This study was carried out to evaluate the utilization of fermented skipjack tuna viscera (FSTV) in the diet for juvenile abalone Haliotis discus hannai. Lactobacillus bulgaricus was used for fermentation of skipjack tuna viscera. Eight isonitrogenous (about 30% crude protein) diets were formulated to include different levels (0%, 10%, 20% and 30%) of FSTV as a replacer of either dietary fish meal or soybean meal. Three replicate groups of abalone were fed the experimental diets containing different levels of FSTV for 7 weeks. The inclusion of FSTV up to 30% in fish meal-based diet had no significant effect on survival, body weight, shell growth, and proximate composition of abalone (P>0.05). Weight gain of abalone fed the diet substituting 10% FSTV for soybean meal was not significantly different to that of abalone fed the control diet, however this value decreased in abalone fed the 20% and 30% FSTV (P<0.05).The contents of crude protein and lipid of soft body in abalone fed soybean meal-based diets were significantly affected by dietary FSTV level (P<0.05). The results of this study indicate that FSTV can be used as a partial substitute protein source for fish meal or soybean meal in the formulated diet for juvenile abalone.

We here report that the muscle of 'gukmeri-bok' puffer fish (Takifugu vermicularis radiatus) is intoxicated after freezing and thawing processes even though it is not toxic when it is fresh. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of different freezing and thawing conditions as well as the effect of the presence of skin or viscera on the intoxication of muscle of 'gukmeri-bok' puffer during freezing and thawing process. As a result of this investigation, thawing condition, but not freezing conditions or periods played an important role in muscle intoxication. Tetrodotoxin secretory grands exist in the skin of toxic puffer fish, the skin was more responsible for the muscles intoxication than the viscera during the freezing-thawing process. In other words, no toxicity was measured in the muscle of skinned-frozen specimens even when thawed. According to this result, it is recommended that the skin and viscera must be removed before being frozen for edible purpose. Otherwise, when a whole fish should be frozen, alternative half-thawing and removal of skin from frozen specimens is recommended.

In this study, lipid classes and fatty acids composition in viscera and muscle of the philippines Pinkgray goby, Amblychaeturichtys hexanema were determined. The viscera contained high levels of total lipid $(TL,\;4.8\%)$, while the muscle contained less TL $(0.5\%)$. TL in the viscera consisted of triacylglycerol $(83.9\%)$, diacylglycerol $(7.9\%)$, polar lipid $(7.4\%)$, and cholesterol $(0.8\%)$. However, the muscle contained a small amount of TG $(3.0\%)$ and much more PL $(73.8\%)$. Principal fatty acids composition of PL and NL in the viscera and muscle were 16:0, 16:1n-7, 18:0, 18: 1n-9, 18:1n-7, l8:3n-3, 20:5n-3, 22:5n-3, and 22:6n-3.

Keeping qualities of crude proteases (CP) and fractionated proteases (FP) sedimenting with $30\~80{\%}$ ammonium sulfate from four kinds of fish viscera as a seafood processing waste were examined. Azocaseinolytic activlties (pH 6 and 8) of CP from anchovy (Engraulis japonica), mackerel (Scomber japonicus), bastard flatfish (Pararlichthys olivaceus) and red sea bream (Chysorphys major) were stable without activity loss at $4^{\circ}C$ for 7 months. Activities of NaCP (CP containing $30{\%}$ sodium chloride) on azocasein were approximately $30{\%}$ lower than those of CP. FP activities Increased 3.4-16.1 folds compared to those of CP and NaCP Powdered crude protease (PCP) and fractionated and powdered protease (FPP) containing various sugars (lactose, sucrose, glucose and dextrin) were prepared by freeze drying. Activities of PCP and FPP containing sucrose were higher and more stable than those of PCP and FPP containing other sugars at $30^{\circ}C$ for whole keeping periods. PCP and FPP from mackerel viscera showed the highest proteolytic activity among four kind of fish vlsceras. The Optimum conditions and stabilities of FPP from mackerel viscera were pH 9 and $50^{\circ}C$, and pH 5-10 and $20-45^{\circ}C$, respectively. The results of this study suggest that FPP from seafood processing waste may be used as processing aids.

