A survey was carried out two times at 11 localities on the marine molluscan fauna of Saemangeum during the periods from August 3rd to August 5th, and from August 23rd to August 25th 2003. The total number of molluscan species identified in this study was 88 species in 40 families, and among them 51 species in 34 families include Eurytrochus cognatus were new to the fauna of Saemangeum. In addition to the previously described 58 species in 31 families, a total of 109 species in 48 families of marine mollusca have been reported at Saemangeum up to date.

Endobiotic microalgae inhabit various groups of organisms, including bivalves. In this group, the association between the giant molluscs Tridacna and Symbiodinium is one of the most recognizable. This consortium allows hydrobionts to survive in oligotrophic waters by regulating their metabolism. The available research has provided an understanding of the interaction and adaptation of these symbionts, but the problem of the beginning of the formation of these relationships remains unresolved. In the case of Tridacninae, symbiosis is essential for the survival of bivalves, in contrast to representatives of the Mytilidae and the Coccomyxa found in them. A few works devoted mainly to the morphological aspects of invasion have shown that endobiont causes inflammation and pathology. Having data to clarify the exact "diagnosis" of the interaction of these organisms is not enough. It is possible that the relationship between bivalves and Coccomyxa is in the early stages of being established, which may lead to mutualism or parasitism in the future. We assume that the analysis of works on the symbiosis of Symbiodinium and bivalves will facilitate the course of research for the less studied Coccomyxa and their hosts. By postulating the Coccomyxa represent a unique evolutionary model for the formation of a symbiotic system, it is possible to use this system to study the interaction of organisms during their initial contact. The identified signalling pathways and mechanisms that allow the photobionts to evade host immunity can be useful for constructing new forms of symbiosystems.

We have investigated introduced foreign molluscs into Korea since 1993. A total of 2,338 species of 157 families were investigated. Among them, 2,013 species of 106 families were gastropods, 307 species of 44 families were bivalves, nine species of two families were scaphopods, and nine species of four families in cephalopods. 2,128 species were newly given Korean name.

Fifteen species in 10 families of Opisthobranchia were collected from Ulung and Dog-do Islands, Korea. Eight species of them, Cadlina japonica Baba, Aldisa cooperi Robilliard & Baba, Dendrodoris denisoni (Angas), Tritonfu festive (Steams), Notobryon mardi Odhner, Hermissendo crussicornis (Eschscholtz), Sakuraeolis monesto (Bergh) and Protaeolidiella atru Baba were not recorded in Korean waters previously. In addtion to these 8 species, 5 species of Aplvsia purvufa Guilding in Miirch, Bethellino citrine (Riippell & Leuckart), Pfeurobronchoeo iaponica Thiele, Chromodoris tinctorio (Ri'spell & Leuckart), and Hypselodoris festive (A. Adams) are new to the fauna of Ullung and Dog-do Islands.

This paper aimed at studying an efficient sampling design of the survey for non-consignment fishery products including both marine fisheries and seaculture. An analysis was done on the relationship between precision and sample size. On the basis of the analysis, the sample size was determined to be 1,080 fishery house holds with the expected precision of 4%-5%. The molluscs and seaculture were recognized to be correlated with the non-consignment products. An attempt was made to investigate the coverage of the fish kinds by the sample about 100 fish kinds were found in the 80 selected sample villages, whereas the population includes about 120 in total. This shows that the sample represents the population with satisfaction.

Marine microalgae are used extensively in mariculture as food for marine animals, in particular larval and juvenile molluscs, crustaceans and fish. A wide range of microalgae has been tested, because not all species are equally successful in supporting growth of a particular animal. In addition, bioactivities of marine microalgae are recently investigated for the effective exploitation of unutilized marine resources. (omitted)

The feeding habits of Lycodes tanakae Eelpout were studied with 722 specimens collected from March 2011 to December 2012 in the coastal waters of the middle East Sea. The main prey of L. tanakae were fish, molluscs and arthropods. Nevertheless annelida, echinodermata and others were found in small amounts in the stomach contents. The L. tanakae stomach was empty of contents in 50.9% of specimens. While smaller size specimens of L. tanakae (less than 40 cm) fed mainly on euphausiids and amphipods, the larger specimens (more than 40 cm) fed on the fish Allolepis hollandi and Icelus cataphractus, and the molluscs Berryteuthis magister and Watasenia scintillans. The main prey items of L. tanakae varied seasonally. The fish Lycodes nakamurai was the dominat prey from November to January during its spawning season. Euphausiids and amphipods of the arthropods were the dominant prey from February to April. The molluscs Berryteuthis magister and Watasenia scintillans were the dominant prey from May to September. The diversity index (H') of diets showed variations by length class and month; the highest values were 2.61 in the length class of 51-55 cm, and the monthly highest were 2.68 in September with 23 species and 2.65 in November with 18 species. The highest dominance index (D') of diets was 0.57 in the length class of 31-35 cm, and the monthly highest was 0.71 in February. Cluster analysis divided prey groups into four groups by length class and three groups by monthly prey items. The gonad index gradually increased during the process of maturation while, contrary, stomach content index decreased during this period.

Three species of Ellobiid molluscs collected from Korea were identified as Auriculastra duplicata (Pfeffer, 1854), Laemodonta siamensis (Morelete, 1875) and Melampus (Pira) flavus (Gmelin, 1791). This is the first record from the Korea, providing a description of the species with illustration for the shell morphology. Including the new recorded in this study, the family Ellobiidae contained six genera and 13 species in the Korea.
