This study investigated the role of plasmids and their relationship with the multiple antibiotic resistance of 30 Vibrios sp. isolated from molluscs and crustaceans sampled from the Kerala coastal waters of India. The biochemical identification and antibiotic resistance profiles were determined, followed by the plasmid profiles, conjugation and transformation efficiencies. The results showed a considerable difference in the level of bacterial resistance to various antibiotics; while all 30 strains were found to be MAR Vibrios sp. and their resistance patterns varied. All the strains were resistant to amoxycillin, ampicillin and carbeniciliin. 87% were resistant to rifampicin; 74% to cefuroxime; 67 to streptomycin; 53% to norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin and 47% to furazolidone and nalidixic acid. In addition to their antibiotic resistance, the plasmid DNA of the MAR Vibrios strains isolated from the molluscs and crustaceans was also studied. Nine strains isolated from crustaceans and molluscs were found to harbor 1-3 plasmids with sizes varying from 5. 98 kb to 19. 36 kb. The average transformation efficiency was about $5{\times}10^{-8}$ and the conjugation efficiency varied from $2.1{\times}10^{-3}$ to $10^{-9}$. A further study of antibiotic resistance patterns may be useful to test the extent of drug resistance in seafoods and help to devise a nationwide antibiotic policy.

Contamination of heavy metals in water and sediments along Mangyeong Gang(river) has reached up to critical level The object of the study is to elucidate somed molluscs which inhabit along the river on respect to the modulatory role in reducing the pollution. For the purpose, molluscs which are common in numbers and biomass in the area were collected, and Cadmim(Cd) was subjected as a reference metal in the experiment. The corresponding species were; Cipango;aludina chinensis (muddy snail) and Scapharca subcrenata (seashell). As methods, sample species were kept in laboratory under the natural condition as possible. Soil were brought from the site of the collection, dried autoclaved and wetted with ordinary water. It wad utilized as media to maintain the collected species in vitro all the way of the experiment. CdCI$^{2}$ was mixe in the medium according to experimental design. On the result obtained in the study, it is summarized that molluscs which inhabit along Mangyeong Gang(river)consume heavy mital-containing matters, so far Cd is concerned in the study. The amout of Cd concentration in tissues of the benthic natured invertebrates were dose and time related, and MT-Cd was also similar trend. Thus, Cd may eventually combine with low molecular protein forming metalloprotein, then reduce the toxicity of the heavy metal.

본 연구는 한국산 연체동물의 감염 병원체의 실태와 한반도 기후변화에 따른 질병의 변화를 예측하기 위해 연구 보고된 문헌을 고찰하였다. 야생동물은 인체에 기생하는 인수공통전염병 기생충에 대한 중간숙주, 보유숙주 및 연체숙주로 제공되고 있다. 흡충류는 연체동물의 흔한 기생충이며 거의 모든 흡충류는 그들의 생활사에서 1차숙주로서 패류에 감염되며, 대부분은 또 다른 숙주를 포함하는 복잡한 생활사를 가지고 있다. 지금까지 기생충의 생태학에 대한 보조숙주로서의 중요성은 논의된 바 없다. 최근에 기후변화의 관점에서 많은 기생성 질병이 역학적 관심이 증가되고 있다. 한국산 연체동물을 대상으로 연구 보고된 문헌을 중심으로 기생성 병원체를 가진 종들을 조사 한 결과 전체 21종의 패류가 매개 기생체를 가지며, 이들 패류 21종이 가지고 있는 병원체는 모두 39종류로 확인되었다. 이 중 담수패류가 15종 그리고 해산패류에서 6종으로 나타났다. 담수패류 중 다슬기과의 다슬기 (Semisulcospira livertina) 에서 페흡충, 요코가와흡충, 가시입이형흡충 등 가장 많은 11종류의 기생성 병원체를 가지는 것으로 조사되었고, 쇠우렁이 (Parafossarulus manchouricus) 에서는 간흡충, 동양배반흡충, 메기장흡충, 오리오목흡충, 일본극구흡충 등 11종류, 다슬기류 (Semisulcospira sp.) 에서는 폐흡충, 요코가와흡충, 가시입이형흡충 등 10종류, 염주알다슬기(Koreanomelania globus) 에서는 메기소식흡충 등 7종류, 바지락 (Tapes philippinarum) 에서는 Cercariae tapidis 등 3 종류 그리고 나머지 패류에서 1-2 종류의 기생성 병원체를 보유하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 앞으로 홍수나 가뭄과 같은 극심한 기후변화가 일어난다면 담수패류는 기생성 매개자로서의 매우 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 예측되었다.

