We investigated the longitudinal variations in zooplankton abundances and their related physicochemical properties at nine stations located between $136^{\circ}W$ and $128^{\circ}W$ at $10.5^{\circ}N$ in the northeastern Pacific in summer 2004. Temperature, salinity, inorganic nutrients, chlorophyll-a (hereafter chl-a) and zooplankton ($>200\;{\mu}m$) were sampled within the depth from the surface to 200 m depth at $1^{\circ}$ longitude intervals. Zooplankton($>200\;{\mu}m$) samples were vertically collected at two depth intervals from surface to 200 m, consisting of surface mixed and lower layers (thermocline$\sim$200 m). Longitudinal distributional pattern of hydrological parameters (especially salinity) was physically influenced by the intensity of westward geostrophic current passage relating to the NEC (North Equatorial Current). Data from the longitudinal survey showed clear zonal distributions in the hydrological parameters(temperature, salinity and nutrients). However, spatial patterns of the chl-a concentrations and zooplankton abundances were mostly independent of the zonal distributions of hydrological parameters. The two peaks of zooplankton abundance in the surface mixed layer were characterized by different controlling factors such as bottom-up control from nutrients to zooplankton ($129^{\circ}W$) and accumulation by increment of friction force and taxonomic interrelationship ($133^{\circ}$ and $134^{\circ}W$). Divergence-related upwelling caused introduction of nutrients into surface waters leading to the increment of chl-a concentration and zooplankton abundances ($129^{\circ}W$). Increased friction force in relation to reduced flow rates of geostrophic currents caused accumulation of zooplankton drifting from eastern stations of study area($133^{\circ}$ and $134^{\circ}W$). Besides, high correlation between immature copepods and carnivorous groups such as chaetognaths and cyclopoids also possibly contributed to the enhanced total abundance of zooplankton in the surface mixed layer (p<0.05). Zooplankton community was divided into three groups (A, B, C) which consecutively included the eastern peak of zooplankton($129^{\circ}W$), the western peak($133^{\circ}$ and $134^{\circ}W$) and high nutrient but low chl-a concentration and zooplankton abundance ($136^{\circ}W$). Moreover, Group B corresponded to the westward movement of low saline waters(<33.6 psu) from 128 to $132^{\circ}W$. In summary, longitudinal distributions of zooplankton community was characterized by three different controlling factors: bottom-up control ($129^{\circ}W$), accumulation by increased friction force and relationships among zooplankton groups ($133^{\circ}$ and $134^{\circ}W$), and mismatch between hydrological parameters and zooplankton in the high nutrient low chlorophyll area ($136^{\circ}W$) during the study period.

The production of poly-$\beta$-hydroxybutyrate(PHB) from methanol by batch and fed-batch cultivations of Methylobacterium sp. GL-10 was studied. PHB accumulation was stimulated by the nutrients deficiency including, NH4+, SO42-, and K+. The nitrogen deficiency was the most critical factor for PHB accumulation. In batch cultivation, the maximum cell concentration and PHB content were 1.86g/l and 0.62g/l, respectively, with 1.0%(v/v) of methanol and 0.5g/1 of ammonium sulfate. The mass doubling time of Methylobacterum sp. GL-10 was in the range of 4-5 hrs. The cell growth and PHB accumulation were severely inhibited at the methanol concentration over than 2% (v/v). To overcome methanol Inhibition, constant feeding and intermittent feedillg fed-batch cultivations were adopted, using C/N molar ratio as a control factor. In constant feeding fed-batch process, cell concentration was increased up to 2.67g/1, and PHB yield was enhanced from 0.33 of batch culture to 0.53. The relatively low cell concentration was caused by methanol accumulated in culture broth at late growth phase. To prevent methanol accumulation and to maximize PHB production, DO-state intermittent fed-batch cultivation was attempted. The cell and PHB concentration was reached up to 4.55g/1 and 1.80g/1, respectively. It was possible to maintain methanol concentration low and also to feed nutrient of desired C/N molar ratio.

