The study of automatic monitoring and analysis of marine environment in Korea is not enough. Recently, the marine monitoring technology is actively being studied since the sea is a rich repository of natural resources that is taken notice in the world. In particular, the marine environment data should be collected continuously in order to understand and analyze the marine environment, however the marine environment monitoring is limited in many area yet. The prediction of marine disaster by automatic collecting marine environment data and analyzing the collected data can contribute to minimized the damages with respect to marine pollution of oil spill and fisheries damage by red tide blooms and marine environment upsets. In this paper, we proposed the marine environment monitoring and analysis system model. The proposed system automatically collects the marine environment information for monitoring the marine environment intelligently. Also it predicts the marine disaster by analyzing the collected ocean data.

The National Agrobiodiversity Center (NAS, RDA, Republic of Korea) has continually collected new valuable genetic resources. In this study, we regenerated conserved kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) germplasm which couldn't be available because of seed quantity and quality, and we also surveyed their morphological characters for the sustainable utilization. A total of 431 kidney bean accessions were regenerated and 18 morphological traits were surveyed according to the characterization guideline of RDA Genebank. Among the surveyed traits, flowering time ranged from May 23 to September 4 and 73.8% of tested accessions were mainly flowering in June. The maturity time ranged from July 1 to October 15 and main flowering time was July (91.4%). For plant type, 270 accs (62.6%) were climbing type followed by medium type of 86 accs (20.0%) and dwarf type of 65 accs (15.1%). The seed coat colors were various; yellow (34.6%), white (22.3%), brown (17.9%), red (10.7%), black (5.8%), violet (11%), pink (1.4%), navy (0.9%). Principal component analysis indicated that five principal components (PCs) with Eigen values >1 accounted for more than 65.8% variability. The first PC was more related to growth habits such as growth type, flowering time, and plant type. The second and third PCs showed higher values of the pigment characters such as seed coat color, flower color, and pod color. In fourth and fifty PCs, there were the higher positive values of the pod shapes. Our results provided insight into the characteristics kidney beans, thus the utilization basis of kidney beans might be elevated for bio-industry.

Scrippsiella trochoidea is a dinoflagellate responsible for red tide in early spring in southern coastal water. Marine bacteria appear to exert critical roles on the development and decay of phytoplankton bloom in marine ecosystem. It is likely that marine bacteria, Pseudomonas spp., share some metabolic processes with S. trochoidea. To investigate interactions between S. trochoidea and Pseudomonas spp. directly, cysts of S. trochoidea isolated from the bottom mud in Masan Bay have been germinated and cultured. From the S. trochoidea cultured medium, we have isolated Pseudomonas spp., a dominant and cultured. From the S. trochoidea cultured medium, we have isolated Pseudomonas spp., a dominant species. Both of Pseudomonas spp. and S trochoidea have been simultaneously inoculated into the sterilized sea water and cultured to examine the change of fatty acids. The major fatty acids that showed increases in composition during the dispecific culture were $C_{18:0/},{\;}C_{20:5}{\;}and{\;}C_{22:5}$ in S. trochoidea, and in Pseudomonas spp. Especially, $C_{20:5}{\;}and{\;}C_{18:0}$ were increased in S. trochoidea but decreased in Pseudomonas spp. These results strongly suggest that two species share some processes in their fatty acid metabolism.