The refined lecithin derived from skipjack viscera oil was added to fish sausage and then the quality stability of the fish sausage during storage was studied. The fish sausages with the lecithin (lecithin $0\%$, A; $2\%$, B: $4\%$, C; $6\%$, D) were shown low level for peroxide value, carbonyl value and acid value compared to that without the lecithin, when they were stored for 40 days at $5^{\circ}C$. The fish sausage with the lecithin was also almost unchanged in polyunsaturated fatty acid compositions such as 22:6 (n-3) and 20:5 (n-3) during storage. Before storage, both the sausages with and without the lecithin were almost unchanged in their sensory score, but the sensory scores were decreased with storage. As a result from sensory score, the sausage contained $2\%$ of lecithin (B) was similar to that of $0\%$ lecithin (A). However, all the samples were kept their oxidative stabilities for 40 days at $5^{\circ}C$.

In order to utilize fish by-products from the skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) canning manufactures Lactobacillus buigaricus KCTC 3188 and L. piantarum KCTC 1048 were used as a starter culture for the preparation of fermented fish silage with skipjark tuna viscera. The optimum temperature and pH on barterial growth and lactic acid production of L. bulgaricus and L. plantarum in MRS broth were $35^{\circ}C$ and around pH 6.0, respectively. And the optimum concentrations of the carbohydrate sources added to the broths were $7\%$ for dextrose and $10\%$ for molasses on the basis of total weights of skipjack tuna viscera. The pH of acid treated skipjack tuna viscera silage (ASS) slightly increased from 4.0 to 4.5, while that of fermented skipjack tuna viscera silages by the use of lactic acid bacterias (FSS) was significantly declined from 5.9 to about 40 after 42 days of storage at $35^{\circ}C$. Though the content of volatile basie nitrogen (VBN) in ASS was lower than those of FSS after 42 days of storage at $35^{\circ}C$, VBN content in silages slightly increased from an initial value of $62\~65{\cdot}mg/100g$ to final value of $113\~155\;mg/100g$ over 42 days. The fermented silage by L. piantarum reached a maximum concentration of amino nitrogen and showed $81\%$ of hydrolysis degree after 4 days of storage at $35^{\circ}C$.

For an effective use of fish by-products from the skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) canning manufactures, the changes of chemical properties of skipjark tuna viscera silage by the processing method during storage were investigated. The acid treated skipjack tuna viscera silage (ASS) were higher in the contents of moisture, lipid, protein and mineral but lower in the contents of carbohydrate and polyunsaturated fatty acids than those of fermented skipjack tuna viscera silage (FSS) by L. bulgaricus, KCTC 3188 and L. plantarum, KCTC 1048. Especially, the contents of total n-3 fatty acids in FSS increased remarkably during storage. The dominant amino acids in ASS and FSS were glutamic acid (Glu), aspartic acid (Asp), leucine (Leu), glycine (Gly) and alanine (Ala). And the contents of tryptophan (Trp) decreased by $30\%$ in ASS and $5\%$ in FSS in comparision with that of raw skipjack tuna viscera after 42 days of storage. The concentration of vitamin $B_1\;and\;B_2$ in FSS increased gradually during storage but the concentration of vitamin $B_2$ in ASS decreased. In the organoleptic evaluation, ASS gave a grayish brown color and a fishy odor. On the other hand, FSS had reddish brown color and sour taste by the production of lactic arid during storage.

The development of a fish that functionally provides both antioxidant and fat-reducing effects is an important goal in nutrition and aquaculture research. Dietary conjugated linoleic acid(CLA) can be successfully incorporated in fish muscle and viscera, but CLA and carotenoids have not been evaluated in such fish. An 8 weeks growth trial was conducted using rainbow trout, and all fish were fed twice daily with experimental diets containing graded amounts of CLA(1% and 5%). At the end of the experiment, the daily growth index, feed conversion rate, lipid class, and fatty acid composition were determined. Dietary CLA did not enhance the growth parameters of rainbow trout but did improve the feed conversion rate. The muscular polar lipid content decreased during the feeding period, while the content was stable in the viscera. In addition, a diet high in CLA decreased the polyunsaturated fatty acid content, but had no effect on the content of monounsaturated and saturated fatty acid in muscle.

Phospholipid(PL), phosphatidylcholine(PC) and phosphatidylcholine free PL(PCF) were extracted from squid viscera and the antioxidant effects of each fraction on the oxidation of refined fish oil were evaluated. Polyunsaturated fatty acid contents were the highest in PC(46.7%) followed by PL(44.8%) and PCF(40.9%). The effects of each phospholipid fraction on stabilizing fish oil were compared by incubating at 40$^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. At the initial period(2 days), changes in peroxide value did not show any significant difference ; however, as incubation time was extended, PC fraction showed the strongest antioxidant activity. PL and PCF added to fish oils also resulted in increased stability against oxidation. Antioxidative effect of PC at the 5% level was equivalent to 0.05% BHT, 1% catechin and 1% tocopherol.
