The effects of low temperature and starvation on the physiochemical characteristics of the muscle of the olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus, were examined. Fish were deprived of feed for 28 days at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and $20^{\circ}C$ in order to establish suitable conditions for live fish transportation. Throughout most of the 4 weeks of feed restriction, the physiochemical characteristics of the muscle of olive flounder were found to be dependent on the acclimation temperature. The breaking strength of muscle did not show a significant reduction during feed restriction at 2 and $4^{\circ}C$. With increasing temperatures, however, the breaking strength of muscle differed significantly according to the individual and feed restriction period (P<0.05). The moisture content in muscle acclimated at 10, 12, and $20^{\circ}C$ increased steadily over the feed-restriction period, while the crude lipid content decreased during the same period (P<0.05). At water temperatures above $2-8^{\circ}C$, no significant differences were shown during the same period. After it reached 6, 8, 10, 12, and $20^{\circ}C$, the muscle had an accumulation of lactate, and a loss of ATP. There was no change in the lactate or ATP content during the feed restriction period at 2 and $4^{\circ}C$, although there were differences among the water temperature groups. These results clearly show that temperature can have an important influence on the of muscle of physiochemical characteristics of muscle during live fish transportation.

Kisspeptin has been implicated in the process of puberty onset in various animal groups. This peptide is encoded by a gene, Kiss1 in avian and mammalian species. Contrary to these higher vertebrates, however, fish appeared to have another gene, Kiss2 that also codes for the precursor peptide of kisspeptin. To figure out biological significance of this gene during the puberty onset in fish, the expression profile of Kiss2 gene was investigated in the brain of Nile tilapia together with genes of GPR54, GnRH receptorI (rGnRHI) and GTH subunits ($LH{\beta}$ and $FSH{\beta}$). Expression of Kiss2 mRNA significantly increased at 2 weeks post hatch (wph) and 13 wph ($P$<0.05). This increase coincided with the increases of GPR54 and rGnRH I gene expression. Detection of $LH{\beta}$ and $FSH{\beta}$ subunit gene expression was possible later than 13 wph, indicating the activation of gonadotrophs in the pituitary. Data obtained from this study strongly suggest that, in addition to Kiss1 gene, Kiss2 gene is deeply associated with the onset of puberty by the activation of hypothalamus pituitary gonadal axis in Nile tilapia.

After an outbreak of viral disease in an aquafarm, release of virus (es) from infected fish into environmental seawater has been suspected. In the present study, we utilized a negatively charged membrane (HA type) as an efficient method for concentration and detection of fish pathogenic viruses, specifically, megalocytivirus and viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV) present in field-collected seawater samples or inoculated into seawater artificially. Positively charged viruses adsorbed onto the negatively charged membrane and were eluted with 1 mM NaOH (pH 10.5) following rinsing with 0.5 mM $H_2SO_4$ (pH 3.0). Megalocytivirus and VHSV particles isolated using anegatively charged HA membrane from seawater inoculated with each virus at a concentration of 10 viral particles/mL were of sufficient quantity to show positive results in atwo-step PCR (or RT two-step PCR); however, despite it being negatively charged, a cellulose acetate (CA) membraneshowed negative results. In quantitative PCR, the detection limits of the HA membrane for megalocytivirus and VHSV in seawater were 1.20E+00 viral particles/mL and 1.22E+01 viralparticles/mL, respectively. The calculated mean recovery yields from 1 L seawater spiked with known concentrations of megalocytivirus and VHSV particles were 28.11% and 23.00%, respectively. The concentrate of a 1-L sample of culturing seawater from the aquatank of flounder suffering from VHSV showed clear positive results in PCR when isolated with an HA, but not a CA, membrane. Thus, viral isolation using an HA membrane is a practical and reliable method for detection of fish pathogenic viruses in seawater.

