV}$ ) and $\tau$$_{0}$, to temperature (T in $^{\circ}C$) in H. gigantea were log $\tau$$_{I}$ : 176.1-28.3T, log $\tau$$_{II}$ : 199.5-12.4T, log $\tau$$_{III}$ = 236.2-12.2T, log $\tau$$_{IV}$ = 269.3-14.lT and log $\tau$$_{0}$ : 83.1-32.8, respectively. The relationships of each mitotic interval at $\tau$$_{I}$, $\tau$$_{II}$ , $\tau$$_{III}$, $\tau$$_{IV}$ and $\tau$$_{0}$, to temperature in H. discus were log $\tau$$_{I}$ = 104.9-13.8T, log $\tau$$_{II}$ : 138.3-10.5T, $\tau$$_{III}$ : 172.4-10.2T, log $\tau$$_{IV}$ : 211.3-12.2T and log $\tau$$_{0}$=85.6-33.3T, respectively. There were strong, negative correlations between mitotic interval and water temperatures for all ten temperatures in these two species (H. gigantea: Y = -138.75 logX + 341.25, $R^2$ = 0.97; H. discus: Y = -112.33 logX + 255.22, $R^2$ = 0.98, where Y is mitotic interval and X is temperature).d X is temperature).rature).
