We quantified temporal and spatial changes in the habitat for fish populations, the distribution of mandarin fish(Siniperca scherzeri) and an introduced species, largemouth bass(Micropterus salmoides) in Lake Paro and inflowing streams. The number of fish species identified in Lake Paro and the tributary streams included 10 families, 24 species and 10 families 30 species, respectively. The dominant fish species in Lake Paro were Zacco platypus, Hemibarbus labeo, Squalidus gracilis majimae, S. scherzeri and Tridentiger brevispinis, Z. platypus, Z. koreanus, and S. gracilis majimae in the inflowing streams. Although the habitat segregation for S. scherzeri and M. salmoides occurs, these two species showed the use of the fishes of the family Gobiidae as an important prey item based on IRI analysis. S. scherzeri and M. salmoides preyed mainly on T. brevispinis(67.4 %) and R. brunneus(84.0 %), respectively. The species preyed on by S. scherzeri and M. salmoides were benthic fishes that inhabit shallow water depths around the lake and have little swimming ability.

The feeding habits of the Japanese jack mackerel Trachurus japonicus were studied in the Southern Sea of the Republic of Korea. To assess the effects of season, sampling was conducted in February (winter), May (spring), and August (summer), 2020. The total length of each fish was measured in 1 cm intervals. Diet composition showed the highest species diversity during winter. Diet composition changed from copepods to euphausiids as the total length of jack mackerel increased, except during winter. The most important seasonal prey were copepods in winter and summer and euphausiids in spring. Species diversity of the zooplankton community structure was highest in winter. Among the zooplankton communities, copepods were dominant in all seasons. Species with a high electivity index in all seasons were relatively large zooplankton of ≥2 mm. Jack mackerel had ontogenetic diet change, exhibited diet selectivity depending on size, and its feeding habits were affected by the zooplankton community structure.

Background: The Slender racer (Orientocoluber spinalis Peters, 1866) has recently been reclassified to the new genus Orientocoluber from Hierophis. Ecological knowledge of this species is limited due to its highly mobile behavior. On 17 July 2020, we captured a female O. spinalis on Oeyeon Island, Boryeong-si, Republic of Korea, and collected its feces for a diet analysis. We observed snake scales from the collected feces and subsequently determined the prey species through morphological and molecular methods. Results: We initially hypothesized that the extracted fecal sample scales belonged to H. vibakari, due to their thin keel and rhombus shape. We also amplified H. vibakari DNA from the extracted fecal sample using Illumina sequencing methods. Our morphological and molecular results suggest that O. spinalis predates H. vibakari on Oeyeon Island. Conclusion: This is the first report of O. spinalis predating another snake species, ophiophagy, and implies that H. vibakari may be a crucial prey item for O. spinalis on Oeyeon Island.

The feeding habits of Hexagrammos otakii were studied by analyzing the stomach contents of 508 specimens collected from July 2009 to December 2010 off the Yeosu coast of Korea. The total length of the H. otakii specimens ranged from 10.7 to 41.5 cm. H. otakii was found to be a bottom-feeding carnivore that mainly consumed brachyura, amphipoda, but also sonsumed cephalopoda, pisces, anomura, polychaeta, and gastropoda. It was shown through relative importance analysis that the benthic share was 58.1% for brachyura, 24.5% for amphipoda, 7.5% for caridea, and 7.3% for pisces. Brachyura was the main prey item for H. otakii, occupying 35% of the stomach contents. The proportion of brachyura and amphipoda decreased with the growth of H. otakii, and their decrease paralleled the increased consumption of pisces. The shift in feeding habits to larger prey organisms with increasing fish size seems to be one of survival strategies to maximize net energy gain.

Spider capture silk is a natural scaffolding material that outperforms most synthetic materials in terms of its combination of strength and elasticity. Among the various kinds of silk threads, cribellar thread is the most primitive prey-capturing type of spider web material. We analyzed the functional organization of the sieve-like cribellum spigots and specialized calamistral comb bristles for capture thread production by the titanoecid spider Nurscia albofasciata. The outer cribellar surface is covered with thousands of tiny spigots, and the cribellar plate produces non-sticky threads composed of thousands of fine nanofibers. N. albofasciata cribellar spigots are typically about 10 ㎛ long, and each spigot appears as a long individual shaft with a pagoda-like tiered tip. The five distinct segments comprising each spigot is a defining characteristic of this spider. This segmented and flexible structure not only allows for spigots to bend individually and join with adjacent spigots, but it also enables spigots to draw the silk fibrils from their cribella with rows of calamistral leg bristles to form cribellar prey-capture threads.

