Hematological analysis can provide crucial information for monitoring the health of fish. However, there is no current information available regarding hematological changes in olive flounder following infection by Vibrio scophthalmi. In this study, hematological and biochemical alterations were determined in olive flounder infected by the high virulence strain (HVS) and low virulence strain (LVS) of V. scophthalmi. Survival in serum, skin mucus, and macrophages of olive flounder was also compared between the HVS and LVS. The results demonstrated that the hematocrit value in infected fish declined from 23.4% at 0 h to 18.0% at 168 h post infection. The total protein concentration in fish infected with the HVS was significantly higher than in fish infected with the LVS and a non-infected control. Lysozyme activity was significantly different between infected and control fish. The HVS survived in serum and cell numbers increased substantially, while cell numbers of the LVS in serum decreased. These changes in hematological characteristics in fish infected by V. scophthalmi can be used as an effective and sensitive index to monitor the physiological and pathological conditions of fish. The survival and reproduction of V. scophthalmi in host serum, skin mucus, and macrophages play a major role in systemic infection and can serve as a virulence indicator for different strains.

낙동강의 지류하천인 내성천은 전형적인 모래하천으로 고유한 생태계의 구조와 기능을 가지고 있다. 그러나 2016년부터 운영되고 있는 영주댐에 의하여 내성천의 댐 하류에서 하상의 변화와 이에 따른 어류상의 변화가 예상된다. 본 연구에서는 2014년부터 2016년까지 모래하천인 내성천에서 어류의 서식환경, 생물상 및 군집구조의 변화를 모니터링하기 위하여, 공사중인 영주댐 하류와 대조지소로서 서천에서 하천 환경을 조사하고 어류를 채집하였다. 내성천에 영주댐이 축조되기 시작하면서 댐 직하류에서 하상 재료의 입경 크기가 증가하였다. 영주댐이 운영되기 전 내성천에서는 피라미가 우점하였고, 조사지점에 따라서 끄리, 쉬리, 참마자, 모래무지가 아우점하였다. 내성천에서는 모래 하상에서 특이하게 서식하는 누치, 참마자, 모래무지, 흰수마자, 기름종개, 대동갱이가 발견되었다. 내성천의 영주댐 하류에서 어류 군집는 하상 재료의 입경에 따라서 돌마자, 쉬리, 꺽지 등의 자갈 하상 어종 출현 군집과 누치, 기름종개, 흰수마자 등의 모래 하상 어종 출현 군집으로 구분되었다. 또한 이들 군집은 영주댐 건설 이후에 시간이 경과함에 따라서 점차 모래 하상 어류 군집에서 자갈 하상 어류 군집으로 변하는 경향이었다. 그러므로 영주댐 하류 하천에서 환경과 어류상의 변화를 지속적으로 모니터링하여 모래하천의 생태계 보전을 위한 기초자료를 확보하여야 할 것으로 생각된다.

In order to establish fundamental data for stream restoration and environmental flow, we investigated inhabitation and species diversity of fish to substrate size in the typical streams of Geum River Basin. Field monitoring including fish sampling was conducted from October 2007 to October 2009. Substrate size was determined according to six different : silt (Si), sand (Sa), fine gravel (Fg), coarse gravel (Cg), cobbles (Co) and boulders (Bo). A total number of fish caught in the 18 sites was 7,649 representing 10 families 50 species, and Si, Sa, Fg, Cg, Co and Bo stations occupied 30, 29, 38, 30, 27 and 17 species, respectively. The most frequently found species in number was pale chum (Zacco platypus, 29.7%, n=2,275) followed by Z. koreanus (22.5%, n=1,720) in total stations. Biological diversity with increase of substrate size from the dominance of part species showed higher values as dominance index, lower and diversity, richness and evenness index. Index of biological integrity (IBI) and qualitative habitat evaluation index (QHEI) scores decreased with increase of substrate size. Therefore, it is necessary to make an effort on stream rehabilitation with evaluation of physical habitat condition by indicator species in order to maintain biodiversity and perform ecological restoration.

Freshwater farms are primarily located adjacent to rivers and lakes, facilitating the introduction and spread of pathogens into natural systems. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously monitor natural aquatic organisms, the breeding environment, and infection rates by pathogenic organisms. Fish and crustaceans were sampled 4 times in the Geum River estuary in 2016. The samples were analyzed for the presence of pathogens for reportable communicable diseases, including KHVD (koi herpesvirus disease), SVC (spring viraemia of carp), EUS (epizootic ulcerative syndrome) and WSD (white spot disease); parasite abundance was also examined. The dominant fish species were deep body bitterling Acanthorhodes macropterus (21.4%), followed by skygager Erythroculter erythropterus (12.7%). For crustaceans, Palaemon paucidens and Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis were dominant. Sixty fish and 36 crustacean species were examined for reportable communicable diseases. When using a specific primer set for each disease, PCR analysis did not detect any reportable communicable diseases in the samples. Some instances of Dactylogyrus, copepods, nematodes and metacercaria were detected. However, the PCR results indicated that the metacercaria were not Clonorchis sinensis.

