  • This study was conducted to develop new indoor plants and to investigate the effects of light intensity on the growth of Trachelospermum asiaticum var. intermedium Nakai and Piper kauzura. Most of T. asiaticum var. intermedium Nakai under 100 lux light intensity were blighted in two months, whereas survival rate was 83.3% after five months under 1,000 lux and 2,500 lux. Plant height, number of leaf, leaf width and leaf length increased as light intensity increased. The plants maintained under 2,500 lux showed the greatest plant height and leaf number. Piper kadzura Ohwi was defoliated and blighted in four months under 100 lux light intensity, whereas survival rate was 100% after five months under 1,000 lux and 2,500 lux. But, 1,000 lux light intensity was more favorable chlorophyll contents, leaf length and leaf width than 2,500 lux light intensity. Slight increase of chlorophyll contents and leaf growth under 1,000 lux indicates that Piper kadzura Ohwi could be utilized highly as a indoor ornamental plant.

  • This study investigated the effects of crude protein levels in diets containing monobasic potassium phosphate (MKP) on water quality and the growth of Japanese eels Anguilla japonica and leafy vegetables in a Hybrid BFT-Aquaponics (HBFT-AP) system. The first experiment (EXP1) was designed to verify the effects of the feed itself on leafy vegetable productivity using two diets (CP48 and CP30) with MKP and one commercial eel diet (COM58). The second experiment (EXP2) examined the effects of the three diets on productivity of the fish and leafy vegetables in the HBFT-AP for 6 weeks. After the 6 week feeding trial, the weight gain, feed efficiency, specific growth rate and protein efficiency ratio of fish fed COM58 and CP48 were higher than those of fish fed CP30 (P<0.05) and the growth of the four leafy vegetables was the highest with fish fed CP48. Water quality was measured six times per week using a portable water quality meter and reagent measurements and showed variance with time for TAN (0.01-0.09 mg/L), NO2-N (0.010-0.064 mg/L), NO3-N (5.52-27.15 mg/L), PO4-P (2.03-5.32 mg/L) and pH (7.86-6.15).

  • Effects of sera from several fish species on monolayer formation, viability and functions of catfish hepatocytes were investigated to establish a primary hepatocyte culture system for screening endocrine disruptors. Hepatocytes of Korean catfish (Silurus asotus) were attached and formed monolayer using the media supplemented with their own serum or sera from eel and tilapia, but not with fetal bovine serum (FBS). The amount of fish sera (0.5~3%) for monolayer culture of the catfish hepatocytes was less than 1/10 of FBS (5~20%) that is commonly used for primary culture of hepatocytes of other species. The results indicate that FBS can be replaced with sera from some fish species and the fish sera are more effective than FBS in maintaining the shape and functions of the hepatocytes. The primary culture of catfish hepatocytes was maintained monolayer with fish sera for at least 10 days, which makes possible to be used for screening the activities of endocrine disruptors. In conclusion, the primary culture system of hepatocytes with fish sera in the present study could be a useful tool for screening and studying endocrine disruptors.

  • There have been increasing cases for farmers to install automated weather stations (AWS) at their farms and orchards in order to take countermeasures to more frequent weather disasters caused by climate variability and weather extremes. Although raw data are the same, the additive values as agrometeorological information may vary depending on data processing methods. User demands on appropriate information could also be different among crop species, cropping systems and even cultivars. We designed an internet based AWS data processing and display system to help diverse users (e.g., farmers), extension workers to access their weather data on specific demands. The system was implemented at a rural catchment with 52 $km^2$ land area where 14 automated weather stations are in operation. This note introduces the system and describes the major modules in detail. By linking regional AWS networks, a feasibility for this system as an early warning system is also discussed.

  • For this study, we conducted a simultaneous multiresidue analysis of veterinary drugs in cultured fishery products in Chungnam Province in 2018. A total of 115 fishery product samples were obtained from fish farms and fishery production sites located in the province. In all, 29 residual veterinary drugs in the samples were analyzed using a validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method. As a result, veterinary drug residues were only detected in a small number of the 106 samples (92.2%), and the detection rate was 7.8% (9 of 115 samples). The amounts were also below maximum residual limit (MRL) for fishery products, although one sample exceeded the MRL allowed by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and was detected in loach. The nine residual veterinary drugs were detected in 8 samples: loach, eel, catfish, freshwater bream, flatfish, rockfish and shrimp. The detected veterinary drugs were oxolinic acid, enrofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, sulfadiazine, flumequine and oxytetracycline. The most frequently detected antibiotic was oxolinic acid, and enrofloxacin exceeded the MRL in loach sample. Residues of most veterinary drugs were either not detected or were below the MRL, and while the status of fishery products is seen as safe overall, current surveillance efforts over veterinary drugs should be continued.

