The gold-spotted pond frog(Pelophylax chosenicus) classified as an Anura in Amphibia is sharply decreasing due to various changes of habitats environment, and designated as IUCN Red List Threatened species(VU; Vulnerable) internationally and domestic endangered species Class-II; therefore, it's in urgent need of the research on habitats restoration of the gold-spotted pond frog in order to prevent its extinction. This study was carried out to verify the effect after restoration by introducing the inhabitation elements deducted by the literature research and a field survey on the habitats for the gold-spotted pond frog in danger of regional extinction in the urban area of Ansan city, Gyeonggi-do, Korea. Accordingly, the capacity for bio-species was increased by expanding the area of habitats into $11,845m^2$, and securing the place for hibernation and corridors and discharge within the habitats, etc. As a result of the monitoring the number of individuals increased by 9.5 times as the reproductive success rate of the gold-spotted pond frog got higher, and by virtue of improvement in the habitats, biodiversity increased to 183 species(4 species of amphibians and reptiles, 4 species of mammals, 17 species of birds, 53 species of insects(terrestrial/Benthic), 4 species of fish, and 102 species of plants). It might be possible to verify the restoration effect of the habitats through continuous monitoring, and suggest the restoration model on the habitats for continuously survivable the gold-spotted pond frog in the urban area by deducting the matters to be improved.

The black soldier fly is economically important because its prepupae are used as feed for many animals, including fish and swine. In Korea, black-soldier-fly farms have attempted to increase annual breeding and mass egg production for use in animal feed, as well as the decomposition of organic waste. Such efforts require an understanding of optimal mating and oviposition techniques. Specifically, adult densities and cage size may both improve the efficiency of mass egg production. Our study used four sizes of nylon cages ($1.0{\times}1.0{\times}2.5m$, $1.5{\times}1.5{\times}2.5m$, $2.0{\times}2.0{\times}2.5m$, $2.5{\times}2.5{\times}2.5m$) and three density treatments (4 kg, 8 kg, and 10 kg of pupae) to investigate optimal habitat size and adult density. We found that cage size (independent of density) did not significantly influence female fecundity (number of egg clutches and egg weight), whereas higher densities increased egg number and weight regardless of cage size. Thus, we recommend manipulating adult density to enhance productivity in commercial black-soldier-fly farming. However, we also propose further detailed research to develop methods that account for seasonal changes and environmental conditions, as climatic variables (temperature, sunlight) likely influence female fecundity as well.

Coastal fisheries in Korean waters have highly complexity with a variety of fishing gears, and scale of those fisheries is smaller than that of offshore fisheries. As a result, important spawning and nursery grounds for many species of fish has been destroyed. The pragmatic ecosystem-based approach was developed for the assessment of fisheries resources in Korean waters by Zhang et al. (2009; 2010). As for the species risk index (SRI), common squid caught by coastal gillnet in the Uljin region had the highest risk. As for the fisheries risk index (FRI), coastal gillnet in the Uljin coastal waters had the highest risk. For the common squid which had the highest SRI, resources management strategies must be established such as catch prohibition of length and period with TAC. For the coastal gillnet in the Uljin region which had the highest FRI, it is judged to need management plans for conserving biodiversity as reducing the catch of non-target species and discards. Also to protect existing habitat, illegal fishery should be prohibited, and fishing gears should be designed in the environmental-friendly way considering when fishing gears lost.

