Myostatin (MSTN; also known as GDF8) is a member of the transforming growth factor ${\beta}-superfamily$ of proteins. MSTN negatively regulates mammalian skeletal muscle growth and development by inhibiting myoblast proliferation. Mice and cattle possessing mutant MSTN alleles display a 'double muscling' phenotype characterized by extreme skeletal muscle hypertrophy and/or hyperplasia. We isolated the full-length cDNA of a novel MSTN gene from S. schlegeli muscle tissue and examined its expression pattern in various tissues. The full-length gene (GenBank DQ423474) consists of 1941bp with an open reading frame of 1134 bp, encoding 377 amino acids that show 62-92% amino acid similarity to other vertebrate MSTNs. The predicted protein contains a conserved proteolytic cleavage site (RXRR) and nine conserved cysteine residues at the C terminus. RT-PCR revealed that the unprocessed and prodomain myostatin mRNAs were predominantly present in muscle, with limited expression in other tissues. However, the mature myostatin mRNA was highly expressed in brain and muscle, intermediately expressed in the gills, intestine, heart, and kidney, and weakly expressed in the liver and spleen.

This study was conducted to identify the general conditions for the isolation and in vitro culture of ovary-derived cells in rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli). The effects of three different enzymes on cell retrieval from ovarian tissues were evaluated first, and then the ovary-dissociated cells were cultured under various culture conditions, with varying basal media and culture temperatures, addition of growth factors, and/or culture types. We found that collagenase type I treatment was effective for cell isolation from ovarian tissues. From a total of 42 trials to evaluate the effects of basal media and culture temperatures on cell culture of ovary-dissociated cells, we observed that Leibovitz's L15 medium was more supportive than Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium for culture, and the cells could grow at all three temperatures tested, 15, 20, and $25^{\circ}C$, at least up to passage 2. However, growth factor addition did not improve cell growth. Introduction of suspension culture after monolayer culture expanded the culture period significantly more than did monolayer culture alone. Our results may provide a basis for developing an in vitro system for S. schlegeli germline cell culture, which will ultimately lead to improvement of the species.

A factorial ($4{\times}2{\times}2$) experimental design was employed to determine apparent digestibilities of dry matter (DM), protein, lipid, energy and nitrogen-free extract (NFE) of the test diets containing either ${\alpha}$-potato starch (A-PS), ${\beta}$-potato starch (B-PS), ${\beta}$-corn starch (B-CS) or dextrin (DEX) as dietary carbohydrate energy for juvenile (average weight 30 g) and grower (average weight 300 g) rockfish reared at 13$^{\circ}C$ and 20$^{\circ}C$. Chromic oxide was used as an inert marker. Feces were collected by fecal collectors attached to rearing tanks from triplicate groups of juvenile and grower rockfish. Digestibilities of DM, energy and NFE of the test diets were significantly affected by dietary carbohydrate and water temperature (p<0.01), but not by fish size. DM digestibility of the fish fed the A-PS diet was significantly higher than that of fish fed other treatments, except for the DEX diet at 20$^{\circ}C$. DM digestibility of rockfish fed the B-CS diet was significantly lower than that of other diets. A similar pattern was observed in apparent digestibility of energy. NFE digestibility of fish fed the test diets was significantly affected by carbohydrate and significantly correlated to DM (r = 0.97, p<0.01) and energy (r = 0.99, p<0.01) digestibilities, regardless of water temperature and fish size. NFE digestibility of the fish fed the ${\beta}$-starch diets was relatively lower compared to that of the ${\alpha}$-starch diets, and ranged from 35 to 43% and 20 to 27% for B-PS and B-CS, respectively. The present findings indicate that carbohydrate and water temperature significantly affected digestibilities of dry matter, energy and nitrogen-free extract of rockfish. Among dietary carbohydrates, ${\alpha}$-potato starch could be effectively used as dietary carbohydrate energy for rockfish at 13$^{\circ}C$ and 20$^{\circ}C$.

Experiments were carried out to investigate the accumulation and the histopathological changes in liver of juvenile rockfish, S. schlegeli, after sub-chronic dietary Cu (0, 50, 125, 250 and 500mg/kg) exposure for 60 days. Cu accumulation in liver was significantly increased with dietary exposure period and concentration for 60 days, and has a linear relation with dietary exposure days. After 60 days of Cu dietary exposure, the Cu concentration in the liver was $75.9\pm12.05,\;126.29\pm22.11\;and\;360.44\pm45.26\;{\mu}g/g$ dry weight and was approximately 11-fold, 18-fold and 51-fold higher than in the control diet group at 125, 250 and 500 mg/kg Cu diet group. The accumulation factors were increased with the dietary exposure period in liver of rockfish. In the primary exposed stage, the effect of hepatic tissue in the rockfish exposed to dietary Cu observed enlargement of hepatocytes nuclei, activity of hepatic cells and the swelling of hepatic cells. While exposed time and concentration were increased, the distinct granulation, irregular shape and necrosis of hepatic cells were observed. It was observed that granule degeneration and necrosis showed a part of cells in hepatic tissue after 60 days at 500 mg/kg.