Fatty acids (FA) have recently been used in several studies to infer the diet in a number of species. While these studies have been largely successful, most have dealt with predators that have a fairly specialized diet. In this paper, we used FA analysis as a tool to infer the diet of the nearctic river otter (Lontra canadensis). The river otter is an opportunistic predator known to subsist on a wide variety of prey including, fishes, crayfish, molluscs, reptiles and amphibians, among others. We analyzed the principle components of 60 FA from otters and 25 potential prey species in Illinois, USA. Prey species came from 4 major taxonomic divisions: fishes, crayfish, molluscs and amphibians. Within each division, most, but not all, species had significantly different profiles. Using quantitative FA signature analysis, our results suggest that, by mass, fish species are the most significant component of Illinois River otters' diet ($37.7{\pm}1.0%$). Molluscs ranked second ($32.0{\pm}0.8%$), followed by amphibians ($27.3{\pm}4.3%$), and finally, crayfish ($3.0{\pm}0.6%$). Our analysis indicates that molluscs make up a larger portion of the otter diet than previously reported. Throughout much of the Midwest there have been numerous otter reintroduction efforts, many of which appear to be successful. In regions where mollusc species are endangered, these data are essential for management agencies to better understand the potential impact of otters on these species. Our analysis further suggests that quantitative FA signature analysis can be used to infer diet even when prey species are diverse, to the extent that their FA profiles differ. Better understanding of the otter's metabolism of FA would improve inferences of diet from FA analysis.

Heavy metals, Cd, Pb, Cu, Mn, Zn in water, sediments and molluscs along coast line of Hwang-hae(Yellow sea)were examined. The collection sited werer close to esturies of Kum-gang and Mankyeong-Gang, where industries have been rapidly developed along the rivers in recent in recent years. Cadmium and lead in water were 0.32ppb and 4.12 ppb respectively on Kun-san, but not on Jang hang. In general, Cd, Pb, Mn and Zn were detected in the regions of mouth paart of rivers, whereas none or far less amounts were detected from Puan, a control site: 20km apart from estury of Mangyeong Gang. Cd and Pb in sediments of Kunsan were 0.46ppm and 9.31ppm respectively and 0.36ppm and 0.41ppm in Shim-po, but far less amounts in Byeon san.Heavy metals in shellfish were: Cd 0.78ppm and Pb 0.42ppm in Kun san, 0.74ppm and 0.74ppm in Shim po, and showed higher values compare to other sites. In general, heavy metal contamination of sedimets and molluscs in each are were correlated with grade of the water pollution due to heavy metals.

Molluscs from the Neolithic shell middens (Sugari, Pudjeong, Tongsamdong, Sangnodaedo, Sandeung, Yondaedo, Songdo and Kupyongri) in the southern coast, Korea, consisted of marine, fresh-water and land molluscs. Among these, intertidal species were exploited most abundantly as food resources, indicating a high dependence of intertidal shellfish collection activities. Especially oysters were the most abundant in these sites except Tongsamdong where mussels were predominant, indicating oysters were the most important food resources. Land snails from the sites consisted of woodland and open land species. Woodland species were more abundant than openland species, suggesting that there was a woodland environmint around the sites. Marine and land mollusc species from the sites are common in these rigions today, indicating no large-scale emvironmental changes have occurred since these middens formation period.

The objectives of this study is to analyze the competitiveness of fisheries trade between Korea and China, and to estimate strategic seafood export products for Korea-China FTA in fisheries sector. The results of analyses indicate that Korea has comparative advantages in export items such as spanish mackerel, flatfish, cod, roe in frozen fish(0303), and squid, sea cucumber, oyster in molluscs(0307). In addition, tuna in prepared or preserved fish(1604), sea cucumber in crustacean, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates(1605) have comparative advantage in exporting to China.
