본 연구는 한국의 서남해 연안의 새우 양식장을 대상으로 pH, 염분, 용존산소, 암모니아질소 및 황화수소와 같은 새우 양식장의 수질과 저질을 조사한 후, 새우 양식장의 수질과 저질을 개선할 수 있는 방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 즉, 맑은 날씨와 흐린 날씨로 구분하여 현장의 새우 양식장에서의 용존산소의 일 변화를 측정한 결과, 정도의 차이는 있었으나 정오부터 오후 6시까지 증가하다가 점점 감소한 후 새벽 6시 경에 최소값을 보인 후 다시 점점 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이와 같은 결과는 새우 양식장의 관리가 취약한 새벽녘에 용존산소의 부족으로 인해 새우가 질식사 학 수 있으며, 계속적인 저 산소는 저질을 악화시켜 암모니아질소나 황화수소의 농도를 증가시킬 수 있음을 시사하므로 지나치게 용존산소가 낮은 경우와 용존산소가 지나치게 높은 경우에는 인위적 또는 자동적으로 용존산소를 조전할 필요가 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 또한, 현장의 새우 양식장에서의 암모니아 질소는 새우 양식장의 수질 기준을 초과하는 0.172-2.298 ppm으로 높게 나타나고 있었고, 황화수소 농도도 새우 양식장의 농도 기준을 훨씬 상회하는 0.075 ppm까지 나타나고 있어 암모니아질소의 생성 억제와 황화수소의 발생 억제가 새우 양식장의 수질관리에 있어 중요한 요인임을 알 수 있었다.

Loss and damage have become a vital contemporary issue in climate change studies and actions in developing countries. However, studies are scant on this in the fisheries sector around the world. In Bangladesh, there is no study on the loss and damage in fisheries dependent communities. This study assesses economic and non-economic loss and damage to coastal shrimp farms due to cyclone Bulbul in Gabura Union of Shyamnagar Upazila, Satkhira district, using a mixed method approach. Results show that all shrimp farms' dependent communities are affected by cyclone Bulbul to some extent. About 14%, 57%, and 29% of the farms were totally, heavily and moderately damaged due to farm inundation and dyke damage. The estimated mean loss and damage per shrimp farm was worth USD 4,633. Around 31% and 72% of the farms' fencing nets and traps were lost, which was worth USD 333 per farm. There were also loss and damage to other resources such as houses, solar panels, livestock and agricultural crops where the estimated mean loss and damage per household was worth USD 3,170. This study reported that the rich shrimp farmers encountered proportionately more economic loss and damage than their poor counterparts. However, this does not mean that the poor suffered less. The current study found a range of non-economic loss and damage in different aspects of the shrimp farmers' household members such as unbearable mental pain, deterioration of health, physical injuries, disabilities, etc. and access to services (e.g., inadequate food, lack of safe drinking water, lack of medical facilities, disruption of education systems), social infrastructure (e.g., damage of roads and markets) and disturbance of cultural functions. The findings suggest that urgent short- and long-term actions may be taken to save the aquaculture farms and dependent livelihoods from economic and non-economic loss and damage to cyclones in future.

The advantage of biofloc technology (BFT) in aquaculture is in the prevention of pathogenic transmission. In this study, we performed an investigation on viral, bacterial, and microsporidian parasite infections targeting a total of 194 whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei reared in seven BFT-farms on the west coast of Korea in 2021. Hepatopancreatic and cuticular epithelium and pereiopods tissues of shrimp were tested for the four pathogens, Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei (EHP), Vibrio parahaemolyticus causing Acute Hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (VP_AHPND), white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), and hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV). The microsporidian parasite EHP was detected in the hepatopancreatic tissue of BFT whiteleg shrimp in the Ganghwa region, whereas no other pathogenic bacteria or virus was detected on the shrimp in the seven BFT-farms. As a result of bacterial flora in the rearing water of BFT whiteleg shrimp using DNA microbiome technology, V. chemaguriensis and V. alfacsensis were contained at 0.05% and 0.01%, respectively, but no VP_AHPND was detected. These findings will serve as a basis for supporting safe BFT-aquaculture of whiteleg shrimp.

White-spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is a devastating, infectious virus affecting shrimp. Although sensitive techniques involving PCR have been developed to assist farmers in screening shrimp (brood stock) for WSSV prior to stocking ponds, such practices have not yet been applied in Korea. Despite the rationality of implementing screening, there has been some doubt as to whether the stocking of WSSV-PCR-negative fly epidemiologically decreases white-spot disease outbreaks. Here, we report a retrospective analysis of data from shrimp farms in the western coast of Korea where WSSV-PCR-negative brood stocks were used to stock rearing ponds. A total of 366 shrimp from Heuksan Island were sampled for WSSV with PCR. Of the tested shrimp, 7.2% (28 brood stocks) were identified as WSSV positive; only WSSV-PCR-negative shrimp were used for brood stocks. Total unit production (final shrimp production/ the area of the ponds) was higher, at 1.96, in ponds where WSSV-PCR-negative shrimp were used, as compared with 1.02 in other ponds in Korea in 2004. This retrospective analysis of WSSV in Korea may be useful to the shrimp aquaculture industry, suggesting a testable hypothesis that may contribute to the eventual control of WSSV outbreaks.

