Experimental infection of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss with viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV, genotype IVa) from olive flounder Paralichtys olivaceus was examined. The cumulative mortalities of three different lot of rainbow trout fry challenged with VHSV ($10^{6.3-7.3}TCID_{50}$/fish) were less than 15%. No difference of virulence was observed in experimental infection using 5 in vivo passaged VHSV and original VHSV. No mortality was observed in seawater-reared rainbow trout (adult) challenged with VHSV ($10^{5.3-6.3}TCID_{50}$/fish) and virus was not detected in the fish. We thus concluded that VHSV from olive flounder has low virulence to rainbow trout fry, but not pathogenic to seawater-rainbow trout (adult).

This study evaluated the quality of commercial extruded pellet (EP) diet of five companies (A, B, C, D and E) for olive flounder Paralichtys olivaceus by biochemical analyses, physical properties and growth performance. The proximate analyses of five EP diets showed $3.2-10.0\%$ of moisture, $49.3-55.5\%$ of crude protein, $4.6-14.7\%$ of crude lipid, $7.0-13.8\%$ of crude ash, $0.7-10.5\%$ of crude fiber, $10.0-27.3\%$ of itrogen free extract (NFE), 304.3-395.4kcal/100g of digestible energy (DE) and 6.1-7.1 of calorie/protein ratio (C/P). Peroxide value (POV) was highest in diet D (47.4 meq/kg) as compared to other diets which in the range of 4.0-11.7 meq/kg. Total amino acid contents were ranged from 46.54 to $55.46\%$ with the highest content in diet B and the lowest content in diet C. Essential amino acid of diet C was lowest $(7.43\%)$ as compared to other diets which in the range of $19.43-20.30\%$. Saturated fatty acid was higher in diet A $(37.65\%)$ followed by diet B $(36.32\%)$, diet E$(34.39\%)$, diet C$(30.95\%)$ and diet D$(30.10\%)$. EPA+DHA were highest in diet E$(30.78\%)$ and lowest in diet C$(15.48\%)$. The floating rate after 6 hours on the sea water was highest in diet C$(100\%)$ followed by diet B$(40\%)$ and A$(10\%)$. However, diets D and E were completely settled down after 1 and 2 hours, respectively. The range of relative expansion rate was $27.2-49.3\%$ for all diets and all reached the peak at 2-3 hours. The water absorption rate of diets C and D was lowest, and diet E was highest at 1 hour after deposition of sea water. Growth rate was higher in diet B$(22.3\%)$ and E$(21.3\%)$. Feed efficiency was higher in diet A$(109.7\%)$ and E$(105.3\%)$ and was significantly lowest in diet D$(80.7\%)$. The protein efficiency ratio was highest in diet E (2.72) and lowest in diet D (1.76). These results suggest that there is a necessity for improvement of nutrients balance and feed physical properties to fulfill the nutrient requirements and digestive characteristics of fishes in commercial EP diets.

Consumption of Paralichthys olivaceus in raw fish have been reported as the cause of outbreaks of food-born illness, and Kudoa septempunctata in muscle of Paralichtys olivaceus was suggested with the causative agent. For this reason, distinguish of vital and dead spore is important to study survivability of Kudoa septempunctata in human intestinal condition and in vitro inactivation of Kudoa septempunctata. In this reports, we suggest NR & MB (Neutral red and Methylene blue) staining method that is easier and simpler than the previously described HO & PI (Hoechst33342 and Propidium iodide) method according to a experimental condition.

The effects of the RM 60 series on DNA replication systems were examined by using simian virus 40 (SV40) DNA replication system in vitro. The RM 60 series inhibited the DNA replication in the initiation step rather than in the elongation step. Polymerase$\alpha$-primase activity and toposiomerase I activity study were performed subsequently, the RM 60 seies increased the polymerase $\alpha$-primase activity in a low dose, but decreased the activity in a higher dose. The topoisomerase I activity was inhibited by the RM 60 series. This result suggests that the RM 60 series might inhibit some molecules which are required to establish replication forks during the initiation step of the DNA replication.

