Monogeneans(Phylum Platyhelminthes) have been known as common parasites onto the skin and gills of cultured freshwater fishes. Infestation with these parasites result in a great loss in aquaculture industry. Some classification studies on these parasites have mostly been conducted in Japan but rarely in Korea. For the purpose of classifying monogenean parasites infesting two Korean freshwater fishes, carp(Cyprinus carpio) and loach(Misgurnus anguillicaudatus), samples captured from March 1998 to April 2000 were examined. Here we report that three different species of Monogeneans, Diplozoon nipponicum, Dactylogyrus extensus from carp and Gyrodactylus paralatus from loach, respectively. Of these the latter two parasites have never been identified in Korea.

Three strains of common carp, i. e. , Israeli carp, red-and-white, and golden strains, were stocked in the same pond, and their growth rates were compared with following results: From August 12 to November 21 in 1975, fingerlings of the three strains of common carp, Cyprinus carpo, each weighing about 0.5 g with total length of 2 to 3 cm, were stocked. The pond had an area of $316m^2$ with a mean water depth of 55cm, and the bottom was covered with a 20 to 30 cm thick layer of silt containing a considerable amount of decaying organic materials. Feed given was prepared with equal amounts of fish meal and polished barley, of which, in addition, $10\%$ green grass and $1\%$ table salt were mixed together when prepared into paste feed using a chopper after boiling the barley. Total protein content of the feed was $34.9\%$ in dry state with $5\%$ moisture content. Total feed given was 30.08 kg calculated in dry state to produce 20.588 kg of the common carp fingerlings, thus the feed coefficient being 1.51. By strains, the harvested Israeli carp ranged 98 to 311g each with a mean weight of $172.69g(100\%)$, red-and-white strain 15 to 318g with mean of $104.1g(60.3\%)$, and the golden strain 30 to 268g with mean of $128.7g(74.6\%)$. During the rearing season mean water temperature was $23.9^{\circ}C$ and the assumed main growth period with the water temperature above $15^{\circ}C$ was, upto the end of October, for 80 days with a mean water temperature of $23.9^{\circ}C$. Taking this main growth period as the basis for growth rate analysis, the mean daily increments, expressed as the attained body weight in times of the starting weight, become 1.075786 times (or the Israeli strain, 1.06901 times for the red-and-white strain, and 1.07185 times for the golden strain.

잉어, Cyprinus carpio와 동자개, Pseudobagrus fulvidraco의 상악 하악 수염을 조직학적으로 조사하였다. 동자개의 수염은 연골성 증축(axial rod of cartilage), 신경섬유다발(bundle of nerve fiber), 표피(epidermis), 평활근 층(smooth muscle layer) 및 미뢰(taste bud)로 구성되었으며, 잉어의 수염은 표피, 신경섬유다발, 혈관(blood vessel) 및 미뢰로 구성되었다. 수염 길이에서 잉어는 상악 바깥쪽 수염(second maxillary barbel)이 상악 안쪽 수염(first maxillary barbel) 보다 길게 나타났으며, 동자개는 하악 안쪽(inner mandibular barbel), 상악 위쪽(upper maxillary barbel), 하악 바깥쪽(outer mandibular barbel), 상악 아래쪽(lower maxillary barbel) 순으로 길게 나타났다(P<0.05). 미뢰의 수를 고려하였을 때, 동자개와 잉어간의 미각에 대한 유의적 차이가 없었다(P>0.05). 아울러, 두 어종의 모든 수염에서 수염 상부의 미뢰 수가 하부의 미뢰 수 보다 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 본 연구 결과, 동자개의 수염은 딱딱하며 굴절성인 수염(flexible and stiff type)이었으며 잉어의 수염은 연하고 유연한 수염(tender and yielding type)으로 파악되었다.

G Protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) mediating wide ranges of physiological responses is one of the most attractive targets for drug development. Rhodopsin, a dim-light photoreceptor, has been extensively used as a model system for structural and functional study of GPCRs. Fish have rhodopsin finely-tuned to their habitats where the intensity and the wavelength of lights are changed depending on its water-depth. To study the detailed molecular characteristics of GPCR architecture and to understand the fishery light-sensing system, genes encoding rod opsins were isolated from fishes living under different photic environments. Full-length rod opsin genes were obtained by combination of PCR amplification and DNA walking strategy of genomic DNA isolated from olive flounder, P. olivaceus, Japanese eel, A. japonica, and Common carp C. carpio. Deduced amino acid sequences showed a typical feature of rod opsins including the sites for Schiffs base formation (Lys296) and its counter ion (Glu113), disulfide formation (Cys110 and Cys187), and palmitoylation (Cys322 and Cys323) although Cys322 is replaced by Phe in Japanese eel. Comparison of opsins by amino acid sequence alignment indicated the closest similarity between P. olivaceus and H. hippoglossus (94%), A. japonica and A. anguilla (98%), and C. carpio and C. auratus (95%), respectively.

Organic bases in the dorsal meat of wild common carp, Cyprinus carpio, were analyzed as a part of the studies on the taste compounds of fresh-water fishes. The male and female meat showed no significant differences in contents of total creatinine, betaine, TMA and TMAO. The most abundant basic compound was total creatinine $(ca.\;400mg\%)$. The amount of betaine was poor $(ca.\;66.5mg\%)$ and TMA and TMAO were trace in content $(below\;1mg\%)$.

This study was conducted to compare sensory and nutritional and digestive properties of the Israeli carp Cyprinus carpio muscle (ICM) by size [normal large (NLF) and small (NSF) fish], part [ventral (VM) and dorsal (DM) muscle], and commercial value [NLF, recessive (RF) or deformed (DF) fish]. In NLF, the major amino acids were lysine, aspartic acid, and glutamic acid, whereas aspartic acid and glutamic acid were predominant in NSF, DM, VM, DF, and RF. Taurine content increased with fish size, and was higher in DM than in VM, and higher in NLF than in DF but lower than that in RF. Regardless of ICM size, part, and commercial value, potassium and iron were expected in the health function, but calcium and zinc were not expected. The major fatty acids present in ICM were 16:0, 18:1n-9, and 18:2n-6, regardless of size, part, and commercial value. The digestion rate of ICM by digestive organ was lower in NLF than in NSF, and lower in VM with a high lipid content than in DM, and lower in DF than in RF.

The aims of this study were to optimize the processing procedure of high-quality semi-alternating temperature dried Israeli carp Cyprinus carpio (SAD-IC) and to investigate the sensory properties of the product. Based on the differences in moisture content of the dorsal and ventral muscles, high quality SAD-IC was prepared by alternating the drying temperature between 4 h at 35℃, and 2 h at 5℃, three times before final drying for 2 h at 35℃. The surface in SAD-IC produced under the optimal alternating-temperature drying process had a markedly superior browning index value and softer texture compared to products produced using constant-temperature drying. SAD-IC produced from dorsal and ventral muscle had significantly superior taste values than the raw material. These results suggest that SAD-IC has the potential to be industrialized.

This study was conducted to compare the sensory and enzymatic properties of Israeli carp Cyprinus carpio muscle (ICM) according to size [normal large (NLF) and small fish (NSF)], part [ventral (VM) and dorsal muscles (DM)], and commercial value [NLF, recessive (RF), or deformed fish (DF)]. There was not difference in salty of all samples. The sourness was stronger in NLF and DM than in NSF, RF, and DF, and VM, respectively. The umami of ICM showed no size-associated differences; however, those of DM, and DF and RF, were superior to those of the VM and NLF, respectively. The sweetness was also stronger in NLF than in NSF and RF, and in DM than VM. The sweetness of DF didn't differ compared to those of NLF and RF. The intensity of fish odor was weaker in NSF or DF than that in NLF, and was higher in DM than in VM. The color of ICM was bright in NSF and DF compared to NLF. Enzyme activity was very low in the muscles and high in viscera. Therefore, ICM could be used as a material for seafood products, regardless of size, part, and commercial value; however, the issue of lipid oxidation must be considered.

A study was made to measure mortality and scoliosis of the fingerlings of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) which has been exposed to various concentrations of trichlorfon. Trichlorfon increased mortality of the fingerlings and it caused severe scoliosis. When exposed to 40 ppm trichlorfon for 120 hrs, $100\%$ mortality was observed. Scoliosis was observed when the fingerlings have been exposed 25 to 40 ppm trichlorfon.