The poultry plays a crucial role in the animal industry, providing humans with efficient, high-quality animal protein. The rapid growth and short generational intervals of broilers offer significant benefits compared to other economic animals. This growth and increased muscle mass in modern commercial broilers result from advancements in breeding. However, the high productivity of contemporary broilers indicates they are approaching their physiological limits, with excessive fat accumulation becoming a significant industry issue. This not only reduces lean meat yield and feed efficiency but also negatively impacts consumers, especially due to problematic abdominal fat, which consumes more energy than lean meat production. Laying hens, reared for extended periods, maintain high productivity, producing a substantial number of eggs. This productivity in laying hens, akin to broilers, stems from genetic selection and breeding. For egg production, laying hens require physiological support for necessary nutrients. In this context, yolk fat accumulation is a critical physiological process. Lipoproteins, essential in avian lipid metabolism, are vital for yolk and body fat accumulation. Understanding these lipoproteins and their metabolism is key to developing healthier, more productive animals, offering economic benefits to farmers and improved nutritional quality to consumers. This review focuses on the physiological aspects of dietary fat transport, fatty acid biosynthesis in the liver, fat accumulation in the abdomen and muscles, and lipid deposition in egg yolks in chickens. It also highlights recent research trends in the regulation of fat metabolism in poultry.

Intensive livestock production has increased dramatically in Europe since the 1960s, particularly. in Northern and Central European countries, resulting in large increases in the nutrient pollution of surface and ground waters and in atmospheric emissions of ammonia. This has arisen due to inadequate management of the large amounts manure produced, particularly where there has been insufficient land area used for efficient nutrient reuse in crop production. Nutrient pollution from intensive livestock production has progressively degraded the quality of water resources in many parts of Europe, with eutrophication of many inland and coastal waters, as well as soil acidification and ecosystem degradation. These problems have been known for many years, and although there are various international agreements on transboundary pollution, it is largely left to individual countries to set and enforce standards. Consequently, a number of different approaches are employed, although the common feature of these is to encourage farmers to use the nutrients in animal manures efficiently according to crop requirements, which also reduces the potential for accumulation in soil and subsequent loss to the environment. This paper reviews nutrient production and use in Europe and some of the strategies employed to avoid and reduce nutrient pollution.

The observation of branching pattern on Magnolia denudata Desr. was performed from July 1982 to September 1983 and then computer simulation was carried out. Tree crown pattern depends on not genetic factors but also environmental factors and the determination of branchin pattern which characterized it appears to properly explain the relationships such as branching pattern and allocation of materials through the analysis of influence branches under several assumptions. Now that computer simulated simulated pattern was considered as the accumulation of two factors which controled the growth, it was represented as the stimulated tree which differs in branching rate that described allocation of material necessary for the growth of each branch. There was a tendency of allocation ratio of nutrients, i.e. subbranch to main branch to decrease by the passage of year. Under assumption that branch was branched when accumulated material reached 1, it was possible to represent the allocation of nutrients are residual $nutrient{\times}\frac{1}{1+F};in main; branch, ; residual; nutrient{\times}\frac{F}{1+F}$ in subbranch, A(iA, iC)+$F^(iA-1)$ in current twig. Like this, the basic minute difference of the allocation of nutrients according to the branch resulted in complicated patterns in the tree crown.

To evaluate the impact of effluents from land-based fish farms on the coastal ocean of Wando, Korea, we analyzed inorganic nutrients, particulate organic carbon (POC), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in the effluent and influent of land-based fish farms during the summer (July) of 2021. The average concentrations of nutrients (Dissolved inorganic nitrogen, phosphorus, and silicate; DIN, DIP, and DSi, respectively) in the effluents of this study area were 17±3.7 μM, 1.4±0.7 μM, and 14±1.6 μM, respectively. The average concentrations of POC and DOC were 37±22 μM and 81±13 μM, respectively, with POC accounting for about 30% for total organic carbon in effluents. The Reduced Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen/Total Dissolved Inorganic Nitrogen ratio (0.7), potential short-period index, indicates that the discharge of nutrients excreted by the fish and unconsumed feed into coastal water results in such nutrients being deposited and accumulated in the sediment. Subsequently, this continuous accumulation triggers the release of ammonium ions during organic matter decomposition, and the ammonium-enriched waters that encroach on fish farms as influent seem to be due to the diffusion of high concentrations of ammonium from bottom sediment. Furthermore, we used fluorescence indices to examine the characteristics of organic matter sources, obtaining mean values of 1.54±0.19, 1.06±0.06, and 1.56±0.06 for the humification index, biological index, and fluorescence index, respectively, in the effluent. These results indicate that the organic matters had an autochthonous origin that resulted from microbial decomposition, and such organic matters were rapidly generated and removed by biological activity, likely supplied from the sediment. Our results suggest that the effluent from land-based fish farms could be a potential source of deoxygenation occurrence in coastal areas.