최근 경제발전과 산업화를 통한 도시화로 인하여 많은 자연하천이 심하게 훼손되고 있으며 도시하천의 경우 치수의 효율성을 강조한 하천정비를 실시함으로써 하천의 외경은 깨끗하게 바꾸어 놓았지만 그로 인한 하천생태계의 파괴가 문제점으로 대두되고 있다. 이에 따라 생태적으로 훼손된 하천의 생태복원이 최근 들어 활발히 추진되고 있으며 하천변의 식물 및 어류 등 다양한 생물에 대한 서식공간의 마련이 주요 이슈로 연구되어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2차원 수리서식모형인 River2D를 대표적인 도시하천인 대전천에 적용하여 대전천의 멸종위기에 처해 있는 감돌고기 및 우점종인 피라미를 대상으로 대상 어류의 서식처 제공을 위한 수리학적 분석을 시도하였다. 또한 자연친화적 서식처 개선 공법으로서 거석을 하도 내에 배치함에 따른 가중가용면적의 변화를 비교 검토하였으며 감돌고기를 위한 최적의 서식처 개선 방안을 제시하였다. 현재 상태의 대상하천에 대한 어류서식처를 모의분석한 결과, 현재 직선화되고 단조로운 하천흐름은 피라미의 서식환경에 적합한 것으로 나타났으며 가중가용면적의 경우 감돌기에 비하여 피라미가 약 20배정도 크게 나타났다. 어류서식처 조성공법의 WUA를 산정한 결과 V형 여울공법이 감돌고기의 서식환경을 360%, 징검다리 거석공법이 60%, 외톨이 거석공법이 8%이상 상승시키는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 거석(Boulder)을 적절히 배치하여 서식처를 개선하는 방법의 경우에도 거석간 간격을 3.5m로 하여 배치하는 경우가 가장 효율적인 것으로 나타났으며 거석을 이용한 여러 가지의 배치형태 중에서 수류를 중앙으로 집중시켰을 때 감돌고기의 서식처가 급격하게 상승하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 하도 내 거석의 배치시 하도 및 대상어종의 특성을 고려하여 적절한 배치간격 및 배치방법을 연구하여 시행되어야 할 것이다.

Objectives Fish vitellogenin (VTG) is produced in the female liver during oogenesis through the estradiol cycle and produced in the male liver by endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) such as alkylphenols. In this study, we propose that the VTG concentration in the pale chub could be detected using monoclonal antibodies and polyclonal antibodies against vitellin (Vn) in a VTG enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) system. Methods Monoclonal antibodies and polyclonal antibodies were produced using the Vn extracted from the matured ovum of the ovary. The VTG was extracted from the plasma of the male pale chub. The Vn and VTG were confirmed by measuring the molecular weight of their proteins using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and the specificity of the antibodies was checked through western blotting methods. The assay system was validated with respect to optimal assay concentrations, specificity, recovery, and intra- and inter-assay variations. Results The Vn consisted of two protein bands with apparent molecular weights of 64 and 37 kDa. The SDS-PAGE indicated protein weights of 146 and 77 kDa in the VTG. The assay range was 15.6 ng/mL to 2,000 ng/mL, and the value of the intra- and inter-assay variations were within 10.0% and 14.7%, respectively. The recovery rate was $99.5{\pm}5.5%$. Conclusions A sandwich ELISA was developed that could be used to qualify the VTG of pale chub in screening for EDCs. Pale chub is an ideal species for observing estrogen activity in the environment because of its extensive habitat and extensive food chain. The ELISA developed here would be more favorable than those for other species for determining the effect of long-term food chain accumulation of EDCs in aquatic environments.

Flathead flounder Hippoglossoides dubius is a commercially important fish in the coastal waters of Gangwon Province, which is its spawning ground and breeding habitat. A total of 1,669 gonads were sampled monthly from February 2011 to May 2013 to investigate ecological characteristics, such as variations in maturation and spawning by gonad index, visual maturity stage, histological observations and oocyte diameter. Males were numerically dominant over females in the fishing grounds year round. The spawning season was from January to April, and the peak was from February to March. Oocyte number as a measure of fecundity was between 27,372 and 915,209 eggs with a length range of 26.0-48.7 cm TL, while the largest oocyte grew to 0.9-1.4mm in egg diameter during its spawning season. The relationship between fecundity and total length was $F=0.0016TL^{5.2539}$. The smallest mature lengths of the females and males were 28.4 and 22.6 cm respectively, and the 50% mature lengths of females and males were 32.9, 26.9 cm respectively.

