Waste concentration and waste generation rate in seawater aquaria by common conger (Astrocongey myriaster) and olive flounder (Paralichyhus olivaceus) were investigated. The initial fish density of common conger and olive flounder were $3{\%}\;and \;2.8{\%}$ of total weight of aquarium water, respectively Wastes in the seawater aquaria, such as protein, total suspended solid (TSS), ammonia, turbidity and chemical oxygen demand (COD) increased with days after stocking. Protein generation rate of common conger increased until 1 day after stocking while that of olive flounder increased until 3 days. The average protein generation rates of common conger and olive flounder were $0.28g/kg{\cdot}day\;and\;0.21g/kg{\cdot}day$, respectively. The trends of other waste generation rate were similar to protein generation rate.

Application of wood vinegar in fish farms has been used for the disinfection of pathogenic microorganisms and the treatment of infectious diseases. This study was performed to know the acute toxicity of wood vinegar to carp Cyprinus carpio, flounder Paralichyhus olivaceus, rock fish Sebastes schlegeli and black sea bream Pagrus major. The 24 hr, 48 hr and 96 hr LC50 respectively were: carp 1243, 1143 and 1016 ppm; flounder 1397, 1253 and 1226 ppm; rock fish 1058, 993 and 967 ppm; and black sea bream 650, 616 and 596 ppm. Death and survival of fish exposed to lethal concentrations of wood vinegar were apparently related to massive necrosis, fusion and epithelial lifting of gill lamellar epithelium, suggesting the osmotic imbalance and lack of oxygen uptake.