한국 양식산업에서 중요한 어종인 넙치 (Paralichthys olivaceus) 포르말린으로 처리한 E. tarda를 항원으로 하였을 때의 면역반응 분석을 위하여 ELISPOT 기법을 적정화시킨 후 넙치의 각 장기에 있는 총 항체생성세포와 특이 항체생성세포를 계수하는데 응용하고자 하였다. 전신과 비장의 항체생성세포를 2.5시간 이상 96 well plate에 배양하면 충분히 분석이 가능하였다. 그러나 총 또는 특이 항체생성세포 분석을 위하여 과량의 토끼 항 넙치 면역글로불린 또는 E. tarda 항원을 plate에 coating하는 것은 오히려 ELISPOT법의 감도를 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. ELISPOT법의 특이성은 단백질 합성 억제제인 cycloheximide를 처리한 임파세포에서 총 항체생성세포가 발견되지 않는 것으로서 입증할 수 있었다. 특이 항체생성세포 수의 최대치는 면역 3주째에 나타났으며 이후 계속 빠르게 감소하여 7주째는 거의 발견되지 않았다. 이러한 반응은 신장과 비장에서 유사하게 나타나 임파장기에 따른 차이점은 발견할 수 없었다. 면역 후 2주와 3주 사이에 혈청내 특이 항체량 또한 빠르게 증가하여 ELISPOT법으로 분석된 특이 항체생성세포 수의 변화와 일치함을 발견할 수 있었다. 그러나 증가된 혈청내 특이 항체량이 면역 5주부터 실험 종료 시점까지 계속 높은 수준으로 유지되고 있는 것은 급격한 감소를 보이는 특이 항체생성세포의 동력학적 변화와는 명확히 구별되는 점이었다.

본 연구는 교란 정도가 다른 정수역 연못에서 수서곤충 분포 특성을 이해하고자, 2018년 3월부터 2020년 6월까지 제주도 궁대오름 일대 3곳의 인공연못(연못 1, 2, 3)과 2곳의 자연연못(연못 4, 5)에서 조사를 진행하였다. 총 3목 15과 50종의 곤충이 확인되었으며, 잠자리목 4과 14종, 850 개체, 노린재목 6과 14종, 4,391 개체, 딱정벌레목 4과 22종, 2,014 개체가 확인되었다. 수서곤충의 개체수와 종의 수는 상대적으로 기존 동식물 생태계가 안정적으로 잘 조성된 자연연못에서 인공연못보다 높게 나타났다. 인공연못의 경우도 수초 등을 도입하여 재조성한 경우 개체 수와 종수가 회복되는 현상을 보였다(연못 1). 잠자리목 유충은 포식자인 대형 어류가 존재하지 않고 성충의 진입이 차단되지 않는 연못에서는 다수 발견되었다. 노린재목의 경우 식식성인 물벌레과의 곤충들이 전체적으로 많이 발견되었으며, 딱정벌레목은 식물생태계 분포에 따라 물진드기과의 개체수에 영향을 받았다. 이렇게 수서곤충상 변화에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인은 지형과 수생식물을 통한 은신처와 포식자의 존재가 가장 큰 것으로 파악되었으며, 잠자리목에서 가장 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 판단되었다. 본 결과는 향후 습지를 복원 및 인공 습지를 조성하거나 종 다양성 보전을 위한 기초 자료로 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

A growth trial was conducted to determine the optimal supplement of dietary magnesium hydrogen phosphate (MHP, $MgHPO_4$) which was manufactured from swine manure and phosphorus (P) requirements of juvenile carp Cyprinus carpio. Graded MHP of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0%, each was added to the basal diet (control) in lieu of cellulose to become the range of available P from 0.4 to 0.7%. The lowest weight gain (WG) and highest feed conversion ratio (FCR) were found in the control group (P<0.05). The group fed a diet supplemented with 2.0% MHP showed the highest WG, which was not significantly different from those of fish groups that received 1.0% and 1.5% MHP (P>0.05). The lowest FCR was observed in fish groups fed 1.5% and 2.0% MHP. Plasma inorganic P was significantly higher (P<0.05) in all fish groups fed MHP-supplemented diets than in control group. A second-order regression analysis on WG revealed that the optimum dietary MHP level and the available P (AP) requirement were found to be 1.85 and 0.66%, respectively. Expressed in terms of 'g AP intake per kg $BW^{0.8}$ per day', the AP requirement was found to be approximately 0.032 g/kg $BW^{0.8}/d$.

