Various bacterial strains were isolated from rice field ditch water, and their seaweed degrading activities were investigated. They were incubated in a liquid medium of sea tangle (Laminaria iaponica) and sea mustard (Undaria pinnatifida) powder for 3 weeks. Ratios of reduced sugar to total sugar of the liquid medium were measured once a week. Ratios of reduced sugar to total sugar of 27A311, 27C221 27A111 and 27B121 strains were highest. Accordingly, these four strains were incubated in 3 different liquid media of sodium alginate, sea tangle powder, and sea mustard powder for 3 or 4 weeks. The ratios of reduced sugar to total sugar and cell growth were measured once a week. Cell growth was higher in 27A111 and 27C221. Ratios of reduced sugar to total sugar was higher for 27C221 in the liquid mediums with sodium alginate and sea mustard powder, and for 27A111 in the liquid medium with sea tangle powder.

Water temperature data of National Fisheries Research and Development Institute[NFRDI] during periods of 1990 to 2007 were analyzed to investigate the effect of the water temperature on catches of anchovy and Undaria Pinnatifida in coastal of Busan, Korea Our findings indicated that the catches of anchovy and Undaria Pinnatifida were controlled by various oceanographic conditions, mainly water temperature. The appearance of warmer water at stratification above depth. higher anchovy catches and cooler water at stratification below depth, higher Undaria Pinnatifida production.

In order to utilize effectively sea mustard(Undaria pinnatifida) which is excellent in nutrition and medical action, powdered sea mustard juice was prepared and then its chemical composition and the stability of pigments were examined. Powdered sea mustard was made by washing fresh sea mustard with tap water to remove clay and sand, blanching at $85^{\circ}C$ for 20 sec in mixing solution(3% salt+1% $MgCO_3$), hot air drying($50-55^{\circ}C$, 3 hrs) after draining and pulverizing dried sea mustard to 200mesh. And then powdered sea mustard mixtures for juice type beverage was made by adding 0.75% of salt, 1.25% of sugar, 0.2% of ascorbic acid, 0.25% of flour of roasted barley and 0.8% of pulverized sea mustard to 100ml of water. Chemical composition of product was not scarcely changed during processing while amino-nitrogen content was increased and alginic acid and ash contents were decreased. The retention of chlorophyll and total carotenoid pigments of product against fresh sea mustard were 91.6% and 89.5% respectively. Judging from sensory evaluation, color, flavor, taste and dispersibility of powdered sea mustard juice were excellent and undesirable flavor of product was masked by addition of flour of roasted barley.

This study evaluated the effects of adding sea mustard Undaria pinnatifida glycoprotein to the diet of juvenile olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus on its growth, and levels of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), and interleukins. Three experimental diets (U0, U0.5, and U1.0) were formulated that contained different amounts of an extract of U. pinnatifida (0, 0.5, and 1.0%, respectively). Experimental groups were established in triplicate (30 fish/group) and fed for 12 weeks. The experimental group fed 1.0% added U. pinnatifida glycoprotein had the greatest rate of weight gain, which differed significantly from the other experimental groups. SDS-PAGE of the plasma IGF-I and muscle protein showed that the experimental groups taking U. pinnatifida glycoprotein had significantly more IGF-I and a ca. 200 kDa protein, as compared to the control group. In addition, the amount of IGFBP-3 at ca. 43 kDa increased in the group given the U. pinnatifida extract, as compared to the control group. The interluekin-2, -4, -6, and -12 levels paralleled the level of growth factor in the groups given the U. pinnatifida extract. In conclusion, supplementing the diet of olive flounder with U. pinnatifida glycroprotein improved its growth and immunity.