A group of 132 pre-school children with a mean age of six years and one month was the subjects of this investigation. These children were members of three nursery schools locating in Kwang-ju city. Each child's mother replied to a questionaire which included 42 food items and 4 questions. The results showed that the food preference of each child was variable and the group as a whole expressed more positive than negative feelings. The average number of foods liked per child was 22.9(range: $7{\sim}42$) among 42 food items. Peach, Apple, Strawberry, Laver, Egg, Tomato, Sweet Potato, Tangerine Orange and Beef were ranked in descending order of 'like' ratings. The average number of foods refused was 4.9 (range: $0{\sim}25$). Onion, Liver, Red Pepper Leaf, Root of Bellflower, Taro, Wild Seasame Leaf, Egg Plant, Cabbage, Water Cress and Bracken were ranked in descending order of 'refuse' ratings. The odor of hurting feelings, the hot taste and the flabby texture were the reasons why the children refused these foods. The average number of foods unexperienced was 4.4 (range: $0{\sim}14$). Kidney, Dried Small Whitebail, Tangle (DA SHI MA), Liver, SA RI Mushroom, Acorn Mook, Dried Fragrant Mushroom, Pine Agaric, Root of Bellflower and Ped Pepper Leaf were ranked in descending order of 'unexperience' ratings. Children's 'like' rating toward total foods was 57.3% and the 'refuse' rating was 11.7%. Among eight food groups, fruits showed the highest favority (91.4%) and mushroom showed the least (25.9%). The difference between male and female in the preference of total foods did not showed significant level. But the difference were significant in those of individual food groups; other vegetables, green and yellow leafy vegetables, mushrooms(above, p.<01), fishes and shellfish and sea weeds (above, p<.05). Children who had experienced meals missed rated 59.1% and 34.1% of these children missed meals once a week. The main reason for maels missed was due to the heavey snacks before meal time. Children who had snacks twice a day rated 45.6%. Main foods used as their snacks were starch foods (Cake, Biscuit, Sweet Potato) and citrous foods (Fruits, Apple, Tangerine).

This study focused on the reconstructional point of Shinan ship-wreck that was excavated between $1976\~1984$. The wreck, which might be sunk in the beginning of the 14th century, is regarded as a vessel of Yuan dynasty, China. This paper tried to find out some structural characteristics and principal dimensions for restoration. The Shinan shipwreck's structural characteristics are summarized as follow, 1) The Shinan shipwreck is formed V-shaped cross section with bar keel, 2) The vessel is divided 8 holds by 7 bulkheads. 3) The ship has flat type stem and transome stern. 4) A rabbeted clinker -built is basically adopted on planking joint. 5) A wooden sheathing, which means a sort of protecting board against marine insects, is covered outside of the main hull, 6) For making an watertight structure, oakum and lime mixtured t'ung-oil are used along the seam of planking and bulkhead. 7) A V-shaped deep water-way exists at both deck side. 8) The shipwreck is believed to have 2 masts at least. 9) The shiptimbers are classified as Chinese Red Pine(Pinus Massonina) which is mainly grown in the southern part of China. Considering as mentioned above the structural characteristics, Shinan ship-wreck could be classified as Chinese Fu-chuan type(복선형) of sea-going ship. The Shinan ship's principal dimensions which are calculated on the basis of Chinese traditional shipbuilding custom, are as follow, Length overall(L.O.A). : 34.80m Length water line(L.W.L) : 24.90m Breadth(B.max.) : 11m Breadth(B) : 10m Depth at keel line(H) : 3.75m Draft(D). : 3.15m Freeboard(F) : 0.65m Ratio, length/breadth(L/B). : 2.26 Ration, breadth/depth(B/D) : 3.5 Height of stem : 7m Height of stern : 10m Displacement : ab.340ton.

The benthic algal community structures of the seaweed biomass, vertical distribution of dominant seaweeds, and species composition were examined on the rocky shores of Ongdo, Jusamdo, and Woejodo Islands, Korea, in August 2006. A total of 68 seaweeds were identified, comprising 5 green, 11 brown, and 52 red algae from the three study sites. The number of species at Ongdo (32 species) was less than that at Jusamdo (45 species) and Woejodo (44 species). Jusamdo exhibited the maximum seaweed biomass (73.99 g dry $wt/m^2$), while the minimum value was found at Woejodo (36.90 g dry $wt/m^2$). On the three islands, coarsely branched forms were the most dominant functional group in terms of species number and biomass among benthic algal species. The dominant species were Gelidium amansii, Chondrus ocellatus, and Chrysymenia wrightii at Ongdo, Sargasum thunbergii, Ulva pertusa, and Sargassum fusiformis at Jusamdo, and U. pertusa, Undaria pinnatifida, and Corallina pilulifera at Woejodo. Perennial seaweeds were abundant at Ongdo (G. amansii and C. ocellatus) and Jusamdo (S. thunbergii and S. fusiformis), whereas the sheet form of U. pertusa was relatively abundant at Woejodo Island.