본 연구는 해양투기가 시작된 지 9 년이 지난 현재 황해 투기해역과 주변해역의 해수질 현황을 파악하여 해양투기가 해양환경에 미친 영향을 판단하고, 또한 투기해역 저층의 장기적인 영양염류 축적현상을 파악하여 해양투기의 적정성 여부를 판단하고자 하였다. 투기해역은 주변해역과 비교할 때 영양염류 등이 저층에서 높게 나타나며 pH, 용존산소 포화도 등 기타 화학적 요인의 국지적 변화가 뚜렷하여, 해양투기에 따른 생지화학적 영향이 투기해역에 나타나고 있는 것으로 판단된다. 정점간 화학자료를 통계변수로 하여 수괴에 대한 집괴분석(cluster analysis)을 실시한 결과, 연구해역은 수온약층 상층의 표층수괴와 수온약층 이심의 저층수괴로 크게 2 대분 될 수 있었으며, 저층수괴는 다시 축적현상이 대체로 심화되어 있는 투기해역 저층수괴와 주변해역 저층수괴로 나뉘어 질 수 있었다. 한편 화학종 변수들에 대한 집괴분석 결과, 연구해역의 화학적 특성은 pH, 용존산소 포화도 그리고 COD의 특성과 영양염류 등의 특성에 따라 크게 2 대분 될 수 있었다. 이는 투기해역 저층에서의 유기물 산화에 따른 용존산소의 소비, $CO_2$ 증가에 따른 pH의 감소 그리고 높은 COD와 영양염류 농도의 증가 등의 요인을 반영한다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 이러한 연구결과는 투기해역이 해양투기에 의해 오염이 심화되고 있다는 사실을 뒷받침하는 것으로 사료된다. 한편 1987년 황해에서 해양투기가 시작되기 직전 투기해역 저층에서 연평균 $3.7{\mu}M$이던 총질소는 88년 해양투기 개시 이후 해마다 축적되어 92년에는 연평균 $5.7{\mu}M$로 증가되었으며, 본 연구가 수행된 96년과 98년에는 연평균 $8.3{\mu}M$에서 $9.5{\mu}M$까지 증가되어, 해양투기 이후 현재까지 영양염류가 약 250% 정도 농축되었다. 따라서 현재 황해의 투기해역은 환경용량을 초과하는 과도한 해양투기를 겪고 있으며, 이는 장기적으로는 황해 전반의 해양환경 및 수산환경에 악영향을 줄 가능성이 큰 것으로 판단된다.

Ebb and flow 시스템을 사용한 분화 칼랑코에 재배에서 광도와 양액 농도가 생육, 양분 흡수율 및 배지 내 무기 이온의 집적에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 목적을 달성하기 위하여 광도 3수준(PPF 4.26, 5.51, $9.75mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$)과 양액 농도 3수준(EC 1.2, 1.8, $2.4dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$)을 조합하여 요인실험으로 수행하였다. 분화 재배한 칼랑코에의 생육은 광도와 양액 농도에 뚜렷하게 영향을 받았으며, 광도가 높아질수록 생육이 양호하였다. 각 광도 내에서는 양액의 EC를 $1.8\sim2.4dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$의 범위로 조절할 경우 칼랑코에 지상부 생육이 비교적 양호하였지만, EC를 $2.4dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$로 조절한 처리의 생체중, 건물중 및 엽면적이 가장 크게 나타났다. 광도와 양액 농도는 ebb and flow 시스템의 양액 탱크로부터 양분 및 수분 흡수량과 배지 내 무기 이온의 집적에 유의하게 영향을 미쳤지만, 식물체의 무기물 함량에는 뚜렷한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 광도는 양액의 EC에 비해 이온의 흡수율에 미치는 영향이 상대적으로 적었으며, 양액 EC가 높을 수록 $NO_3^-$, P, K, Mg 이온의 흡수율은 높았다. 이상의 연구결과를 고려할 때 ebb and flow 저면 관수 시스템에서 배지 내 무기 이온 집적에 영향을 주는 주 요인은 양액 농도임을 확인하였으며, 광도와 양액의 EC를 이용하여 배지 내 무기 이온의 집적량을 예측하기 위한 회귀식을 제시하였다.

Mathematical models of the litter accumulation, decay and turnover in the grassland and forest ecosystems of equilibrium state of the annual litter production were established to analyse the decay rates of organic and inorganic constituents of the litter. Those models were validated by an application to a Phragmites longivalvis grassland in a delta of the River Nakdong. The decay constants of cold-water-soluble fractions, other carbohydrates, hot-water-soluble fractions, cellulose, crude fat, lignin and crude protein in the litter were 0.730, 0.583, 0.555, 0.505, 0.479, 0.331 and 0.310 respectively. The amount of mineral nutrients such as N. P. K. Ca and Mg returned annually to the soil were estimated to 7.09, 1.34, 2.36, 4.37 and 0.79g/m2 respectively.
