We have done the input-output analysis to see the over all impact of flounder industry of Jeju region on the domestic economy of Korea. To do the input-output analysis, we have constructed the data set for the input-output table by using the existing data set in the "2003 input- output table of Jeju regional area" published by the joint work of Jeju branch of Korea bank and the Jeju Development Institute, together with some raw data provided by Jejudo Marine Fish-Culture Cooperative. We have also produced input coefficient of flounder industry by making flounder industrial sector exogenous, separated from intermediate demand. To summarize our empirical results, the inducement effect of production, value added, and employment of Jeju flounder aquaculture industry are 300 billion won, 116 billion won and 1,800 people respectively. In conclusion, the results of this study suggest flounder industry of Jeju region contributes powerfully to not only Jeju economy but also all over the Korea economy.

Effects of feeding frequency on the growth performance of juvenile starry flounder Platichthys stellatus were investigated. One thousand fifty fishes were distributed into 15 of 500-L flow-through tanks. Triplicate groups of were fed experimental diet with five feeding frequency (one meal every two days, one meal a day, two meals a day, three meals a day and four meals a day) for 9 weeks. Weight gain and specific growth rate (SGR) of fish fed two meals a day were higher than those of fish fed one meal 2 days and one meal a day, but not different from those of fish fed three meals a day and four meals a day. Feed consumption of fish fed two meals a day was not different from that of fish fed three meals a day and four meals a day. Feed efficiency (FE) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) of fish fed two meals a day were higher than those of fish fed all other diets, except for three meals a day. These results suggest that the optimal feeding frequency is two meals a day for the optimum growth performance of juvenile starry flounder under the experimental conditions.

A $2{\times}4$ factorial feeding trial was conducted to examine the effect of feed type and feeding frequency on the performance of sub-adult starry flounder Platichthys stellatus. Two feed types, sinking pellets (SP) and floating pellets (FP), were given to 480 fish housed in tanks. Triplicate groups of fish were fed each feed type at one of four feeding frequencies (one meal every two days, one meal per day, two meals per day, and three meals per day) for nine weeks. Weight gain (WG) and specific growth rate (SGR) of fish were affected by feeding frequency. However, WG and SGR were the same in fish fed SP at two and three meals per day; similarly, there was no difference in WG or SGR of fish fed FP at one meal, two meals, or three meals per day. Feed utilization of fish was affected by both feed type and feeding frequency. These findings suggest that two meals per day of the SP or one meal per day of FP are sufficient for optimum growth performance of sub-adult starry flounder.

In the aquaculture industry, few studies are analyzing big data for intrinsic meaning. Fishcare Laboratory (www.fishcare.kr) diagnostic data from 2016-2018 was analyzed for scuticociliatosis (caused by Miamiensis avidus) outbreak patterns in cultured olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus in Jeju, Korea. The scuticociliatosis monthly occurrence ratio is reported in the summary table after preparing and filtering the basic dataset model. Nonparametric test results suggest differences in the water temperature, body length, and weight between groups with and without scuticociliatosis. Data distribution visualization revealed that shorter body length and lighter weight increased the occurrence of scuticociliatosis. The association rule mining technique was applied to determine the primary clinical signs of mixed scuticociliatosis and bacterial infections. Venn diagrams were used to report clinical signs and suggest commonalities. These results may help diagnose and treat fish and provide a decision-making reference.

The antimicrobial activity of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens JFP-02 against nine fish pathogenic bacteria isolated from olive flounder aquaculture farms on Jeju Island was assessed under various medium compositions, pH levels, and incubation temperatures. The fish pathogenic bacteria isolated were Flexibacter maritimus, Staphylococcus caprae, Edwardsiella tarda, Streptococcus parauberis, Photo-bacterium damselae, Vibrio harveyi, Vibrio campbellii, Vibrio alginolyticus, and Vibrio anguillarum. The antibiotic susceptibility testing results for the fish pathogenic bacteria indicated the highest sensitivity to florfenicol, followed by gentamycin and neomycin. The bacteria exhibited the greatest resistance to penicillin, with amoxicillin and erythromycin showing the next highest levels of resistance. B. amyloliquefaciens JFP-02 exhibited the highest growth activity at pH 9, while the greatest antimicrobial activity was observed at pH 6. Likewise, although the highest growth occurred at 30℃, the most significant antimicrobial effect was observed at 20℃. Among the various medium components, the antimicrobial activity of B. amyloliquefaciens JFP-02 was highest when dextrin was used as the carbon source, leading to the greatest growth and antimicrobial activity. Additionally, among the nitrogen sources, the addition of yeast extract resulted in the highest growth and antimicrobial activity. For inorganic salts, although the highest growth activity was observed with MgSO₄·7H₂O and FeSO₄·7H₂O, the greatest antimicrobial effect was observed with KH₂PO₄.

Olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) is an important aquaculture fish species in Jeju Island, South Korea. Due to the intensification of flounder fish farming, huge amounts of chemical antibiotics are used against several fish diseases. This has many harmful side effects on fish, as well as human consumers. Hence, an alternative to chemical antibiotic agents is needed for disease control. In this study, three strains of rhizobacteria (BRH433-2, TRH415-2, and THJ609-3) were isolated from the rhizosphere of plants. Assays of their antibacterial activity against fish pathogens, such as S. iniae, S. parauberis, V. anguillarum, and E. tarda, were performed with untreated broth culture (without cell separation), supernatant, and precipitated pellets separated by centrifugation. Among these, the cell suspension prepared from the precipitated pellet showed significant antimicrobial activity when compared with that of the untreated broth culture and centrifugal supernatant. These results indicate that the three isolated rhizobacterial strains exhibit antibacterial activity. Analysis of the 16S rDNA sequences of the BRH-433-2, THJ609-3, and TRH415-2 strains showed the highest similarity to Burkholderia gladioli (99.5%), Pseudomonas baetica (97.7%), and P. koreensis and P. baetica (98.4%), respectively. We suggest that the strains hold promise in disease management of fish.