Morphological structure and sporogenesis of myxosporean parasite, Parvicapsula anisocaudata from cultured olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus were examined by light and transmission electron microscopies. Numerous round early stages, spindle-shaped disporic or monosporic pseudoplasmodia, asymmetrical thin-walled mature spores were found inthe lumen of renal tubule and urinary bladder. Long pseudopodia or short projections from cytoplasm of pseudoplasmodia make the parasite attach firmly to host tissues. Spore development was mono- or disporous with no pansporoblast formation. Sporoplasmic cell was partially surrounded by two capsulogenic cells, and capsulogenic cells were enveloped by two flattened valvogenic cells. Capsulogenesis and valvogenesis followed general patterns seen in that of other myxosporean.

To evaluate the biological diversity of fish pathogenic streptococci, 35 strains isolated from diseased olive flounder (Paralichtys olivaceus), were analyzed using a random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique with the oligonucleotide commercial primer 6 (Amersham Biosciences). Api 20 Strep test, drug resistance and artificial infection were carried out for further characterization of the isolates. RAPD fingerprints showed similar pattern in 25 strains (about $71.4\%$ of 35 isolates) and these strains were designed as RA group 1. Similarities greater than $44\%$ were obtained when the Dice coefficient was applied among the isolates of RA 1. On the other hand, the reference Streptococcus iniae showed a similar RAPD profile to the isolates with similarity levels of $40-93.3\%.$ Rh I was suggested to be the dominant group isolated from olive flounder suffering from streptococcosis. However, the isolates of Rh 1 group were not classified into the same species by the Api 20 Strep identification system. There was no peculiarity in drug resistance patterns of Rh I group isolates against 7 antibacterial agents. However, only 3 of 25 isolates $(0.12\%)$ showed oxytetracycline (OTC) resistance and OTC might be a useful chemotherapeutic agent in controlling the streptococcosis by strains of RA I group in olive flounder. Fish injected intraperitoneally with $10^5$ CFU of an isolate of Rh I and RA III group showed $60\%\;and\;50\%$ accumulative mortality for 20 days, respectively ($20\%$ in control or Rh II). However luther comparative studies about differences in virulence between isolates are needed.

Papain family중 하나인 cysteine protease는 근골격계 질환 치료를 위한target molecule로 인식 되어왔으며 Cathepsin B 는 단백질 분해의 초기과정에 관여하는 cysteine proteases 중 하나이다. 본 연구는 넙치의 cathepsin B 유전자의 발현 양상과 넙치 cathepsin B(PoCtB)의 클로닝, 발현 및 효소특성을 분석하였다. cDNA Library Screening을 이용하여 넙치의 cDNA를 클로닝하였다. 넙치의 동정된 cathepsin B 유전자는 993bp의 open reading frame과 330개의 아미노산으로 이루어져있다. Cathepsin B의 propeptide region 내에 GNFD motif와 occluding loop 가 존재함으로써 이것이 명백하게 cathepsin B group이라는 것을 보여주며, 계통 유전학적 분석 결과 다른 종의 cathepsin B에 비해 초창기에 분화되어 나온 것으로 사료된다. mature enzyme인 maPoCtB은 fusion protein인 glutathione S-transferase를 포함하는 pGEX-4T-1 vector에 삽입하여 E.coli 균주인 $DH5{\alpha}$ 내에 발현시켰다. 재조합 단백질인 PoCtB을 과발현 시킨 결과 53kDa의 분자량을 가진다. 넙치 cathepsin B 활성은 Z-Arg-Arg-AMC와 같은 fluorogenic 펩타이드 기질을 이용하여 측정되었고 적정 pH는 pH.7.5 이다.

Two groups of juvenile flounders (90 g/each) were fed on moist pellet feed thrice a day for a period of 8 weeks; the first group, reared in 4 circular (6m $\times$ 0.8 m) tanks (1200 flounders/tank), was fed daily (ED) and the second one on alternate days (EO). There was no significant difference in growth and feed conversion ratio (FCR) between these groups. There was also no difference in chemical composition, except in lipid, which was significantly higher (4.1%) in the ED group than the EO group (3.4%). Food intake and gain in the whole body nitrogen (N) were higher in the ED group but there was no significant difference between these groups in N retention; they excreted almost equal amount (114 vs 112 g) of N. Although phosphorus intake was significantly different between these groups, the flounders retained equal amount (0.5 g) of P in their body and excreted also equal amount (27.6 vs 26.0 g/kg weight gain) of p. Energy intake (2528 kJ) of the ED group was higher than that (2116 kJ) of the EO group. However, there was no significant difference in their energy retention efficiency. Clearly, alternate day feeding regimen led to more efficient utilization of food by the juvenile flounder.