This study analyzed characteristics of natural and human environments in Chuncheon's Gongji stream, and suggested nature-friendly planning strategies for self-purification of water quality, biodiversity improvement and conservative waterfront recreation. The environmental analysis included streambed structures, floodplain soils, water quality, vegetation, wildlife, and human facilities. Natural colonization of vegetation for the middle section of the study stream was obstructed by a straightened concrete revetment of baseflow channel, and vehicle movement and concrete parking lots across the floodplain. These human disturbances also deteriorated the naturalness of the stream landscape and limited habitation of bird species. However, natural sedimented wetlands in half of the channel width for the lower section of the stream contributed to a desirable vegetational landscape and greater bird occurrence. Based on BOD measurements, water quality of the stream fell under class $II{\sim}III$ of the stream water-quality standard, but it was worse around sewage outlets due to incomplete sewage collection especially during the dry season. Dominant fish species included typical inhabitants of good water-quality streams that are tolerant of adverse habitat changes. Nature-friendly planning strategies were established based on analysis of the environmental characteristics. They focused on not merely spatial zoning and layout divided into four zones - preservation, partial preservation, conservation and use -, but close-to-nature channel revetment techniques, natural water-purification facilities, biotope diversification, and water-friendly recreation and circulation. Strategies pursued both renewal of stream naturalness and hydraulic stability of streamflow by minimizing transformation of natural channel micro-topography and biotope, and by reflecting natural traces of streambed structures such as revetment scour and sedimentation.

전국에서 채집된 검정망둑과 민물검정망둑의 지리적 변이를 조사한 결과 두 종은 반문형태상 뚜렷한 차이가 있었고 유전자 분석결과에서도 두 종은 3개의 유전적 표식인자 (Me-1, Gp-4, Aco)를 가지는 별개의 분류군으로 확인되었다. 그러나 유전적 근연치는 S=0.813 , 유전적 차이치는 D=0.192로 종 수준 이하의 유전적 분화를 보였으며두 종의 동서하천에서 미세분포 상황 및 생식적 격리 수준을 조사한 결과, 두 종은 서식처 분리가 ENfut하여 검정망둑은 주로 염수역에, 민물검정망둑은 주로 담수역에 분포하며 이들 사이에 유\ulcorner 교환이 없는 것으로 확인되었으나 서식처 분리가 깨진 여천 방죽천 집단의 경우, 두 종간에는 유전자 교환이 일어나며 F2 이상의 잡종개체를 포함하여 높은 비율(25.6%) 의 자연잡종이 발생되는 것으로 보다 두종은 교배전 격리기작 (prmatign isolating mechanism) 이 불완전한 것으로 확인되었다. 그러나 F-statistics 분석결과 $F_{IS}$(inbredding coefficient) 값은 두 종간에 자유교배가 일어나지 않음을 보여 검정망둑과 민물검정망둑은 현재 아종에서 종으로 분화중에 있는 반종(semispecies)으로 추정되며 따라서 학명은 T.obscurus obscurus(검정망둑)와 T.obscurus brevispinis (민물검정망둑)을 사용하는 것이 타당하다고 사료된다.

본 논문은 여러 형태의 해저 침전물인 뻘, 모래, 자갈, 패류 등을 초음파를 이용하여 구별하는 것인데, 이는 해저목표물에 대한 신호패턴 데이터베이스를 구축한 후, 기존 어군탐지기로부터 아날로그 신호를 디지털 신호로 변환하고, 이 신호를 컴퓨터에서 가공하여 정확한 목표물 인식이 가능하도록 하는 판독시스템을 개발하는 것이다. 지금까지 연구한 결과를 바탕으로 많은 실험을 거친 후(수조 및 현장 실험 등) 침전물의 데이터를 정밀 분석하면 해저목표물을 알아낼 수 있다. 수중에서 어종별로 어체에서 반사되는 초음파 특성과, 해저면에서 뻘과 딱딱한 패류 껍질, 모래 자판 등에서 반사되는 초음파 특성 등을 분석한 값을 데이터베이스화하여 저장해 두고, 실제 측정시 해저 목표물로부터 반사 되어오는 값과 비교하여 침전물과 어·패류의 서식 상태 현황을 파악하는데, 이런 어·패류 판독용 초음파 탐지기는 된 연구를 통하여 개발 할 수 있다. 중점적으로 추후 연구해야 할 분야는 초음파의 특성을 더욱더 세밀히 샘플링 하는 것과 초음파가 해저 목표물의 여러 형태에 따라 산란 특성을 가지고 있는데 이들에 대한 문제점을 연구하는 것이다.