Viral pathogens, alongside other pathogens, have major effects on crustacean aquaculture. Hepatopancreatic parvovirus (HPV) is an emerging virus in the shrimp industry and has been detected in shrimp farms worldwide. The HPV genome has greater diversity than other shrimp viruses owing to its wide host range and geographical distribution. Therefore, developing diagnostic tools is essential to detect even small copy numbers from the target region of native HPV isolates. We have developed two easy to use quantitative real-time PCR kits, called Green Star and Dual Star, which contain all of the necessary components for real-time PCR, including HPV primers, using the primers obtained from the sequences of HPV isolates from Korea, and analyzed their specificity, efficiency, and reproducibility. These two kits could detect from 1 to $1{\times}10^9$ copies of cloned HPV DNA. The minimum detection limits obtained from HPV-infected shrimp were $7.74{\times}10^1$ and $9.06{\times}10^1$ copies in the Green Star and Dual Star assay kits, respectively. These kits can be used for rapid, sensitive, and efficient screening for HPV isolates from Korea before the introduction of postlarval stages into culture ponds, thereby decreasing the incidence of early development of the disease.

Environmental monitoring was conducted to identify the characteristics and patterns of sedimentary environments of tidal flats in 12 areas on the west coast of Korea. The habitat of the mud shrimp Upogebia major contained higher organic and mud contents compared to the habitat of the manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum. In particular, the mud content increased from 84.38% to 89.18% in the Seongam-4 area, where the mud shrimp and manila clam coexist, and the mean grain size exhibited a finer particle size, from 5.48 Φ to 5.80 Φ. In the mud shrimp habitat, the sediment mud content was > 60% and the mean grain size was > 5 Φ. Additionally, the mud shrimp only inhabited open coast tidal flat areas. The management of shellfish aquaculture farms by physical methods should be continued based on comparison of the sedimentary environments in the Boryeong and Seongam areas in response to the damage to the mud shrimp habitat.

Since 1993, the White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) disease occurred in China among cultured shrimps resulting in mass mortality. Epizootiological surveys undertaken during the outbreak period of 1993-1994 indicated that all stages of Penaeus chinensis, P. japonicus and P. monodon were infected. Consequent to the transport of contaminated shrimp seedlings and seawater, the disease spread all over the farms of China. The disease was more rapidly transmitted at temperatures above $25^{\circ}C$. Challenge experiments showed the causative agent was highly virulent. White spots appeared on the carapace of both span-taneous and experimentally infected shrimps. Moribund shrimps contained turbid hemolymph, hypertrophied Iymphoid organ and a necrotic mid-gut gland. Electron microscopy showed the presence of viral particles in the gills, stomach, lymphoid organ, and epidermal tissue of the infected shrimp. The visions were slightly ovoid with an envelope and averaged 350 $\times$ 150 nm; nucleocapsids measured 375 $\times$ 157 nm. With discontinuous sucrose gradient of 35, 50 and 60% (w/v), the virus was separated from hemolymph of the infected shrimp. The estimated molecular weight of genomic DNA was 237 Kb with EcoR I, 247 Kb with Hind III and 241kb with Pst I. A total of 9 hybridoma colones secreting monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were produced from mouse myeloma and spleen cells immunized with WSSV. The immunofluorescence assay of gill tissue showed that the MAbs reacted with diseased but not with healthy shrimp. The MAbs belonged to IgGl, IgG2b subclass and IgM class, all with kappa light Immune-electron-microscopy with colloidal gold marker showed the presence of 5 MAbs epitopes on the envelope and one on the capsid of the virus. Baculoviral mid-gut gland necrosis showed the specificity of the MAbs produced. For diagnosis 5 different methods were selected. Using Kimura primers for PCR, or MAbs for immunoblot, ELISA or FAT method, in situ hybridization was carried out to show the gene. All these methods detected WSSV in the organ samples of the diseased shrimp but not in healthy one.

흰반점바이러스(WSSV, white spot syndrome virus)는 세계적으로 새우양식산업에 가장 심각한 피해를 주는 질병으로 우리나라에는 1993년 서해안에서 처음 보고된 이래 해마다 축제식 새우양식장에 반복적으로 대량폐사를 가져오고 있다. WSSV는 전염성이 매우 강한 바이러스로서 새우양식장에 내에서 감염된 새우들 간에 공식에 의하여 빠르게 감염이 확산될 수 있다. 황복과 같은 육식성 어류는 감염새우 혹은 약한 새우를 선택적으로 포식함으로써 바이러스의 발병을 지연 혹은 억제시킬 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있어 양식현장에서 새우와 함께 복합적으로 양식이 시도되고 있지만 황복의 감염새우에 대한 선택적 포식의 정도와 효과에 대해서는 보고되어 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 WSSV에 감염된 새우와 비감염된 건강한 새우를 대상으로 사육생물의 연령과 크기에 따른 황복의 선택적 포식효과를 조사하기 위하여 흰다리새우 Litopenaeus vannamei의 치하와 5개월산 황복, 중형 새우와 16개월산 황복으로 구분하여 원형수조($28.26\;m^2$)에서 사육실험을 실시한 결과, 치하와 5개월산 황복의 복합사육의 경우 건강새우와 감염새우의 생존율은 각각 89.1%, 46.0%였으며 중형새우와 16개월산 황복의 실험에서는 건강새우와 감염새우의 생존율이 각각 48%, 4%로서 모두 감염새우가 건강새우에 비해 생존율이 크게 떨어져 황복은 건강새우보다는 감염새우를 선택적으로 포식하는 것으로 나타났다. 황복은 크기에 관계없이 단위체중당 하루에 포식하는 새우의 총 중량은 크게 차이가 나지 않으며 새우의 크기와 밀도의 차이에 따라서도 차이를 보이지 않았다. 또한 황복은 감염새우를 선택적으로 포식하기는 하지만 감염새우가 부족할 경우에는 새우의 건강상태와는 무관하게 일정량의 새우를 포식하기 때문에 새우양식장에 황복을 넣을 때는 황복의 입식시기와 밀도 뿐 아니라 황복의 총중량도 충분히 고려되어야 한다.
