The black rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli) is an important commercial species in Korean fisheries. We used acoustic telemetry using coded ultrasonic transmitters to track the home ranges and homing routes of the black rockfish that inhabit in the Tongyeong marine ranching area. Twenty-four fish were released at five points. The distance from the capture point (C1) to the released point was 0 (R7), 0.2 (R1), 0.9 (R2), 1.3 (R3) and 1.9 (R4) km. Two of the three fish released at R1 (0.2 km) returned home in under 48hrs. Another was found 0.8km from C1. Two of the five fish released at R2 returned home, but it took over 250 days. None of the ten fish released at R3 and R4 returned home. Three of the ten fish moved 1.1-2.6 km from C1 and were found near a cage or a natural reef. Six fish were released at R7. The younger the fish, the wider was its movement range around the artificial reefs. Fish over 3 years old were likely to move less far.

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effects of a commercial mixed extruded pellet(EP) and raw fish moist pellet(MP) diet on diseases prevalence and serological constituents and HSI of korean rockfish, Sebastes schlegeli grown in two commercial-scale aquaculture farms from June to December in 2009. The growth of MP-fed rockfish was slightly faster than EP-fed rockfish during experimental period, but did not show significant differences. The levels of TCHO, TG, Glucose and TP in the MP-fed rockfish group were higher than those of EP-fed group, whereas there was no significant difference in other biochemical factors of blood between two groups. In addition, bacteria and virus were not detected in both MP- and EP-fed rockfish groups, and the infection rates of gill fluke between two groups did not show clear difference. In conclusion, there was no comparable difference in growth and the health extents of one year rockfish by administration of the commercial mixed extruded pellet(EP) and raw fish moist pellet(MP) diets.

Experiments were carried out to investigate the accumulation and elimination changes in the tissue of juvenile rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli) after sub-chronic dietary Cu (0, 50, 125, 250 and 500 mg/kg) exposure for 60 days and depuration for 30 days. The profile of Cu accumulation in the tissue of rockfish was dependent on the exposure periods and Cu concentration. Liver of rockfish is a more important storage tissue than other tissues, and the order of Cu accumulation in tissues was liver > intestine > kidney > gill > muscle. The accumulation factors were increased with the exposure period in gill, intestine, liver, kidney and muscle. An inverse relationship was observed between the accumulation factor and the exposure concentrations in the gill, kidney and muscle. Cu elimination in tissues of rockfish were decreased with periods for the 30 days of depuration except kidney and muscle. The order of Cu elimination in organs during depuration was intestine > liver > gill.

Aquaculture production of Korean rockfish Sebastes schlegeli has been continuously increased from 2000s and the fish has become the second most important mariculture fish in Korea. However, there are some environmental problems in aquaculture of Korean rockfish recently. In this regards, stress responses to high water temperature was examined via oxygen consumption, blood physiological parameter and endocrinological method. Oxygen consumption of Korean rockfish had significantly increased with rising water temperature. And oxygen consumption during the light time was no different with the dark time. The levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) showed no difference until $27^{\circ}C$, but it had rapidly increased at $30^{\circ}C$. Moreover high water temperature affected to increase in plasma glucose and cortisol levels.

Effects of 4-nonylphenol (4-NP) on mixed function oxygenase (MFO) in the kidneies of rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli) were investigated. The cytochrome P45O (CYP) contents and NADPH cytochrome P450 reductase, NADH cytochrome b5 reductase and 7-ethoxyredorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activities of microsome, glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity of cytosol in rockfish exposed to 4-NP for 7 days using an intraperitoneal injection (25 mg/kg) were quantitatively determined. The GST activity of rockfish exposed to 4-NP were higher, up to 5.2 times higher, than those in the control fish. The activities of NADPH-and NADH-dependent reductases were inhibited. On the other hand, CYP contents and EROD activity of the 4-NP exposed fish demonstrated neither an increasing or decreasing trend.

The suitable temperature and salinity for the long-distance transportation for the rockfish were investigated by assessing survival rate, metabolism, histological change. All experimental groups showed survival rates of 100%. Daily Oxygen consumption rhythm was decreased during nights and increased during days. Average oxygen consumption was significantly decreased as temperature and salinity were decreased. Ammonia excretion was significantly increased as temperature and salinity were decreased. Histological changes were observed in the skin and gill of the rockfish exposed to 10 psu under all the temperature conditions, with larger changes at $4^{\circ}C$. Further, nucleus deformation and uniformity in the cytoplasm were also observed.