An embedded monitoring and control system which can be controlled and monitored with web, was implemented in this paper. The principal data which should be controlled are the present temperature and pH of a fish farm. The input signals are from temperature sensors and pH sensors. The input data are digital which are A/D converted every constant time, and the results are stored to the database. The converted data are displayed on a large electric signboard at the fish-farm. This system was designed that supervisors can control the system and watch the real situation of the fish-farm at remote places.

현재까지는 해양 어류의 생태와 양식과정 등을 연구하기 위해서 연구자가 직접 육안으로 실험환경을 관찰하였으며, 양어장의 영상, 온도와 같은 상태 등의 정보를 실험실 내에서만 모니터링 할 수 있었다. 기존의 이러한 방식은 과학적이고 체계적인 방법으로 어류의 생태를 관찰할 수 없고, 많은 연구 인력이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 리눅스를 운영체제로 사용한 임베디드 시스템을 이용하여 원격지의 실험환경 상태를 언제, 어디서든 인터넷을 통하여 실시간으로 전송 받아, 그 상태를 종합적으로 검사 및 분석할 수 있는 양어장 모니터링 시스템을 설계 및 구현한다.

본 논문에서는 자동 추적 시스템을 이용하여 반자연적인 조건에서 화학 약물의 아치사량 투석에 반응하는 수중 생물중 하나인 물고기(송사리)의 행동을 관찰하였다. 결과의 분석을 위하여, 약물 투여 전의 대표적인 행동을 패턴 A로 정의하였으며, 약물 투여 후의 대표적인 행동을 패턴 B로 정의하였다. 실험 결과, 패턴 B가 약물 투여 후에 빈번하게 관찰되는 반면, 패턴 A는 약물 투여 전에 많이 관찰되었다. 또한, 물고기의 움직임 패턴을 자동으로 탐지하기 위하여 대표 패턴들을 인공신경망의 학습을 위하여 추출하였다. 독성 물질(다이아지논) 투여 후 패턴 B에 대한 평균 탐지율은 크게 증가하였으나, 패턴 A에 대한 탐지율은 크게 감소함을 볼 수 있었다 본 논문에서는 지표종의 행동 모니터링을 통하여 환경에서 독성 물질의 존재를 탐지하는 방법으로 인공 신경망의 적용을 보여주고 있다.

Malachite green (MG) has been used world-widely in aquaculture as a parasiticide or fungicide. Although MG performed successfully, it has not been permitted for use in aquaculture from European Union, USA, and Canada because of its carcinogenicity and mutagenicity. We developed a sensitive and specific method to determine MG and its principal metabolite, leucomalachite green (LMG), respectively by isotope dilution liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (ID-LC/MS). To enhance the extraction recovery of MG and LMG from fish tissue, an additional step, saponification, was introduced in sample preparation process to remove fat in sample extract, which hampered the performance of SPE columns. The residue of MG and LMG in fish was analyzed using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry in the selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode by monitoring at m/z 329 and 334 for MG and $d_5$-MG and at m/z 331 and 337 for LMG and $^{13}C_6$-LMG, respectively. This method was validated by comparing with the value of the reference material provided by Laboratory Government Chemistry (LGC). The results agreed within the measurement uncertainty and the accuracy was much improved than the provided reference value by LGC.

Beside that the fish species and their sub-populations are highly important as a keystone species in the coastal and marine ecosystem, there are very few studies on their presence, distribution and temporal variations within and around the lagoon ecosystems in Albania. This paper provides an updated review on the life cycle, fishery, exploitation state and management of the main species that are subject of commercial fishing in the Karavasta lagoon, southeastern Adriatic coast of Albania. Due to the fact that lagoons represent a continuum between continental and marine aquatic ecosystems they play a crucial role in species life cycles. Further on in the circumstances of rapid utilizations and environmental changes, anomalies in salinity and temperatures, accelerated anthropogenic influences their rate of vulnerability is highly increased. Following the requirements of the Water Framework Directive, transitional water, coastal lagoons and estuaries there is a need for urgent monitoring and management approaches. The commercial species include: European eel (Anguilla anguilla), species of Family Mugilidae (Mugil cephalus, Liza ramada, Liza salienes and Chelon labrosus), Seabream (Sparus aurata), Seabass (Dincentrarchus labrax), etc. Fish productivity is oscillating from maximum value of 61.95 kg/ha is recorded in period of 1975-80 and lower value of 31 kg/ha in year 2020. Our study highlights importance of fish and fishery long-term monitoring, and contributes to understand the driving factors in productivity, migration patterns and species ecology in the vital coastal ecosystems.
