Food garbage fermented with microbial starter was formulated to diet for the growth of juvenile flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). Two replicate groups of fish, an average weight of 4.0g, were fed the four isocaloric (19.5 MJ/kg diet) diets with different fermented food garbage levels $(0,\;5,\;10\;and\;15\%)$ for 45 days. Survival, feed efficiency, hepatosomatic index and protein efficiency ratio of fish were not affected by dietary fermented food garbage level (P>0.05). Weight gain of fish fed the diets with 5, 10 and $15\%$ fermented food garbage was significantly higher than that of fish fed the control diet (P<0.05). Condition factor of fish fed the diet with $10\%$ fermented food garbage was significantly higher than that of fish fed the control diet (P<0.05). Daily feed intake of fish fed the diets with 5 and $15\%$ fermented food garbage was significantly higher than the control diet (P<0.05). Proximate composition of whole body and plasma glucose concentration were not affected by dietary fermented food garbage level (P>0.05). These findings indicate that fermented food garbage could be utilized as a feed ingredient for juvenile flounder.

To compost the food garbage with the dry bean curd and sawdust as the bulking agents, the method of high-speed fermentation by the characteristic microorganisms group was applied. The results of experiments are summarized as follows ; 1. Korean food garbage, which is high in water content, is difficult to compost only by microorganism fermentation without the addition of bulking agents such as dry bean curd cake and sawdust. 2. Weight reduction rates are ranging from 35.6% to 64.5% and varying with the composition of food garbage. The less weight reduction rate is, the longer continuous-fermentation is. And the color of compost is changing sequentially as yellow -> brown -> black. 3. Comparing with the controlled microorganism group, the weight reduction rate and $H_2CO_3$ production rate in the characteristic microorganism group fermentation reactors are higher. And the fermentation rate is satisfactory when the characteristic microorganism group is added. 4. The value of fermented composting as fertilizer diminishes, and the contents of Total Nitrogen, $P_2O_5$, $K_2O$ increase on the condition that the fermentation continues. However, the organic contents and C/N ratio diminish as the fermentation continues. 5. The high-speed fermentation technology demonstractes the possibility of recycling as well as the reduction of composting time provided that it is applied as a pretreatment process for composting.

In this study, to determine the optimum fermentation process for the feed production of food wastes and estimate the practical value of fermented feed using kudzu creeper and sawdust as bulking agent. This study considered initial C/N ratio control as the fermentation process variables. The result are summarized as follows. Minimum water contents of byproducts in the fermentation feed production showed 39%(kudzu), 37%(sawdust) at the C/N ratio 25 and 45%(kudzu, sawdust) at the C/N ratio 35. Temperature variations in the fermentation feed production at the C/N ratio 25 indicated $68^{\circ}C$(kudzu), $70^{\circ}C$(sawdust). Optimum condition of fermentation process of water content, C/N ratio and permeability (porous structure of the mixture). For optimum fermentation gravitationally dewatered garbage, the proper mixing ratios of kudzu(moisture contents : 17.3%) and sawdust(moisture contents : 13.2%) were 41% and 39%, respectively. Major biological reaction in the aerobic fermentation feed production occurred during 12~24hrs.

Aquaculture production of Hounder has been increased in the last decade in Korea. However, moist pellet primarily made of raw fish has been used as feed for flounder. Therefore, for further expansion of flounder farming, it is essential to employ practical formulated feeds which can support reasonable growth. Several studies on nutrition (Lee et al., 2000) and utilization of some plant protein source as a substitute for fish meal (Kikuchi, 1999) have been conducted for flounder diets. (omitted)
