  • Waste concentration and waste generation rate in seawater aquaria by common conger (Astrocongey myriaster) and olive flounder (Paralichyhus olivaceus) were investigated. The initial fish density of common conger and olive flounder were $3{\%}\;and \;2.8{\%}$ of total weight of aquarium water, respectively Wastes in the seawater aquaria, such as protein, total suspended solid (TSS), ammonia, turbidity and chemical oxygen demand (COD) increased with days after stocking. Protein generation rate of common conger increased until 1 day after stocking while that of olive flounder increased until 3 days. The average protein generation rates of common conger and olive flounder were $0.28g/kg{\cdot}day\;and\;0.21g/kg{\cdot}day$, respectively. The trends of other waste generation rate were similar to protein generation rate.

  • Hyphessobrycon eques is a famous fish for ornamental fish market and aquarium. They are inhabit in regions of Amazon and Paraguay River basin. Serpae fishs were investigated 2-3 males are chased to female, and then males attempted to simulate the females abdomen. After fertilization, eggs were kept in incubators at $28^{\circ}C$. The fertilized eggs had adhesive and demesal characteristics and had a mean diameter of $0.92{\pm}0.01mm$. Larvae hatched at 16 hrs post fertilization. The hatched larvae averaged $2.90{\pm}0.16mm$ in total length ($L_T$). Complete yolk sac resorption and mouth opening occurred on the third day post hatching. At 45 days post hatching, the larvae were $12.5{\pm}1.60mm$ $L_T$ and had reached the juvenile stage.

  • This study was performed to have an effect on control the growth of algae such as "Actinastrum fluviatile" which occurs frequently in the aquaculture tank using by a cold plasma, and it also would be expected to promote the growth of water plants due to active element causing OH radicals in the water. In addition, it was verified on the death rate as 99.9% on the scale protrusion of "Aeromonas hydrophila" as well as E. coli, especially, under extreme conditions more than 100 million pathogenic bacterium in the aqua pet tank, the ornamental fish had to act in a safe and healthy environment at over 98% death rate within 48 hours. It has been proven to give no affect on aerobic bacteria that exist in the filter or soil because there was no residual toxicity in the water tank. As the results, it will help to develop and apply on the sterilization device in other industries as well as aquarium organisms due to adopted energy-saving algorithm and reliability in use.

  • 전남대학교 수의과대학에서는 조류 blue-green algae를 먹이로 하여 간질의 중간숙주인 애기물달팽이를 실험실에서 유지시켜 왔으나 조류의 배양에 어려움이 많아서 보다 간편하면서 달팽이의 번식에도 좋은 방법을 고안하고자 노력하였다. $28.5{\times}17{\times}18cm$ 크기의 유리수조에 모래를 1.5cm 높이로 깔고 10개의 꼬막껍질을 그 위에 올려놓은 다음 4리터의 증류수를 부어넣었다. 야외에서 채집한 달팽이의 난괴를 부화시켜 얻은 0.63cm 크기의 어린 달팽이 45마리를 세 그룹으로 나누어 세 개의 수조에서 $20^{\circ}C$의 온도를 유지하면서 사육하였고 먹이로 상추잎을 넣어주었다. 매주 수조바닥의 물 $2{\ell}$를 흡인하여 갈아주면서 상추잎을 바꿔넣었고, 계속해서 공기를 통과시켜 산소를 공급하였다. 이와 동일한 방법으로 실험실에서 조류로 사육하던 17대의 달팽이를 사육하여 그 성적을 비교하였던 바 야외에서 채집한 달팽이의 성장률이 실험실에 적응된 것들에 비하여 약간 떨어졌으나 생존율이나 산란율에서는 큰 차이가 인정되지 않았다. 그래서 1년이 넘도록 이 방법으로 달팽이를 사육하면서 간질의 피낭유충을 생산하고 있다. 꼬막껍질은 서서히 분해하면서 달팽이의 각을 형성하는 물질을 제공하여 생존율을 높게 한 것으로 생각된다. 그리고 수조를 햇볕이 드는 창문 가까이에 놓아두었기 때문에 조류가 자생하여 적은 양이나마 달팽이의 먹이가 되었을 것으로 보인다.

