Prolonged aquatic toxicity tests (7-days) of six pesticides to the freshwater fish Oryzias latipes were performed to confirm the adequacy of the exposure times, 48-hr or 96-hr, which has been required by the protocols for the aquatic acute toxicity test. The toxicity curves were plotted for each chemical, and the significance of the difference between lethal threshold concentrations and 48-hr or 96-hr LC50's was analysed statistically. The lethal threshold concentrations of butachlor, fenobucarb, and chlorothalonil were clearly defined on the 5th day, 2nd day, and 2nd day at 0.53mg/1, 10.3mg/l, and 0.085mg/1, respectively. But the toxicity curves of alachlor, diazinon, and iprobenfos continued with no threshold for 7 days. Four out of six test pesticides failed to show the threshold concentration during the 96-hr exposure time. Therefore, the results of the acute toxicity test using 48-hr or 96-hr exposure time would not describe the ideal toxicity of pesticides. It is recommended that the prolonged exposure should be continued long enough to define the threshold adequately.

Marine ecotoxicological standard method using fish larvae was established with the standard test species of Oryzias latipes(Japanese Medaka) and Paralichthys olivaceus(flounder) and with the 7 day $LC_{50}$ as endpoint. Test method referred to the USEPA(1994) with the replacement of test species found in the Korean water. Standard test species were selected in terms of the species supply and ecological importance in Korean waters. Japanese medaka can be reared with small tanks in the lab and has wide tolerance on salinity, and flounder eggs can be easily obtained from commercial fish hatcheries. General conditions for larval fish toxicity test are as follows. The possible salinity ranges for toxicity test were $0{\sim}35\;psu$ for medaka and >20 psu for flounder. Test type was designated as static non-renewal test if the dissolved oxygen in the test chamber does not fall below 4.0 mg/L. Ages of test species were selected as 7 days after hatched for medaka(about 5 mm TL) and 25 days for flounder(about 10 mm TL) because of the low natural mortality after these periods. Test can be accepted when the survival rates are over 80% in control. Also, species sensitivity on standard reference materials(copper, cadmium or zinc) must be provided with the toxicity test results.

Six standard methods for marine ecotoxicological tests were established(or applicated) using marine decomposer, primary producers and consumers. Development processes referred to the standard methods established by USEPA(United States Environmental Protection Agency), international organizations and European methods. However, the standard test species were selected among the domestic species generally found in the Korean waters and sediments. The test methods provide the culture/maintenance of test species, test methods, reproducibility and quality acceptance criteria etc. A total of nine test species were designated including bioluminescent bacteria(Vibrio fischeri), diatom(Skeletonema costatum), seaweed(Ulva pertusa), rotifer(Brachionus plicatilis), benthic copepod(Tigriopus japonicus), benthic amphipods(Mandibulophoxus mai, Monocorophium acherusicum), and fishes(Oryzias latipes, Paralichthys olivaceus). These test species represent the decomposer, primary producer and consumers in marine trophic system in Korean coastal ecosystems, and we recommend the "battery test" including at least one species from the each trophic level for marine ecotoxicological test.

Penicillium sp. PS-113 showed no toxicity against loach(Misgurnus mizolepis) and monnow(Oryzias latipes), a kind of biological indicator, for 96 hours at the concentrations of $1.0\;{\times}\;10^8$ conidia/ml inoculum. Additionally, it showed no toxicity against several plants such as Chinese cabbage(Brassica campestris subsp. napus var. pekinensis), mung bean(Phaseolus radiatus), etc. during their germination at the same concentration of inoculum.

Studies were carried out to compare the bioconcentrations of TCDD and PCB 126 in different sizes of Japanese medaka, and to examine the whole body elimination kinetics of TCDD and PCB 126 in juvenile Japanese medaka. For bioconcentration studies, different sizes of fry and juvenile medaka were exposed statically to varying doses of waterborne TCDD and PCB 126 for 96 hours. (omitted)

Yamamoto (1953)가 송사리, Oryzias latipes를 대상으로 성전환에 관한 일련의 연구결과를 발표한 이후 어류를 대상으로 한 성전환 연구보고가 많이 이루어지고 있고(Clemens and Inslee, 1968; Jalabert et al., 1974; Yamazaki; 1976; Goetz et al., 1979; Donaldson and Hunter, 1982; Tanaka, 1988), 현재 어류의 성제어 기술은 연어, 송어, 넙치 등에서 산업적 응용이 가능한 단계에 이르고 있다. (중략)
