Monthly changes of the gonad follicle index (GFI), reproductive cycle, egg-diameter composition, first sexual maturity of the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, were studied based on the samples which have been collected from the intertidal zone of Poryong west coast of Korea, from January to December, 1996. C. gigas, is dioecious, while a few individuals are alternatively hermaphroditic. Monthly variation of gonad follicle index (GFI) used for determination of spawning period, coincided with the reproductive cycle. GFI increased from April when seawater temperatures gradually increased and reached the maximum in May. And then, GFI sharply decreased from June to September due to spawning. Reproductive cycle of this species can be divided into five successive stages: in females, early active stage (March to April), late active stage (April to May), ripe stage (May to August), partially spawned stage (June to September) and spent/inactive stage (September to February); in males, early active stage (February to March), late active stage (April to May), ripe stage (May to September), partially spawned stage (June to September) and spent/ inactive stage (September to February). The diameter of fully mature eggs are approximately 50um. Spawning occurred from June to September, and two spawning peaks were observed in June and August when the seawater temperature was above $20^{\circ}C$. Percentages of the first sexual maturity of males of 20.1-25.0 mm in shell height were over $50\%$, while those of females of 25.1-30.0 mm in shell height were over $50\%$. All the males of > 30.1 mm and all the females of ^gt; 35.1 mm completed their first sexual maturity. The results suggest that C. gigas has a protandry phenomenon. Sex ratios of 919 oysters observed were 453 females $(49.29\%)$, 429 males $(46.68\%)$, 16 hermaphrodites $(1.74\%)$, and 21 indeterminate individuals $(2.29\%)$. In age class I, sex ratio of males were $64.00\%$, thus, a higher percentage than that of females. It was noted that $64.00\%$ of the young males (age class I) were more functional than females in age class I, but 2-3 year-old oysters showed higher percentage of females. Percentages of hemaphrodites in 2-3 year classes were relatively higher than those in other year classes. Histological pattern of hermaphrodites can be divided into two types: Type I (hermaphrodite having a number of newly formed developing oocytes on the oogenic tissues within a degenerating spermatogenic follicle after discharge of numerous spermatozoa) and Type II (hermaphrodite having two separate follicles in the same gonad).

Although schistosomicidal drugs and other control measures exist, the advent of an efficacious vaccine remains the most potentially powerful means for controlling this disease. In this study, native fatty acid binding protein (FABP) from $Fasciola$ $gigantica$ was purified from the adult worm's crude extract by saturation with ammonium sulphate followed by separation on DEAE-Sephadex A-50 anion exchange chromatography and gel filtration using Sephacryl HR-100, respectively. CD1 mice were immunized with the purified, native $F.$ $gigantica$ FABP in Freund's adjuvant and challenged subcutaneously with 120 $Schistosoma$ $mansoni$ cercariae. Immunization of CD1 mice with $F.$ $gigantica$ FABP has induced heterologous protection against $S.$ $mansoni$, evidenced by the significant reduction in mean worm burden (72.3%), liver and intestinal egg counts (81.3% and 80.8%, respectively), and hepatic granuloma counts (42%). Also, it elicited mixed $IgG_1/IgG_{2b}$ immune responses with predominant $IgG_1$ isotype, suggesting that native $F.$ $gigantica$ FABP is mediated by a mixed Th1/Th2 response. However, it failed to induce any significant differences in the oogram pattern or in the mean granuloma diameter. This indicated that native $F.$ $gigantica$ FABP could be a promising vaccine candidate against $S.$ $mansoni$ infection.

몇 가지 수도품종에 대한 산란선호성의 차이, 또는 산란선호성과 품종의 몇 가지 외형적 특성과의 관계를 알아보기 위해 본 실험을 실시하였다. (1) 품종에 따라 산란선호성에 현저한 차리가 있었는데 그중 산란선호성이 비교적 큰 품종은Tongil (Suweon 213-1), Yushin, Jinheung 및 TKM-6이었고 비교적 낮은 품종은 IR-26, IR-747, Rexoro 및 Juckna이었다. (2) Tongil, TKM-6 및 Rexoro 세 품종 중 산란선호성이 가장 높은 품종은 Tongil이었고 다음이 TKM-6, 가장 낮은 품종이 Rexoro품종이었는데 그 경향은 주당경수가 일정할 때나 차이가 있을 때나 일치하였다. (3) 산란선호성과 공시품종의 주당경수, 초장, 엽의 폭과 길이 및 경의 굵기와는 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. (4) 산란선호성의 기작은 품종의 외형적 특성을 검토하기 보다는 오히려 품종의 해부학적 또는 생리화학적인 면에서의 검토가 필요할 것으로 생각되었다.