  • This study was conducted to survey the catches of vertical bottom longline fisheries in the sea mount of central northern Pacific($30^{\circ}-42^{\circ}N$, $170^{\circ}-175^{\circ}E$), during the period of July 1 to August 25,2004 by commercial fishing vessel. The number of 57 test fishing was carried out in the central northern Pacific during 43 days and the total catches were 21,092.4kg as 19 fish species, CPUE/day and catches/day were 185 baskets and 490.5kg, respectively. Main fish species caught from the experimental fishing were Squalus mitsukurii (66.3%), Coelorhyrchus asperocephaius (11.7%) and Helicolenus avius (9.8%) and, average inside diameter for fish mouth was 4.0cm over. Catch ratio according to each fishing ground was the order of F, D, J, B and C. Catch ratio fur water depth was the order of 450-500m, 350-400m, 300-350m, 400-450m, 1000-1100m and 500-550m and, main species by water depth was Squalus mitsukurii for 300-400m, Etmopterus lucifer for 300-550m, Coelorhyrchus asperocephaius far 1,000m over. Catch ratio according to the kind of hooks was higher at the hook no.6 for Squalus mitsukurii and no. 5 for Etmopterus lucifer and, catch ratio by baits was higher at squid for Squalus mitsukurii, saury and eel for Helicolemus avius and saury for Etmopterus lucifer. Accordingly, it is thought that the extension of fishing hours is needed with the reduction of damage and loss for fishing gears during fishing operation.

  • The residual contents of fluoroquinolones in fish and shrimp were analyzed by using HPLC-FLD and LC-MS. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for fluoroquinolones by HPLC-FLD were 0.0030-0.0083 and 0.0090-0.0252 mg/kg, respectively. Those by LC-MS were 0.0019-0.0040 and 0.0059-0.0122 mg/kg, respectively. Recoveries regarding ofloxacin, norfloxacin, pefloxacin, ciprofloxacin and enrofloxacin ranged from 76.4-104.6%. The detection rate of fluoroquinolones was 7.5% from a total of 268 samples. In only one Korean bullhead sample, the sum of ciprofloxacin and enrofloxacin contents was detected at a higher level than its maximum residue limits (MRL) of 0.1 mg/kg. Ofloxacin, norfloxacin and pefloxacin were not detected in any samples and detection rates of ciprofloxacin and enrofloxacin were 3.4% and 6.7%, respectively. In detection rate by species eel (2.6%), loach (2.2%), Korean bullhead (1.5%), carp (0.7%) and snakehead (0.4%) were in order.

  • A selective method of high performance liquid chromatography with UV detector has been applied to determine 4 tetracycline antibiotics in the animal food, simultaneously. The targets were chlortetracycline (CTC), doxycycline (DC), oxytetracycline (OTC), and tetracycline (TC) that are used routinely in veterinary medicine for prevention and control of disease. Food samples were beef, pork, chicken, milk, whole egg, flatfish (Limanda yokohamae), jacopever (Sebastes hubbsi), seabream (Chrysophrys major), eel (Anguilla japonica) and lobster (Hommarus americanus). After extracting food samples with 20% trichloroacetic acid and McIlvaine buffer, they were purified by a $C_18$ SPE cartridge with 0.01M methanolic oxalic acid solution. The concentrated residue was re-dissolved in methanol, filtered, cleaned up and analyzed on a $C_18$ column. The mobile phase was a mixture of 0.01M oxalic acid and acetonitrile with a gradient ratio from 85:15 to 60:40. The UV wavelength was 365 nm. The overall recoveries were ranged from 71% to 98% and the limit of detections were 0.022 for CTC, 0.012 for DC and OTC and 0.009 mg/kg for TC at signal/noise > 3, respectively. As results, CTC, DC and TC were not detected in all selected food samples, however, OTC was detected in meat and fishes. The determined level of OTC was 0.04 ppm for pork, 0.17 ppm for flatfish and 0.05 and 0.08 ppm for jacopever, that were within the Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) in the food.