In my search of microbial source of novel enzymes, a marine actinomycetes, A1460, producing haloperoxidase was isolated from macroalgae from south sea, Korea and studied for physiological and biochemical properties. The haloperoxidation reaction was followed by the bromination of phenol red in the presence of hydrogen peroxide and potassium bromide. The haloperoxidase was partially purified from the cell extract with $35\sim75%$ ammonium sulfate precipitation, High-Q anion exchange chromatography, gel filtration chromatography, hydroxyapetite chromatography and hydrophobic interaction chromatography to a yield of 42% and purification fold of 70. This enzyme showed relatively high heat stability without losing 50% of activity after 1 hr incubation at $60^{\circ}C$. The highest activity was found at $45^{\circ}C$, and the optimal pH was about pH 7, but higher stability was observed at pH 8. Azide and cyanide ion showed strong inhibition at less than 1 $\mu M$ level suggesting that the enzyme was Fe ion dependent haloperoxidase.

This study was performed to promote the effective utilization of edible marine resources and to develop functional food material from edible marine resource extracts for inhibiting lipid accumulation in liver. Edible marine resource extracts (ME) were prepared by hot water (MWE) and 80% ethanolic (MEE), and both the MWE and MEE extracts were assessed as to their cell cytotoxicity, and Oil Red O staining. Results demonstrated that ME showed no cytotoxic effects. However, treatment with MEE in the concentration of 1000, 500, and 250 ${\mu}g/mL$ significantly inhibited the lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells compared to MWE. Especially, among the 80% ethanolic extracts, Pagrus major, Larimichthys polyactis, Clupea pallasii, Octopus minor, Enteroctopus dofleini, Styela clava, dried sea mustard, and Enteromorpha intestinalis showed greater lipid accumulation inhibitory activity than the others.

To investigate the causes of emaciation in cultured olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus in Korea. We performed histological examinations and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with a new primer set. In most cases, the most severe emaciation was observed in the abdominal area Using PCR on extracted livers, kidneys, spleens, gills, brains, and intestines, we found that areas around the kidneys and intestines were as almost always positive. In significantly emaciated fish, PCR was positive in all internal organs except the gills. In addition, the homology of 812-bp nucleotide sequences of the 28S rRNA gene was more than 99% in emaciated fish. Partial homology with Myxobolus spp. and Cystodiscus axonis, whose data were obtained from GenBank was 86% and 88%, respectively. Histological examinations detected spores in kidneys and intestines but not in other organs. We also performed cohabitation experiments to determine whether infections could be exchanged among species or only within species. Uninfected olive flounder and red sea bream, Pagrus major, cohabitating with emaciated olive flounder showed 100% and 0% cumulative mortality, respectively. Thus the cause of emaciation in cultured olive flounder of Korea is likely due to a new parasite.

Gynogenetic diploid of olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus were induced by cold shock to fertilized eggs with red sea bream, Paragus major sperm that had been genetically inactivated with 4,800 ergs/$mm^2$ ultraviolet (UV) rays. Cold shock to the eggs at $2^{\circ}C$ for 45 minutes proved to be optimum condition to retain the second polar body. At this treatment, hatching rates of normal fry obtained were more than $33.8\%$. No different growth rates were observed up to 200 days after hatching between control and gynogenetic diploid offsprings. However, body weights of gynogenetic diploids were significantly heavier than that of control 300 days after hatching (p> 0.05). A proportion of female in gynogenetic diploid was significantly higher than that in the control (p< 0.01).