Korean bullhead (Pseudobagrus fulvidraco) was collected from the Kum River areas of Kangkyung-eup, Nonsan city, Chungcheongnam-do, Korea, from April to June, 2012 and was fertilized in order to observe egg development and temperature-related cleavage rates and mitotic intervals (${\tau}_0$). The fertilized eggs were separative, demersal and light yellowish with $1.5{\pm}0.06mm$ in diameter, and did not contain oil globules. The first cleavage stages were 90 min, 80 min, 60 min and 50 min at $21^{\circ}C$, $24^{\circ}C$, $27^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively. At higher temperatures, eggs developed faster and underwent further identical development. For Korean bullhead, ${\tau}_0$ were $33.4{\pm}2.08$ min at $21^{\circ}C$, $31.5{\pm}3.06$ min at $24^{\circ}C$, $28.1{\pm}2.11$ min at $27^{\circ}C$ and $26.4{\pm}3.35$ min at $30^{\circ}C$. There were strong negative correlations between the $\tau_0$ and water temperatures at all points studied (Y=-1.13X+58.15, $R^2$=0.98, n=30, where Y is ${\tau}_0$ and X is temperature). The results obtained in this work will be helpful for chromosome manipulation by use of cleavage frequency data and ${\tau}_0$ data in Korean bullhead.

An experiment was conducted to investigate the annual reproductive cycle of a Korean endemic species, Acheilognathus majusculus, from Jeokseong-myeon located in Seomjin River. The reproductive cycle is examined histologically regarding water temperature and day length of the habitat, the gonadosomatic index (GSI), the female ovipositor length index (OLI), monthly variation in egg diameter distribution, and developmental characteristics of female and male gonads. The maximum GSI was found in $19.21{\pm}2.32$ and $6.90{\pm}0.53$ for female and male respectively when water temperature ($14^{\circ}C$) and day length (11.1hr) began to rise. On the other hand, the minimum level was reached during August ($1.87{\pm}0.67$ for female and $0.88{\pm}0.50$ for male). No samples represent with measurable ovipositor between September and November, while the longest ovipositor length index was in April ($79.68{\pm}4.69%$). We compared and calculated the stages of testis and ovary development process in order to determine the germ cell development characteristics and the reproductive cycle. According to the result, we classified the female Acheilognathus majusculus reproductive cycle into four stages: Ripe (April) and spawning phase (May to June), degenerative phase (July), growing phase (August to December), and mature phase (January to March). The annual reproductive cycle of male Acheilognathus majusculus was categorized into five stages viz. Ripe and spawning phase (May to June), degenerative phase (July to August), resting phase (September to November), growing phase (December to February), and mature phase (March to April).

The purpose of this study was to observe characteristic properties of amalgam through the polarization curves and SEM images from 4 type amalgams (Amalcap, Shofu spherical. Dispersalloy and Tytin) with 3 different surface finish procedures (polishing, burnishing and carving) by using the potentiostats (EG & GPARC) and SEM (Jeol JSM-35). After each amalgam alloy and Hg was triturated as the direction of the manufacturer by means of mechanical amalgamator (Samki), the triturated mass was inserted into the cylndrical metal mold which was 12 mm in diameter and 10 mm in height and was pressed with $100kg/cm^2$. 4 specimens of each type amalgam were burnished with egg burnisher and another 4 specimens of each type amalgam were carved with Hollenback carver. Above 8 specimens and remaining untreated 4 specimens were stored at room temperature for about 7 days. Untreated 4 specimens of each type amalgam were polished with abrasive papers (Deer) from #400 to #1200 and finally on the polishing cloth with $0.5{\mu}m$ and $0.06{\mu}m$ $Al_2O_3 $ powder suspended water. Anodic polarization measurements was employed to compare the corrosion behaviours of the amalgams in 0.9% saline solution at $37^{\circ}C$. The open circuit potential was determined after 30 minutes immersion of specimen in electrolyte. The scan rate was 1 mV/sec and the surface area of amalgam exposed to the solution was $0.64cm^2$ for each specimen. All the potentials reported are with respect to a saturated calomel electrode (SCE). SEM images of each specimen were taken after + 800 mV (SCE) polarization. The results were as follows: 1. The corrosion potential of high copper amalgam was more anodic than that of low copper amalgam. 2. The polished amalgam were more resistant to corrosion than any other burnished and carved amalgam. 3. In the case of polishing, current density of high copper amalgam was lower than that of low copper amalgam.