잔물땡땡이(Hydrochara affinis) 유충의 지하집모기(Culex pipiens molestus)와 토고숲모기 (Ochlerotatus togoi)에 대한 포식효율과 먹이선호도를 실험하였다. 포식실험에는 투명한 원통형 용기(지름 100 mm, 높이 40 mm, 수심 15 mm)가 사용되었으며, $25^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 (16L : 8D)동안 진행되었다. 잔물땡땡이 개체당 모기 섭식 효율을 조사하기 위해 각 잔물땡땡이 유충에 대해 서로 다른 먹이조건(1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 및 128개체)을 주었고, 각 조건별로 5회씩 반복실험 하였다. 모기유충 2종에 대한 먹이 선호도를 조사하기 위해 잔물땡땡이 1령 유충에 지하집모기와 토고숲모기 유충 32개체씩을 동시에 투여하여 5회 반복실험 하였다. 실험의 결과 모기유충 2종에 대한 잔물땡땡이 유충의 포식곡선은 로그함수의 곡선으로 나타났으며, 잔물땡땡이 유충의 영기가 증가함에 따라 포식수도 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 포식곡선으로부터 잔물땡땡이 3령 유충의 1일 최대 포식수를 산출한 결과, 지하집모기는 926개체를, 토고숲모기는 304개체를 포식 할 것으로 추정되었다. Holling's disk equation을 이용하여 추정한 결과, 잔물땡땡이 유충의 영간, 그리고 모기유충의 종간에 모기유충 포식수의 차이가 발생하는 것은 Attack rate보다는 Handling time의 차이에 기인한 것으로 사료된다. Handling time은 잔물땡땡이 유충이 성장함에 따라 급격히 감소하였으며, 토고숲모기가 지하집모기에 비해 2배가량 길게 나타났다.

붕장어(Conger myriaster)는 2018년 6월부터 2019년 5월까지 거제 구조라, 망치 인근해역에서 장구형통발을 이용하여 매달 1회 채집해 이용하였으며, 항문장(Preanus length)과 습중량을 각각 0.1 cm, 0.1 g까지 측정한 뒤 위를 적출하여 가능한 종 수준까지 분석하였다. 위내용물 분석결과는 각 먹이생물에 대한 출현빈도(%F), 개체수비(%N), 습중량비(%W)를 구하여 상대 중요도지수비(%IRI)로 수치화하여 주 먹이생물과 크기군에 따른 먹이조성 변화를 알아보았다. 붕장어의 가장 중요한 먹이생물은 어류(Pisces)였으며, 그중 멸치(Engraulis japonicus)가 가장 우점한 먹이생물로 확인되었다. 그 외, 새우류(Macrura), 패충류(Ostracoda), 갯지렁이류(Polychaeta), 게류(Brachyura) 등 다양한 먹이생물을 섭식하였지만 그 양은 많지 않았다. 과거 광양만에서 이루어진 연구에서는 붕장어의 주 먹이생물이 날개망둑(Favonigobius gymnauchen)으로 나타나 이번 연구결과와 다소 차이가 있었다. 성장에 따른 위내용물 조성의 변화를 살펴본 결과, 뚜렷한 먹이전환이 나타나지 않았다. 붕장어는 성장함에 따라 개체당 평균 먹이생물의 개체수(mN/ST)는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 평균 먹이생물의 중량(mW/ST)은 붕장어의 항문장이 증가함에 따라 유의하게 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

Water temperature is known to affect the growth and feeding of marine dinoflagellates. Each dinoflagellate species grows well at a certain optimal temperature but dies at very cold and hot temperatures. Thus, changes in water temperatures driven by global warming and extremely high or low temperatures can affect the distribution of dinoflagellates. Yihiella yeosuensis is a mixotrophic dinoflagellate that can feed on only the cryptophyte Teleaulax amphioxeia and the chlorophyte Pyramimonas sp. Furthermore, it grows fast mixotrophically but rarely grows photosynthetically. We explored the direct and indirect effects of water temperature on the growth and ingestion rates of Y. yeosuensis feeding on T. amphioxeia and the growth rates of T. amphioxeia and Pyramimonas sp. under 7 different water temperatures (5-35℃). Both the autotrophic and mixotrophic growth rates of Y. yeosuensis on T. amphioxeia were significantly affected by temperature. Under the mixotrophic and autotrophic conditions, Y. yeosuensis survived at 10-25℃, but died at 5℃ and ≥30℃. The maximum mixotrophic growth rate of Y. yeosuensis on T. amphioxeia (1.16 d^-1) was achieved at 25℃, whereas the maximum autotrophic growth rate (0.16 d^-1) was achieved at 15℃. The maximum ingestion rate of Y. yeosuensis on T. amphioxeia (0.24 ng C predator^-1 d^-1) was achieved at 25℃. The cells of T. amphioxeia survived at 10-25℃, but died at 5 and ≥30℃. The cells of Pyramimonas sp. survived at 5-25℃, but died at 30℃. The maximum growth rate of T. amphioxeia (0.72 d^-1) and Pyramimonas sp. (0.75 d^-1) was achieved at 25℃. The abundance of Y. yeosuensis is expected to be high at 25℃, at which its two prey species have their highest growth rates, whereas Y. yeosuensis is expected to be rare or absent at 5℃ or ≥30℃ at which its two prey species do not survive or grow. Therefore, temperature can directly or indirectly affect the population dynamics and distribution of Y. yeosuensis.
