Heavy metal concentration/distribution in sediments and bivalves from the tidal flats in Saemankeum coastal area, western Korea, were investigated, Among 6 sampling sites, S2, S5 and S6 showed the higher levels of Zn, Cr, Ni, Cu and Cd contamination and S1 did the higher level of Pb contamination than other sites, while S-4 showed the lowest levels of these metal contamination. Overally, the levels of Zn, Cu and Pb concentrations in Sinonovacula constricta were estimated to be relatively high. The shell lengths of the collected mussels were linearly related to their dry weights of the whole soft parts, but the mussels collected from S3 were in a poor nutrition, resulting in the distinctively high levels of metal concentrations in the body. It was shown that in S. constricta, Cr, Ni, Cu and Zn are distributed equally into the whole soft parts or a little more into the flesh, after absorption, while Fe, Cd, Pb and Mn are transferred more into the non-flesh parts than into the flesh parts. In S. constricta, the heavy metal concentrations in the flesh increase with those in the whole soft parts. The bioaccumulation factors(heavy metal concentration in S. constricta/heavy metal concentration in sediment) showed that, of the examined metals, Cd is the most cumulative in the body of S. constricta, followed by Zn and Cu, while Mn, Cr, Ni and Pb are not cumulative.

부영양 저수지의 수질개선을 목적으로 연속형 유기물제어(CROM)기술을 이용하여 이미 제어능이 밝혀진 국내산 이매패 말조개와 펄조개를 대상으로 이종간 또는 동종간의 유기물 섭식 특성을 비교 조사하였다. CROM은 매일 저수지 표층수를 직접 실내로 유입하였으며 저장소 및 조절조, 처리조, 분석조 등으로 구성하였다. 섭식실험은 온도와 광도가 일정하게 조절된 실험실에서 실시하였으며, 패류 처리 후 여과율, 제어능, 수질(영양염) 및 배설물 생산량 등을 측정하였다. 실험결과 패각길이가 비슷할 경우 이종간에 유기물 제어능은 서로 비슷하였으나 여과율의 경우에는 말조개가 더 높게 나타났다. 동일종(동밀밀도)내에서는 패각길이가 긴 개체들이 더 높은 제어능을 나타냈으며, 반대로 여과율은 패각길이가 짧은 개체가 높았다. 한편 동일종에서 처리밀도가 다를 경우 저밀도 처리군이 고밀도 처리군 보다 더 높은 여과율을 나타냈다. 배설물 생산은 여과율과 유사한 패턴을 보였으며 처리밀도와 먹이농도 변화가 배설물 생산에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 두 종류의 패류는 평균 70% 이상의 뚜렷한 유기물(Chl-$\alpha$, SS) 제어율을 나타냈으며 섭식활동에 따른 $NH_4$-N나 $PO_4$-P과 같은 무기영양염의 배출량은 패각길이나 처리밀도에 따라 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 결론적으로 CROM기술을 이용한 부영양 저수지의 유기물 제어는 적절한 패류의 종류나 밀도의 결정을 통하여 충분히 현장에 적용 가능한 생물학적 기법으로 판단되며, 부산물 처리 및 자원화를 비롯한 추후 연구가 필요하다고 사료되었다.

Synthesis of catecholamine from aniline is achieved by plasma enhanced CVD process. Catecholamine has a variety of functions in body such as brain and bloodstream controls. Catecholamine also has an interesting property of a material independent ability of functionalizing surface, which is found at mussels' adhesive nature. Synthesis of catecholamine has only been available from DOPA by chemical reduction and oxidation. This study presents the direct synthesis of catecholamine from further elemental source, aniline, which has not been achieved by a conventional chemical method. The process also indicates that a variety of catecholamine can be formed by controlling reactant gases. In additional to PECVD's very useful properties such as conformal, ultrathin and uniform coatings, a direct synthesis from aniline and a capability of controlling formation of a variety catecholamine is believed to open up a numerous applications.

Many people living in Asia countries, particularly Korea, Japan and China, have consumed very widely fresh seafood products, such as shrimps, oysters, mussels and other marine invertebrates and fishes, without any heating or cooking. A variety of Vibrio spp., including V. parahaemolyticus, V. cholera. V. vulnificus, and V. fluvialis, lives in these seafoods and cause great problems associated with human disease. A strong antimicrobial agent to effectively inhibit the growth of these pathogenic bacteria in in vivo or in vitro is urgently need for preventing fish and human diseases. (omitted)

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) polymorphism of the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) species complex sampled from the east coast of Korean was studied using a partial sequence of COIII gene (336 bp). Samples obtained from three localities on the east coast of Korea revealed four haplotypes with two clearly differentiated mitochondrial clades (termed clades B and E), separated by 4.2% of minimum sequence divergence. This pattern indicates no difference between east and south coasts of Korea. According to population genetic theory on evolutionary characteristics of mtDNA, we concluded that mtDNA introgression from M. edulis to M. gallprovincialis might be a source for mtDNA polymorphism found in mussels on the east coast of Korea.

Using single cell gel electrophoresis, DNA single strand breaks were determined in various marine organisms. DNA damage on fish blood cells was detected to know whether there was a difference between Incheon, Pohang, Masan, and Tongyeong as a control site. Tongyeong showed the lowest DNA damage among the study areas. Mussels, transplanted to Masan Bay for one month, revealed high DNA damage at sites with high economical activity. In two weeks exposure of polychaete to Incheon sediments, higher DNA damage was detected in the sediment adjacent to Incheon harbor than open sea. These results suggested that the marine organism from the polluted area revealed a relatively high DNA damage. In addition, these areas might be contaminated with genotoxic compounds and comet assay was useful as a bioassay to detect DNA damage in marine organisms.

The work reported here aims to assess how Knots, Calidris canutus, accumulate rapidly large energy and nutrient reserve at Red Car in England. Most of Knots in England belong to long billed, long winged population compare with subspecies in Korea. The rate of prey intake of Knot increases as a nearest neighbour distance decreases. Foraging rate and vigilance rate increases as flock size decreases. The calorific value of each sized of Common Mussel Mytilus edulis, main food species of Knot, are almost same each other but the calorific content of each size Mussels are quite different each other. The rate of daily energy intake of Knots have been estimated from 192 kcal to 270 kcal.

Ten Listeria monocytogenes were isolated from clinical specimens and mussels, and their physio-biochemical characters were compared with the type strains. Ribotyping was used as a taxonomic tool to determine molecular epidemiological marker. Chromosomal DNA was cleaved with restriction enzymes HindIII and EcoRI. The fragment were subjected to Southern blot hybridization with 165 rDNA from B. subtilis by PCR. EcoRI patterns of Listeria strains showed 6 to 8 bands ranging from 0.75 kb to 11 kb band and they were classified into 6 groups. In comparison, HindIII patterns revealed that 5 to 7 bands ranging from 2.75 kb to 7.75 kb band and they classified into 5 groups. The various patterns of Listeria strains were observed within genus, species and isolated sources. 165 rRNA gene restriction patterns (ribotyping) are useful in epidemiological and taxonomic study.

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.

Chlorination has been the most common antifouling method, but alternatives are under searching. In this article, we report how the hydrogen peroxide could enhance the effect of chlorination to prevent fouling by inhibiting larvae settlement and abatement of mussel colonization or by extinct of them; through marine mussel Mytilus edulis. The addition of hydrogen peroxide shows synergic effect on the veliger larvae (up to 19 folds) and effectively reduces required time of mussel mortality by 8-22%. For resolution of micro- and macro-fouling caused by the marine mussel, as well as diminishing of time and conventional chlorine dose could be important factor in favour of environment and economics.