Magnesium hydrogen phosphate (MHP, $MgHPO_4$) recovered from swine manure was prepared as an alternative phosphorus (P) source. Conventional P additives, monocalcium phosphate (MCP), dicalcium phosphate (DCP), and tricalcium phosphate (TCP) were compared with the MHP in terms of growth and P availability by juvenile carp Cyprinus carpio. A basal diet as a negative control was prepared using practical feed ingredients without P supplementation to which four supplemental P sources were added at the level of 2%. Five groups of 450 fish having mean body weight of 6.5 g following 24 h fasting after 2 weeks of adaptation period were randomly distributed into each of 15 tanks (30 fish/tank). Fish were hand-fed to apparent satiety twice a day for 9 weeks. Fish fed the MHP had weight gain (WG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), protein efficiency ratio (PER), and specific growth rate (SGR) comparable to those fed the MCP. Those values of both the MHP and MCP groups were significantly different (p < 0.05) from the other groups. Fish groups fed control and the TCP showed the lowest WG, PER, and SGR and the highest FCR among treatments. No fish were died among treatments during the experimental period. Fish fed control and the TCP showed hematocrit and hemoglobin significantly lower (p < 0.05) than fish fed the MHP. The lowest inorganic P (Pi) in plasma was found in the control group. Even though Pi was not significantly different (p > 0.05) from other phosphate groups, fish fed the MCP and MHP retained higher P in whole body than the other groups. P availability was determined to be 93.2, 62.4, 6.1, and 98.0% for MCP, DCP, TCP, and MHP, respectively. The present results suggested that the MHP recovered from wastewater stream could be used as an alternative P source in carp diet.

During a field survey on Korean coastal marine waters, two ciliates belonging to the genera Pseudovorticella Foissner & Schiffmann, 1975 and Frontonia Ehrenberg, 1838 in the class Oligohymenophorea de Puytorac et al., 1974, were collected. Even though the two genera are very common in the aquatic ecosystems, they had been superficially studied in Korean habitats. Using the observation of living cells and specimens impregnated by protargol, silver carbonate, and silver nitrate, two newly recorded ciliate are identified as P. paramarina Sun, Ji, Warren & Song, 2009 and F. ocularis Bullington, 1939. A brief diagnosis, remark, and comprehensive micrographs are provided for each species.

Intensive animal industries create large volumes of nutrient rich effluent, which, if untreated, has the potential for substantial environmental degradation. Aquatic plants in aerobic lagoon systems have the potential to achieve inexpensive and efficient remediation of effluent, and to recover valuable nutrients that would otherwise be lost. Members of the family Lemnaceae (duckweeds) are widely used in lagoon systems, but despite their widespread use in the cleansing of sewage, only limited research has been conducted into their growth in highly eutrophic media, and little has been done to systematically distinguish between different types of media. This study examined the growth characteristics of duckweed in abattoir effluent, and explored possible ways of ameliorating the inhibitory factors to growth on this medium. A series of pot trials was conducted to test the tolerance of duckweed to abattoir effluent partially remediated by a sojourn in anaerobic fermentation ponds, both in its unmodified form, and after the addition of acid to manipulate pH, and the addition of bentonite. Unmodified abattoir effluent was highly toxic to duckweed, although duckweed remained viable and grew sub optimally in media with total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) concentrations of up to 100 mg/l. Duckweed also grew vigorously in effluent diluted 1:4 v/v, containing 56 mg TAN/L and also modified by addition of acid to decrease pH to 7 and by adding bentonite (0.5%).