Exo-polygalacturonase (EPG) from Rhizopus sp. was applied to the extraction of alginic acid from sea mustard to increase extraction yield. EPG digestion was examined under distinct conditions within temperatures from $25^{\circ}C$ to 5$0^{\circ}C$, pH 5 to 9, and treatment times from 0 to 36 hr. The optimal conditions fur alginic acid extraction with EPG were: pH 7.0 at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 24 hrs. The EPG hot water extraction yield was 3.4 times higher yield than hot water extraction alone. Using EPG to extract alginic acid from sea mustard should be considered a viable alternative to conventional extraction, with the advantage of reducing hazardous wastes such as strong acid and alkali solutions.

The uptake and retention of strontium-90 from seawater by the seaweed Undaria pinnatifda(sea mustard) varied depending on the plant part, exposure time, salinity, contents of stable strontium and calcium, and presence of chelating agent in the seawater. The concentration factors attained at equilibrium were in the range of 50 and it was evident that the bioaccumulation was largely due to the adsorption of the radionuclide on the surface of seaweed.

Seventy-one marine bacteria decomposing sea tangle (Laminaria japonica) into single cell detritus (SCD) were isolated from sea water, sea tangle, sea mustard (Undaria pinnatifida), sea urchin (Anthocidaris crassispina), star fish (Acanthaster planci), and turban cell (Batillus cornutus), among which 14 strains decreased cutting strength of sea tangle and had alginate-degrading activity. Marine bacterium No. 34 isolated from turban cell showed lowest cutting strength of sea tangle, strongest alginate-degrading activity, and produced high content of $5-10\;{\mu}m$ SCD from sea tangle. This strain was identified as Vibrio sp. based on morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics and named as Vibrio sp. YKW-34.

Two forms of sea mustard, Undaria Pinnatifida were cultured in order to compare the morphological characteristics and the efficiency of production. U. Pinnatifida f. distans was collected from Wando, Korea and U. Pinnatifida f. typica was transplanted from Sanriku, Japan. The latter form grew faster in length and weight than the former. Maximum growth was shown in early April for both forms, and the growth rates decreased after this. Absolute growth rates between the two forms were quite different. Average total lengths at the harvest season was 161.1cm in U. Pinnatifida f. distans and 183.5 em in U. Pinnatifida f. typica and average weights of those two forms were 1,003.4g and 1,314.6g, respectively. The weight of available parts for the salting process of the two forms were 734.8g and 968.5g, respectively. The rates of total length versus the length of the available part of the two forms were $76\%$ and $83\%$, respectively and those of the total length versus weight of the available part of them were $43.8\%$ and $52.7\%$, respectively. The results of this study suggest that the U. pinnatifida f. typica had more available part per unit weight than that of the U. pinnatifida f. distans for the efficiency of salt processing.

For the safety assessment of microbiological and chemical hazards in dried sea mustard, fifteen samples of dried sea mustards Undaria pinnatifida were purchased from the supermarkets distributed throughout Korea. The contamination levels of total viable bacteria, coliforms, Escherichia coli, and nine pathogenic bacteria [Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, Vibrio spp., Clostridium perfringens, Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), Yersinia enterocolitica and Campylobacter jejuni/coli] were quantitatively or qualitatively assessed. Also, the heavy metals (lead, cadmium, total mercury, and inorganic arsenic), and radioactivity (¹³¹I, ¹³⁴CS+¹³⁷CS) were quantitatively assessed. This microbial and chemical analysis was performed using standard methods in Korean food code. The total viable bacteria ranged from 4.3×10² (5.0×10-1.5×10³) CFU/g. Coliforms and E. coli were not detected in all samples (ND, <1 log₁₀ CFU/g). All nine pathogenic bacteria were qualitatively detected as negative. The contamination levels of lead, cadmium, total mercury, and inorganic arsenic were 0.036 (0.015-0.051), 0.117 (0.088-0.156), 0.030 (0.017-0.048), and 0.058 (0.056-0.064) mg/kg, respectively. Radioactivity was also not detected in any sample. The microbial contamination levels determined in the current study may be potentially used as basis for performing microbial risk assessments of dried sea mustards.