Reverse transcription (RT)-PCR and nested PCR methods (2-step PCR) were tested for their ability to detect marine birnavirus (MBV) in cultured rockfish, Sebastes schlegeli. One set of primers for RT-PCR was designed, based on a gene of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV), and another set of primers for nested PCR was designed based on the VP2/NS junction region of MBV. This 2-step PCR method was specific for MBV and sensitivity was heightened when nested PCR was combined to RT-PCR. This 2-step PCR method was useful for detecting MBV not only in diseased fish, but also in asymptomatic fish. These results indicate that this 2-step PCR method is useful for detecting MBV in rockfish.

This study was designed to verify the shelf-life of a freeze dried-block type of convenience food for rockfish Sebastes schlegeli seaweed soup product stored at different storing temperatures (25, 35, and 45℃) for 5 months. The polyunsaturated:saturated fatty acid ratio of the product stored at 25℃ was higher than that of products stored at 35℃ and 45℃ for 5 months. The colorimetric assessment indicated a noticeable decrease in the brightness of product color after 5months of storage at 35℃ and 45℃. Increased storage temperature and time negatively affected the product color. The products stored at 35℃ and/or 45℃ for more than 3 months tended to be more yellowish-red in color than those stored at 25℃ for shorter periods. No disease-causing microorganisms, including Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, posing health hazards to the human, were detected on food safety evaluation, regardless of storage conditions. Based on food visual shelf life simulator the shelf life of the rockfish seaweed soup was estimated approximately 22 months, considering the data from yellowness the safety factor of 0.7.

The conventional histochemical staining were used to study mucosubstances properties of intestinal striated border and goblet cells in four teleostean species, i. e., Sebastes schlegeli, Halichoeres poecilopterus, Bryzoichthys lysimus, and Takifugu pardalis. The following methods were used; PAS, AB pH 2.5, AB pH 1.0, AB pH 2.5-PAS, AF pH 1.7-AB pH 2.5 and HID-AB pH 2.5 stains. The mucosubstances of striated border in the proximal intestine and rectum of Sebastes schlegeli contained with neutral mucin, middle and distal intestine contained with neutral mucin and acid mucin. The striated border of all the intestines of Halichoeres poecilopterus contained with neutral mucin and acid mucin, and those of Bryzoichthys lysimus and Tnkifugu pardalis contained with neutral mucin only. The amounts of neutral mucin were moderate to considerable in Sebastes schlegeli and Halichoeres poecilopterus, minimal to small in Bryzoichthys lysimus and Tnkifugu pardalis. The amounts and properties in mucosubstances of intestinal goblet cells showed differences in species and regions. The intestinal goblet cells of Bryzoichthys lysimus, and Tnkifugu pardalis contained neutral mucin only while Sehastes schlegeli and Halichoeres poecilopterus contained mixture of neutral mucin, sulfomucin and sialomucin. The amounts of neutral mucin were considerable to large in distal intestine and rectum of Tnkifugu pardalis, while moderate to considerable in all intestines of Sehastes schlegeli, all the intestines except for middle intestine of Bryzoichthys lysimus, and proximal and middle intestine of Tnkifugu pardalis. Also it was minimal to small in middle intestine of Halichoeres poecilopterus. The intestinal goblet cells of Sehastes schlegeli contained mixture of minimal amounts of strong sulfmucin, weak sulfomucin and minimal to small amounts of sialomucin, and those of Halichoeres poecilopterus except for rectum contained mixture of minimal to small amounts of strong sulfomucin and sialomucin.

Sex differentiation in the rockfish, Sebastes schlegeli, was studied by using a histological method for the appearance of primordial germ cell, formation of primitive gonad and differentiation of female and male. The primordial germ cells were buried under fibrous mesenchymal tissue between gut and mesonephric duct of pre-larva with a total length (TL) of 6.3 mm at 2 days after parturition. In juvenile of TL $5.2\~5.9cm$ at 65 days after parturition, the gonad composed of a large number of genial cell and formed of cavity along the lateral side of the gonad, differentiated to the ovary. At this time, the gonad formed seminiferous tubules by somatic cells, differentiated to the testis. In juvenile of TL $7.0\~7.2cm$ cm at 115 days after parturition, gonads divided into testis contained pigment cell and ovary absent pigment cell. S. schlegeli differentiated directly into male or female without an intermediate female phase at early indifferentiated stage. Therefore, S. schlegeli belongs to the differentiated type of gonochoristic teleosts. At 350 days after parturition, sex ratio was approximately 1 : 1(p>0.05).