본 연구는 V. harveyi의 luminescence 유무와 해수 어류에 대한 병원성의 관계를 알아보고자 non-luminous V. harveyi 와 luminous V. harveyi 분리 균주로 조피볼락에 대한 병원성 시험을 시행하였다. 시험 균주 V. harveyi 모두 haemolytic activity를 나타내었으며, 어체 내 생존능은 non-luminous V. harveyi 분리 균주 FR 2가 강한 생존능을 나타내었다. 또한 조피볼락에 인위 감염시, non-luminous V. harveyi 분리 균주 FR 2가 강한 병원성을 나타내었으며 luminous V. harveyi 분리 균주 VIB 391은 낮은 병원성을 나타내었다. 결론적으로 조피볼락에서는 non-luminous V. harveyi 분리 균주 FR 2가 강한 병원성을 나타내었으며 luminous V. harveyi 분리 균주 VIB 391은 매우 약한 병원성을 나타내어 luminescence의 유무에 따라 해수 어종에 대한 병원성의 차이가 있을 것으로 생각된다

$12^{\circ}C$에서 DO 농도가 $0.7mg\;L^{-1}$일 때 조피볼락의 폐사가 발생하였으며, 소요시간은 274분이었다. $20^{\circ}C$에서는 DO 농도가 $0.8mg\;L^{-1}$일 때 조피볼락의 폐사가 발생하였으며, 소요시간은 148분이었다. DO 농도의 감소는 스트레스 요인으로 작용하여 $12^{\circ}C$와 $20^{\circ}C$에서 1차적으로 코티졸 및 글루코스 농도를 상승시켰다. 또한 Ht, Hb, AST, ALT, 이온 농도, 삼투질 농도도 $12^{\circ}C$와 $20^{\circ}C$에서 폐사 직전에 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

광주기와 수온의 인위제어에 따른 조피볼락, S. schlegeli의 교미 및 출산 조절을 번식생물학적으로 조사하였다. 어미의 출산유도 사육실험은 자연조건의 대조구와 광.수온 조절의 실험구로 나누어 사육하였다. 실험구에 있어서 광주기 조절은 교미시기에 9L:15D, 출산시기에는 14L:10D로 조절하였다. 수온 조절은 교미시기 12~13$^{\circ}C$, 출산시기에 14~15$^{\circ}C$로 조절하였다. 수컷의 GSI는 1996년 4월에서 8월까지 딱 0.12로 낮은 값을 유지하였고, 대조구는 11월에 1.36$\pm$0.10, 실험구에서는 10월에 1.27$\pm$0.05로 각각 최대값에 달하였다. 암컷의 GSI는 1996년 1월에서 11월까지 약 1.82로 낮은 값을 유지하였고, 대로구는 4월에 46.5$\pm$5.72, 실험구는 1997년 2월에 42.0$\pm$4.24로 각각 최대값을 가졌다. 광주기와 수온을 조절한 실험구는 정소와 난소의발달 양상이 대조구와 유사하였으나, 교미와 출산은 2~3개월 앞당길 수 있었다.

흑산도 근해의 가두리 양식장에서 아가미에 백색 결절을 주 증상으로 하는 조피볼락이 발견 되었다. 간과 신장에서는 병원균의 검출과 병리 조직학적인 변화가 전혀 발견되지 않았다. 아가미의 경우, epitheliocystis, Microcotyle sebastes 및 아가미 새변의 연골내에 미동정 생물(unknown aetiology)의 cyst가 확인되었다. Epitheliocystis의 cyst크기는 약 44.1-68.9 $\mu{m}$이었고 주로 새변의 끝과 중간부위에 기생하고 있었다. 그러나 새변내의 cyst형성에도 불구하고 숙주의 반응은 미약했다. M. sebastes는 2차새변에 고착기를 이용하여 달라붙어있었으며, 이로 인하여 상피세포의 증생이 발생하였다. 미동정 생물체의 경우, cyst는 호산성의 물질로 충만되어 있었고 cyst전체가 연골에 의해 싸여 있는 형태를 보였다. 하지만 이러한 cyst의 형성에도 불구하고 새변의 크기가 증대된 것 이외에는 별다른 병리학적인 증상은 보이지 않았다. 이들 기생충들의 의한 숙주세포의 조직반응은 미약하여 폐사는 유발되지 않았지만, 호흡과 삼투압 조절에는 장애가 있을 것으로 추정된다.

Biochemical and functional properties of acid-soluble collagen (ASC) and pepsin-soluble collagen (PSC) from rockfish skin were characterized. Yield of PSC (90.0%) was higher than that of ASC (63.2%). Both ASC and the PSC consisted of ${\alpha}1$ and ${\alpha}2$ chains, and $\alpha$-cross-linked components. According to the results of hydroxylation of proline and lysine, and FT-IR, no difference between the helical structure of ASC and PSC was identified. Thermal denaturation temperature (TDT) of ASC from rockfish skin was $22.8^{\circ}C$, the same as exhibited in PSC. Both ASC and PSC were higher in water absorption capacity (WAC) and oil absorption capacity (OAC) than other vegetable proteins. According to the results of emulsifying activity (EA) and cooking stability (CS), both ASC and PSC from rockfish skin were inferior compared to the commercial emulsifier (Tween-80). The results of FT-IR suggested that the structure of PSC was slightly different when compared to that of ASC. No differences in solubility were established between ASC and PSC from rockfish skin at various pH and NaCl concentrations.

해양에 있어서 음향은 수심의 계측, 정보의 전달 등 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 최근에 들어와서는 어업에 있어서도 음향을 적극적으로 활용하여 산업에 이용하고자 하는 노력을 하고 있다. 특히 기르는 어업 분야에 있어서 식이음(먹이를 먹을 때 나는 소리) 등을 이용하여 어류의 행동을 제어하는 기술을 개발하고 있다. 본 연구는 어류의 방성음에 관한 기초적 연구의 일환으로, 우리나라 남해안에서 주로 서식하고 있는 참돔과 조피볼락을 대상으로 그들이 내는 방성음을 수록하고, FET분석을 통하여 특성을 파악하였다.
