This study was performed to natural infection of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis and mortalities of two fish species were compared at 10${^{\circ}C}$ and 17${^{\circ}C}$ after artificial infection with the parasite. Subsequently compared to motality by the artificial infection with the different parasite orgin of host at 17${^{\circ}C}$ using rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss. The prevalence of Ichthyophthirius multifiliis in cherry salmon was higher than that in rainbow trout during the periods of low temperature but no difference in high temperature season. The parasite was not detectable in culturing water and detritus except May that of density has been high. Susceptibility to the parasite was higher in cherry salmon than in rainbow trout at 10${^{\circ}C}$ of water temperature but no difference between two fish species at 17${^{\circ}C}$. When rainbow trout were infected with Ichthyophthirius multifiliis from rainbow trout and cherry salmon at 17${^{\circ}C}$, there was no difference in death of host. These results suggest that cherry salmon have higher susceptibility to Ichthyophthirius multifiliis than rainbow trout at low temperature.

Our research on juvenile Oncorhynchus masou masou in oyster mushroom supplemented diet was studied to investigate the effect of feeding. Mixing of feed ingredients for dried oyster mushrooms, 3.5, 7.0, 10.5, 14.0 (%) was added to the amount of oyster mushroom dietary beta-glucan content of the more abundant. After the weight of feed given to salmon survey oyster mushrooms diet for 3.5 to 7.0% was similar to the formula feed and the weight of the fish ate oyster mushroom feed over 10.5% were reduced. The oyster mushroom of the experimental diets containing 3.5 to 7.0 percent hepatosomatic index and feed coefficient figure was similar to those of the formulated diets. Therefore we have juvenile cherry salmon fed diets containing 3.5 to 7.0% was considered good to eat and additional research on the immune response will be carried out was necessary.

Diphyllobothrium latum infection in human is not common in Korea and only thirty seven cases have been reported since 1921. We report two cases of fish tapeworm infection after ingestion of raw cherry salmon (Oncorgynchus masou) caught in the domestic river. Among four family members who ate together raw salmon flesh six months ago, just two, mother and daughter were infected. It is our expectation that the salmon associated tapeworm infections would be enlisted as one of the major parasitic problems with the growing consumption of salmon in Korea.

Characteristics of sex ratio and morphometric traits of induced allotriploid between female rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss and male cherry salmon, O. masou were performed. Sex ratios in both rainbow trout and cherry salmon were equally 1:1, while hybrid and allotriploid revealed higher proportion of male offspring (p<0.01). Body trait measurements of allotriploid in head hight/head length, length of dorsal fin base/body length and length of pectoral fin/body length were intermediate to their parental species, while in length of upper jaw/head length, allotriploid much more resembled that of rainbow trout. These facts proved that allotriploidization improved characters in sex ratio and morphometric traits compared to those o their parental species.

This study determined the optimum feeding frequency for the growth of juvenile cherry salmon (Oncorhynchus masou). Triplicate groups of fish (initial mean weight 19.1 g) were fed extruded pellets at four feeding frequencies for 50 days: once every 2 days, once a day, twice a day, and three times a day. The mean water temperature during the feeding trial was $17.9{\pm}1.59^{\circ}C$. The survival of all groups was 100%. The final fork length of fish fed twice a day was significantly greater than that of the other groups (P<0.05). The weight gain of fish fed two and three times daily was significantly greater than that of fish fed once a day or every 2 days (P<0.05). The daily feed intake increased significantly with feeding frequency (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the weight gain of fish fed two or three times a day. The feed efficiency of fish fed once every 2 days was highest (P<0.05), and the feed efficiency of fish fed two or three times a day was significantly higher than that of fish fed once a day (P<0.05). The results of this study indicated that the optimum feeding frequency for the growth of juvenile cherry salmon is twice a day, while the feeding efficiency of fish fed once every 2 days was best.