  • Eggs and larval development of Chelon affinis were reared and observed in the laboratory with parent fishes obtained in the Minrak fish market Pusan on March, 1997. The spawned eggs of the species are transparent, round, separated, floated, and their diameters were varied within 0.95$\~$1.06 mm. Hatching began about 73 hours after spawning at $16.0^{\circ}C$. The newly hatched larvae were 1.72$\~$1.92 mm in total length with 19 myomeres, mouth and unopened anus, rod shape melanophores distributed in body. The larvae absorbed yolk material completely in 5 days after hatching and became postlarvae.

  • We investigated the reproductive behavior of Octopus minor, order Octopoda, class Cephalopoda under laboratory conditions. Each mature female octopus was kept in an aquarium with a plastic tube for shelter, and one mature male was introduced for the purpose of copulation. Before spawning, the female coated the roof of the shelter with a light-green material, upon which it then fixed its eggs one by one. This spawning behavior lasted 1 to 3 days. Fertilized females spawned 54 eggs on average, ranging from 21 to 112 eggs at 72 to 98 days after copulation. The attached eggs were 18.1-19.0 mm in length, 5.0-6.1 mm in width, and 0.30-0.38 g in weight. The mother octopods did not feed; they attended to the eggs by using their arms to rub the egg surfaces and used their funnel to blow sediments off of the eggs. At water temperatures of $20.9-21.5^{\circ}C$, the fertilized eggs hatched within 73 to 90 days after being spawned. The effective cumulative water temperature was $1,569-1,892^{\circ}C$. At the end of incubation, the body weight of the mother octopods was reduced to approximately 56% of the initial weight, and most mother octopods died soon after the young hatched.

  • Little is known about the movements of finless porpoises Neophocaena asiaeorientalis and their relationship with sea surface temperature (SST). A female finless porpoise that was stranded alive on the shore at Busan was rehabilitated for 16 months at the Sea Life Busan Aquarium. The porpoise was released off Geoje Island with a satellite tag on her mid-ridge and tracking data were received for 7 days. The porpoise moved directly to the southern shore of Gadeok Island, where an earlier study reported that finless porpoises were most abundant around the island. The tracking route revealed two other potential primary habitats. The porpoise moved to the middle of the east coast of the Korean Peninsula at Uljin, beyond the distribution boundary known from earlier studies. Satellite infrared images detected a cold water mass off the Uljin coast and the tracking route showed that the porpoise avoided this low-temperature area.

  • To study the influence of light intensity on blind-side hypermelanosis of starry flounder, Platichthys stellatus, we compared growth, glucose, cortisol, ratio of malpigmented blind-side area, ambicolored fish ratio and expression of mch mRNA for 60 days in 0 lux(darkness) and 20 lux(low light density). The test was done in duplicate at 50 fish/tank with the selected ordinary juvenile flounder. The rearing was performed in FRP aquarium tanks ($H100cm{\times}L100cm{\times}W100cm$). Growth was higher in the 0 lux. The ratio of malpigmented blind-side area and ambicolored fish ratio were significantly higher at the 0 lux than at the 20 lux. The result suggests that 20 lux could inhibit the hypermelanosis. The expression level of MCH 1, 2 mRNA was significantly lower in 0 lux, indicating that MCH 1, 2 and light intensity are related to blind-side hypermelanosis of starry flounder.

  • The development of computer graphics techniques came after development of various entertainment industry such as movies, game and so on, and techniques that make diverse objects in virtual space and control the action of objects are growing rapidly. Especially objects(characters) play an important role in encouraging virtual space at computer animation field. If lots of objects are animated in virtual space, undesired matters of fixed topography or collision between objects etc occur. In order to solve this problem, we need control techniques in detail. This paper presents and implements collision evasion with submarine topography in a virtual aquarium and control technique about collision evasion with other objects.

  • In this paper, the designed fish robot is researched and developed for aquarium underwater robot. This paper is a study on how the outside technology merely to find the location of fish robots without specific sensor or internal devices. This model is designed to detect the position of the Robotic Fish in the Mat lab and Simulink. This intends to recognize the shape of the tank via a video device such as a camera or camcorder using an image processing technique to identify the location of the robotic fishes. Here, we are applied the two methods, one is Hom - Schunk Method and second one is newly proposed method that is the comparing image data algorithm. The Horn - Schunck Method is used to obtain the velocity for each pixel in the image and the comparing image data algorithm is proposed to obtain the position with comparing two video frames and assumes a constant velocity in each video frame.