The complete sequences of mtDNA control regions of six salmonines were determined: 1089 bp in lenok (Brachymystax lenok); 999 bp in cherry salmon (Oncorhynchus masou masou) and Ishikawa's cherry salmon (O. masou ishikauiae); 1002 bp in chum salmon (O. keta), and 1003 bp in rainbow trout (O. mykiss) and an albino mutant of rainbow trout. The estimated interspecific sequence divergences from PCR/direct sequencing data ranged from 5.42% to 16.49%. The organization of this region is similar to that of other vertebrates. A 81 bp tandemly repeated sequence, associated with length variation was observed in the 3' end of the salmonids control region in this study. In addition, The phylogenetic tree based on the control region sequences supported that cherry salmon was closer to chum salmon than to rainbow trout, while lenok was most distantly related species among six salmonines.

Morphometrical data for diploid and induced triploid cherry salmon, Oncorhynchus masou were analyzed prior to the spawning season to compare their commercial values. The following traits were measured with the diploids and induced triploids : ungutted and gutted body weight; body length; dressing percentage; condition factor; gonad weight and gonad index; belly thickness; viscera weight; viscera index; body circumference at the pelvic, dorsal and anal fins; area of the cross sections at the pelvic and dorsal fins; two belly thickness traits measured on each cross section; total height, height and width of each cross section; three body shape traits; and nine cross section shape traits. Body length and body weight of diploids were larger than those of induced triploids and dressing percentage, gonad weight, gonad index, viscera index, and liver index were also larger in diploids. However, induced triploids showed higher values in one belly thickness trait and some section shapes than diploids. Differences in body traits were due to the sterility of induced triploids. Therefore, induced triploid cherry salmon appears to have greater potentials for the commercial values than their diploids.

Triploid cherry salmon (Oncorhynchus masou) were induced by the heat shocking treatment of fertilized eggs 10 minutes post fertilization at $28^{\circ}C$ for 15 minutes. Haematological and physiological characteristics of diploid and the induced triploid fish were examined just before the spawning period. Triploids had significantly lower concentrations of circulating red blood cells than that of diploids (P<0.01). However, oxygen consumption, hematocrit, hemoglobin, RBC, and mean concentration of hemoglobin within the RBC of triploids were higher than those of diploids. The concentrations of total protein, albumin and cholesterol from triploids were also higher than those from diploids.

Induction of hybrid and allotriploid between female rainbow trout, oncorhynchus mykiss and male cherry salmon, O. masou were performed. Triploid rate in allotriploid was 92% and the survival rates of allotriploid exceeded that of their hybrid counterparts. Karyological studies revealed that the hybrid had exactly the same intermediate diploid karyotypers as that of two parental species, while allotriploid had two sets of the maternal haploid complement and one set of the paternal haploid complement. Hybrid revealed an intermediate size in celluar and nuclear size of erythrocyte, while allotriploid revealed larger cellular and nuclear size of erythrocytes than hybrid. The number of nucleolar organizer regions of hybrid were 1 or 2, while those of allotriploids were 1, 2 or 3. These results proved that allotriploidization can lead to increase cytogenetical characters compared to counterpart hybridization.

Seed production of the cherry salmon, Oncorhynchus masou (Brevoort) were studied in terms of egg development, hatching rate, juvenile growth, smolt duration, smolt rate, and adult growth rates. Fork length and body weight of $0^+$ juvenile were $9.32{\pm}1.19\;cm$ and $9.36{\pm}3.50\;g$ for females and $9.07{\pm}1.02\;cm$ and $8.57{\pm}3.04\;g$ for males, respectively. Body weights of $1^+$ smolt were $84.09{\pm}18.1\;g$ and $86.33{\pm}41.2\;g$ for females and males, while body weights of $1^+$ parr were $101.88{\pm}60.9\;g$ and $98.38{\pm}39.6\;g$ for females and males, respectively. Monitoring of gonadosomatic index (GSI) confirmed that maturations of both sexes were not synchronous; males achieved highest GSI in September, while females achieved it in October.
